Portugal - Footballer of the Year (original) (raw)

Between 1986 and 2002 there were two elections, one by CNID (club of journalists) open to any player of Portuguese nationality, the other, of the newspaper 'Record', to all players in the Portuguese league. The 1970 award was by the Di�rio Popular; since 2006 the LPFP awards the title.
