CAF Award: Yaya Toure wins African Footballer of the year.

Cote d'Ivoire and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has won the 2011 African Footballer Award. Toure who won off stiff opposition from Seydou Keita and Andrew Ayew was all full of happiness.

Among them was the winner against bitter rivals Manchester United in an FA Cup semi-final and the sole goal against Stoke City in the final that ended a long City trophy drought.
Seydou Keita of Mali and Barcelona came second and Andrew Ayew (son of Ghana Legend Abedi Pele) who plays for Ghana and Olympique Marseille of France came out third.

1) Oussama Darragi (Tunisia/Esperance) - African Footballer of the year (Africa base).
2) Perpetual Nkwocha (Nigeria) -  African Woman Footballer of the year.
3) Soulemane Coulibaly (Tottenham/Cote d'Ivoire) - Most Promising Talent.
