Nope. Should have won in 1999, 2001 not sure although he had more 1st place votes than Figo. People overstate Keane's influence on the team's performance in the CL. Beckham was the difference maker. All the important moments were directly tied to his right foot. When a team wins the treble, the Ballon d'Or has to be from that team. Simple.Think a 2nd place in the Ballon in 1999 is a generous enough reflection of his performance level.
Also believe that being the greatest crosser of the ball in pro football entitles him to a seat at the table. His image as a golden boy played against him.
