FlippinEck 3,705 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Bangor's Les Davies nominated for Uefa's best player in Europe awardBangor City's Les Davies has been included on a 32-man list of players nominated for Uefa's best player in Europe award. The 27-year-old is on a list which also includes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The long-list was drawn up by one selected journalist from each Uefa member country voting for their five best players. A single nomination, believed to be from a Welsh journalist, was enough to earn Davies's place. "I wouldn't have expected this in a million years," said Davies. The list also includes 13 Premier League players, with five from champions Manchester City. Davies joined Bangor City from Glantraeth in 2003 and spent a spell at Porthmadog before returning to Bangor in June 2007. The winger is a former Welsh under-21 international and has also represented Wales' semi-professional under-23 side. The Uefa award ceremony will take place on 30 August in Monaco.Uefa best player in Europe long list: Aguero (Manchester City), Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Balotelli (Manchester City), Blaszczykowski (Borussia Dortmund), Buffon (Juventus), Casillas (Real Madrid), Cech (Chelsea), Coentrao (Real Madrid), Davies (Bangor City), Drogba (Shanghai Shenhua), Fabregas (Barcelona), Falcao (Atletico Madrid), Hart (Manchester City), Ibrahimovic (AC Milan), Iniesta (Barcelona), Kagawa (Manchester Utd), Kompany (Manchester City), Lampard (Chelsea), Messi (Barcelona), Modric (Tottenham), Ozil (Real Madrid), Pepe (Real Madrid), Pirlo (Juventus), Ramos (Real Madrid), Raul (Al-Sadd Sports Club), Ronaldo (Real Madrid), Rooney (Manchester Utd), Silva (Manchester City), Torres (Chelsea), Y Toure (Manchester City), van Persie (Arsenal), Xavi (Barcelona).Bizarre Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
