	• Until 1985, journalists could vote for South American players at any club around the world, including Europe. • From 1986 on, only players playing in a South American club could win the award. Since 1998 and their entry in the Copa Libertadores, Mexican clubs were added to the mix. • I’ve added the european clubs the players played with (only top division clubs), at first to help, but more as a nice bonus. • Every player is an international, except for n°1 in 90 (capped at U21 for Spain) and N°2 in 02 (Copa Libertadores MVP that year)
