Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale’s Premier League stardom peaked in 2012-13 with Tottenham, when he won the Player of the Season award. A move to Real Madrid that summer propelled him to new heights, taking every title on offer, including 3 LaLiga and 5 UEFA Champions League crowns. He retired as Wales’ most capped player and top scorer after leading The Dragons to a famous UEFA EURO 4th-place finish on their first appearance in the competition in 2016, and qualification for the 2022 FIFA World Cup™.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Gianluigi Buffon. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Gianluigi Buffon

Gianluigi Buffon safeguarded the prestige of Italian football across three different decades. The towering Tuscan first rose to prominence with Parma, winning the 1998-99 UEFA Cup. A move to Juventus at the turn of the century propelled him to new heights, conquering 10 Serie A titles, 7 of them in succession between 2011-12 and 2017-18. His crowning achievement was lifting the 2006 FIFA World Cup™, earning 2nd place in that year’s Ballon d’Or for his Azzurri heroics.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Lotta Schelin. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Lotta Schelin

Lotta Schelin took a calculated risk when she joined Olympique Lyonnais in the summer of 2008. French clubs were not a threat to the European elite yet, but OL would soon capitalise on their ambitious project as Schelin’s unquenching thirst for goals catapulted them to three UEFA Women’s Champions League titles and eight league crowns in as many seasons. She retired as Sweden’s all-time top scorer, contributing to a third-place finish at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup™.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Marinette Pichon. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Marinette Pichon

In 2002, Marinette Pichon left her native France to join the first-ever fully professional female league in the United States. Despite missing out on the title in her debut campaign with the Philadelphia Charge, she beat a strong field of local and international stars to the MVP Award. She carried this momentum onto the international stage by leading France to their first FIFA Women's World Cup™ participation in 2003, and fittingly scored the first goal in Les Bleues history.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Lillian Thuram. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Lillian Thuram

Lilian Thuram wrote one of the most thrilling chapters in the saga of France’s 1998 FIFA World Cup™ conquest. After Croatia took a 1-0 lead in the semi-final, the relentless defender turned the tables with a magnificent brace, clearing the path to the final. His efforts at right-back earned him the Bronze Ball as the 3rd best player of the tournament. His illustrious career includes wins at UEFA EURO 2000 with Les Blues, the 1998-99 UEFA Cup with Parma, and 2 Serie A titles with Juventus.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Julie Foudy. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Julie Foudy

Following her international debut with the United States at only 17 years old, Julie Foudy stood out in a team that captured the imagination of a country that was still developing a taste for football in the nineties. After their success at the inaugural FIFA Women's World Cup™ in 1991, the USWNT followed up with a dramatic second world crown at home in 1999. The resulting hype around the team planted the seeds of full professionalism in women´s football at the turn of the millennium.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Aya Miyama. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Aya Miyama

Aya Miyama’s determination in the face of adversity allowed Japan to write history at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup™. The “Nadeshiko” found themselves trailing behind a heavily favoured United States twice in the final, and Miyama rose to the occasion both times to keep their hopes alive. First she scored an equaliser in regular time, and later assisted Homare Sawa deep into extra time from a corner to take the game into penalties, where they eventually prevailed.

Player shield item featuring a picture and player stats of Nadine Angerer. The shield has gold and white marble features.

Nadine Angerer

Having won it all at club level with Turbine Potsdam, Nadine Angerer stepped up to her first tournament as Germany’s starting goalkeeper at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup™ in style. She did not concede a single goal, including a penalty save in the final against Brazilian superstar Marta en route to the title. Further success with Germany, including an impressive UEFA Women’s EURO title in 2013, made her the first keeper, male or female, to be named FIFA World Player of the Year.
