French Player of the Year
The French Player of the Year is an association football award presented annually by the French magazine France Football since 1959. Originally, only French players playing in France were eligible, but from 1996 French players playing abroad were in contention to win the trophy. Since 2001, former winners elect the player of the year.[1]
Thierry Henry, pictured in 2008, was named French Player of the Year five times, more than any other player.

gollark: Both parties can gerrymander etc. horribly so I don't see much of an incentive for them to do that.
gollark: ... yes, at least some of the people involved?
gollark: Would it? I mean, it would be harder to claim "they stole the election" if Trump literally could not run (according to law).
