Back in October, FIFA unveiled the Puskas Award which will be given to a player, male or female, who scores the greatest goal of the year. While there may be some argument as to who should win, the nominees are up on FIFA’s website and voting is open to the public. Essien, Torres, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Iniesta are among the finalists.
The Puskas award is named for Hungary’s famed attacking midfielder Ferenc Puskas (known in his day as the “Galloping Major”) who ruled at Real Madrid in the 50’s and early 60’s.
