World footballer of the year 2006

[steviegw]

Since settling and pledging his future to us he has been sensational - surely he is the best midfielder in his position in the world and the probably the most versatile player in the world....At this stage there is no other player in the world that I'd rather have, and if England do well in the world cup, surely he will be one of the strong condidates for the honour next year

[Maldini]

He hasn't got the hype machine behind him anymore though, they're working 24/7 on Rooney

[Guest Red in Holland]

Rooney sent off in the world cup. Gerrard saves the day for England, to get the plaudits he fully deserves, finally. You heard it here first.
