Speaking at the The Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony at London Palladium, the 31-year-old dedicated the prize to his father."It's an honour for me and I'm delighted to receive this trophy today," he said. "I would like to thank the people who voted for me. I would like to congratulate the three [finalists], who scored amazing goals too."Obviously, I would like to thank my team-mates – without them I could not score this goal – and my family."I also would like to dedicate this trophy to my Dad." Giroud saw off competition from Venezuela women's international Deyna Castellanos and Baroka goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke to win the award. Castellanos scored a 94th-minute winner from the halfway line against Cameroon at the Under-17 Women's World Cup last year immediately after her team had conceded what seemed to be a last-minute equaliser. Masuluke, meanwhile, went up for a corner and netted a stunning last-gasp leveller for Baroka against the Orlando Pirates in the South African Premiership last November.</blockquote>
