FORLAN SURPRISED TO WIN BEST PLAYER AWARD


Diego Forlan dedicated his World Cup Golden Ball award to his Uruguay team-mates after picking up the prize.

The Atletico Madrid hit-man was named the best player in South Africa after scoring five goals at the finals and helping his country reach the semi-finals before losing to Holland.

Forlan beat Holland's Wesley Sneijder and Spain's David Villa to the prize and he admits he was surprised to take the accolade.

Forlan admitted he was leaving South Africa with a tinge of sadness after going so close to reaching the final.
