The Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan has been voted BBC African Footballer of the Year. Gyan received well over half the votes in a public ballot conducted by text and email. The 25-year-old led Ghana at the World Cup in South Africa, missing a penalty, which denied his country a place in the semi-finals. Gyan thanked the whole of Africa for voting for him. He's the third Ghanaian to win the title, Africa's only major football prize awarded exclusively by fans.
