On this day in 2006, Cannavaro became the first, and so far only, defender to win the Ballon d'Or.

He played in every minute of Italy's World Cup-winning campaign, marshaling a defence that conceded just 2 goals all tournament.

For an Italian the award is doubly memorable. The Milan sweeper Franco Baresi and Milan captain Paolo Maldini were each in their heyday considered the best defender in the world but neither was able to win Europe's top individual award, which is usually reserved for creative or attacking players.
