Fabulous Figo collects FIFA award
ZURICH,
Luis Figo`s latest footballing accolade, the first FIFA player of the Year award for a Portuguese player, will come as further confirmation of the Real Madrid maestro`s finely-honed talents.
The 29-year-old Figo won the prestigious European Player of the Year award (Ballon d`Or) last year, and also held off Zinedine Zidane in the vote-counting to win World Soccer magazine`s 2000 FIFA World Player of the Year.
This time round Figo held off England international pin-up David Beckham and Real Madrid teammate Raul to scoop FIFA`s version of the world`s best player on Monday.
Beckham came in second, with Raul finishing in third place when the 130 votes from national team coaches were counted.
This latest recognition of Figo`s talent is also one for Portugal, a nation whose football is widely admired and who were minutes away from the Euro 2000 final before France scored a golden goal from the spot.
Figo, who angered thousands of Catalans when he completed his hugely-controversial move from Barcelona to bitter league rivals Real Madrid last year, effectively began his career as an 11-year-old.
He signed schoolboy forms with Sporting Lisbon, with whom he honed his skills under Bobby Robson until 1995 and which would one day help him become one of the world`s deadliest midfielders.
During his 10-year spell with Sporting, Figo won only the Portuguese Cup. But that spell was an education which allowed him to emerge as a future star, also as a member of the various Portuguese national teams.
He was an integral part of the under-16 team which finished third in the world championships in Scotland in 1989. Two years later he was again a vital cog in the Portuguese youth team that won the World Youth Championships on home soil.
However his 10-year honeymoon at Sporting would eventually end. When it did in 1995, it left him in footballer`s limbo.
Parma and Juventus were interested in acquiring his services. But in an incomprehensible mix-up, Figo signed one contract, his agent another and he was effectively without a club as both clubs claimed his services.
Figo was subsequently banned from playing in the Italian league for two years, leaving him available for Barcelona to snap up who wanted someone to replace dynamic Dane Michael Laudrup.
Figo didn`t disappoint, quickly capturing the hearts of the Nou Camp and helping erase memories of Laudrup with his speed, accuracy and indomitable work rate.
In five years with the Spanish League giants Figo helped win two league titles, the domestic cup, a Cup Winners Cup and a European Super Cup.
Last year he was also voted Portuguese player of the year for the fifth consecutive time - a sign of the esteem in which he is held at home while he plies his trade on foreign shores.
After starring for Portugal in last year`s Euro 2000 championships, where he helped take Portugal to the semi-finals, Figo`s future at Barca was left hanging in the balance.
The Catalan club seemed hesitant to commit so Real Madrid, in their bid to complete their construction of a European super-club, stepped in.
Figo, born on November 4, 1972, in Lisbon, eventually moved to Real in a 56-million-dollar deal, a transfer that many believed could not happen due to the acrimony between Spain`s biggest football club rivalry.
His move was so symbolic that it effectively allowed Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to stay in power following elections at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium last summer.
