Didier Drogba, the man who scored Chelsea's first ever European Champions League triumph, leads the nominations for Africa's Player of the Year award.
The striker's winning penalty in a dramatic shootout against German giants Bayern Munich was his last strike of the ball for the English club, with whom he spent eight seasons.
Drogba, who is a huge star back in the Ivory Coast and is credited with a Major role in ending the country's civil war, now plays for Shanghai Shenhua in China.
Also on the list is Christopher Katongo, who led Zambia to a maiden Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) victory earlier in 2012, as they beat Drogba's Ivory Coast in the final.
The minnows stunned the continent as they triumphed at the finals, hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea, and Katongo was named player of the tournament
