On Del Piero's site: Here is a prize that was missing: from now on I will be able to show off an unexpected "Telegatto" together with championship shields, cups and medals. The award ceremony took place last night in Rome, a wonderful party with a great attendance ranging from tv personalities to cinema, music and sport stars: a show on its own... But what really pleased me was the prize of course: in a year like the one just gone by, so successful for italian sport (the world cup and especially the winter olympic games), being voted by so many people as the sportsman of the year is a recognition of all my work, before, during and after the world cup, and maybe also because I managed to pass on values that are important to me, like passion and love for football and the results, that I expect from myself in all I do.

He was voted Sportsman of the year?

Yeah, quite unexpectedly: the voters had to choose between him, the Italian Nt and Valentino Rossi. Considering that the NT is World Champion and that Valentino is loved all over Italy, regardless the football faith of his supporters and considering that Ale was booed by the crowd when he was guest at this same Galà in '98.. :disagree:
