When Diego Forlan curled that free kick past the Ghanaian
goalkeeper in World Cup 2010, a star was born. Five goals
in South Africa this year saw him receiving the Golden Ball
as the best player. |

Speak to contemporary footballers and coaches and the consistent comment about Forlan’s success is it is well-deserved, few footballers have such a rigorous work ethic. Speak to Forlan and he laughs it off saying he loves being on the field so much it translates into a lot of training!

| Forlan’s extraordinary talent had been on display in his performances for Atletico Madrid for
the past two years. His standout performances for this modest Spanish club have made him
a two-time winner of both the Pichichi Trophy (the first player to win it twice after Ronaldo’s
double in 2003-4), and the European Golden Shoe. The Foundation would like to thank
Mahuaa TV for donating this once-in-a-lifetime piece for Indian bidders. The value of this
lot is only matched by the spirit of philanthropy behind it. |
