Bulgarian award

BULGARIA'S soccer soap opera took a fresh twist yesterday when Prime Minister Boiko Borisov urged organizers to annul the country's player of the year poll after he spectacularly won. Flamboyant Borisov, who sometimes plays as a forward for third division Vitosha Bistritsa, triumphed in the fans' poll after collecting 44 percent of the votes with Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov coming second with 24 percent. "It's a protest vote," Borisov, 52, said in a statement yesterday. "This vote is not a signal that Borisov is the best player but that the Bulgarian football needs reforms and a new policy."
