Every year FIFA's Puskás award recognises the very best in stylish goalscoring. Named after the legendary Hungarian, it was established in 2009 and counts Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic among its winners.

Among the big names this year is our own Stephanie Roche, who scored a belter of goal for Peamount United last October. Roche, who now plays for ASPTT Albi in France, showed some great dexterity with both feet, flicking the ball up for an unstoppable outside-the-box volley.

Roche, the only woman nominated, will be up against the likes of Diego Costa and James Rodriguez.
