1) This was way back in the year1996 and the two top candidates for the Ballon Ór that year was Sir Bobby Charlton from England and Eusibo  of Portugal.

 That  year Sir Bobby Charlton defeated Eusibo , by a single vote.

 For Eusibo it was a case of being so very close ad also being so far.

2) Back in the year 1996 the two main candidates for the balloon d Or was the German Matthaeus Sammer and Ronaldo Nazario., the Brazilian.

 Now Mathaeus Sammer also won the Balloon dÓr b a single vote.

He is the last German footballer to win the Ballon d Or.

 He managed to win the Balloon dÓr hat year as he helped Germany win the Euro Cup 1996 .
