Very Good.I remember his face when he spoiled the Penalty for Italy in one of the World Cup Soccer Final .
It is good to hear that he considers this award more precious than the awards what he got for his achievements in the field of football.
I think it is good to see a sportsperson getting such awards..which is indeed a huge acheivement. :)
Many congratulations to the footballer Roberto Baggio for winning this precious award...

:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
Congratulations to roberto,getting good reward for good cause.
Really I knew this face of Baggio only now.It is a model that can be practiced.
I think he received the FIFA player of the year in 1993. :) :) .
