It will be awarded to the player who scores the best goal off a balloon lying on the pitch.A lot of painstaking research on the net over a period of five whole minutes has turned up two candidates.One is Darren Bent.His sublime effort is on view in the last post.This second candidate is a player from Sheffield United who also used a balloon to good effect.
This trophy is not to be confused with the Ballon d'Or which is awarded to the European Footballer of the Year - the nominees list of which can be viewed here..Pictures of the respective trophies have been posted to eliminate any possible confusion ...
That one is the Ballon d'Or.
And this one is the Balloon d'Or.As you can see its quite different.
