BALLON D'OR; Eight Premiership Players Nominated.........The Names Will Surprise You

Eight Premiership players have been listed in the 30 names released for the likely winner of this year Ballon d' or.

Leicester City heroes Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, stars in their team’s fairytale run to the Premier League title, have also been named on a 30-player longlist for the 2016 Ballon d’Or.

The first Ballon d’Or was won by Stanley Matthews, at the time with Blackpool, who beat Alfredo Di Stefano for the inaugural title in 1956.

The most suprising part of this year award, is that Vardy — who has enjoyed a meteoric rise from amateur football to rub shoulders with the game’s biggest names — is the sole Englishman nominated for the prestigious prize.

The winner will be determined by a vote of journalists — national team captains and managers will no longer have a say after the ending of the five-year deal between France Football and FIFA.
