You may have thought that award season drew to a close at the start of the autumn with France Football’s 69th Ballon d’Or ceremony, but governing bodies and media publications aren’t yet done with dishing out brass to some of the sport’s shining lights.
Since 2003, Turin-based newspaperTuttosport has been crowning its ’Golden Boy’ every year. The award set out to honor the game’s brightest young talents, with only those who are under 21 and competing in Europe eligible for the award.
