Norway have won the award in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2006.

LOL! I guess you are refering to John A. Riise.
Dude I saw that game and man that was crazy. I was just saying to my dad that Liverpool would be soooo unlucky if Chelsea scored now and then 2 seconds later Riise headed the ball in his own goal lol!

I bet if you're a Liverpool fan that gotta hurt. Too bad Chelsea made the final. I hate Chelsea!!
