German Footballer of the Year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The title Footballer of the Year (Fußballer des Jahres) has been awarded in Germany since 1960. The award is determined by a poll of German football journalists from the Association of German Sports Journalists (Verband der Deutschen Sportjournalisten) and the publication Kicker. Eligible are German players abroad and players in Germany. In 2004 the Brazilian Ailton became the first foreign player to attain this honour.
