Real Madrid duo Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane and Arsenal's Thierry Henry have been nominated for the World Player of the Year award, FIFA have announced.
The nominations are likely to be highly disputed by football supporters across the World, especially by the failure to nominate Juventus' Pavel Nedved.
This is the first time Henry has been nominated for the award, but both Zidane and Ronaldo are past winners.
In fact the duo have won the award in five of the last seven seasons, with Ronaldo winning the award for a record third time last season.
The award will be handed out at the World Player Gala in Basle on December 15 after votes have been counted from over 140 national coaches.

Son of a ***** UEFA Neddy was(is) super. He earns golden ball award!
