Ballon d'Or Teaser

[dav3j]

Great question a bloke at work sent round today, I only got one of these at the first attempt, took a while for someone to get all of them! No Googling now... There are a couple of good clues he gave out which I can do if needs be

Messi (until the other day) won the Ballon d'Or an equal record three times. Can you name the three other players to have accomplished the same feat?

No one willing to take a punt on all three then? There are some right answers here already...

John Lacey, Ben Thatcher and Hossam Ghaly.

It's a fucking travesty that Ghaly never won the Ballon d'Or. He is in form for the whole of 2006.

Only one I can think of is Platini. Don't know if I'm right though

Scored a superhero goal against Chelsea in the FA Cup. That jumping chest down he did to escape 3 chavs was epic!

A combination of post #2 and post #4, chrisivad's and spurrific is spot on...
