QUIZ Can you tell us whether each of these players have won the Ballon d'Or?

It's all gettable stuff, but there are a couple where the benefit of getting other answers will give you a little nudge along the way, because that's how crosswords work.

There's no time limit for you on this crossword. For the avoidance of doubt, if we ask for a person's name, it's just their surname we're after.

You can get a clue, too, because we're not that mean. Simply sign into Kwizly and we'll give you the next letter that you're looking for on your path when you click the ‘Hint’ button.
