Andriy Schevchenko from AC Milan, nearly 29 years old, is the Golden Foot 2005 winner, the award promoted by World Champions Club and La Gazzetta dello Sport. Shevchenko has scored only a few votes more than Paolo Maldini, his team mate. The Portuguese Luis Figo got the third position, closed to the winner too. On the contrary, the seven other nominees (Beckham, Crespo, Kahn, Romario, Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy and Zidane) were much far away.
From 7:00 p.m. today, Andriy Shevchenko's footprint is shining besides the ones of other very famous footballer (George Best, Francisco Gento, Luigi Riva, Roberto Rivellino and George Weah), so great that the 2005 Golden Foot winner felt embarrassed at first: "I feel touched, it was quite a stress to see football legends besides me. I shook their hands with the shyness of a kid".
