Who won it 25 years ago?
The story mentions Harry Kane is the first Englishman to win the Ballon d'Or in 25 years. The last English recipient before him was Michael Owen, who won the prestigious award in 2001. Before Owen, only Sir Stanley Matthews had won it in 1956, making Kane's achievement particularly rare for an English player.
