Ever heard of the Golden Foot Award? No? Well you’re not alone. But it has already been on for over a decade so you’re stale.
Iniesta fought off competition from other nominees Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Andrea Pirlo and Thierry Henry to become the first Spaniard to lift the award that can only be won by players aged 28 or over.
Attending a gala in Monaco on Monday evening, Iniesta joined previous winners Ronaldinho, Ryan Giggs and Zlatan Ibrahimovic by having a mould of his
