What a year it's been for football!

As well as exciting conclusions to national leagues, plus clubs' domestic and continental cup competitions all over the world, 2009 has also witnessed the FIFA Confederations Cup, 32 teams qualify for South Africa (and the Final Draw), plus the FIFA U-20 and U-17 World Cups respectively.

Exciting new talents have emerged, great and important goals have been scored, both on the pitch - and on the sand as Brazil won their fourth FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup crown in a row.

We've also seen Lionel Messi and Marta recently crowned as the year's best male and female players respectively - and the Argentinean was celebrating on Saturday 19 December as Barcelona lifted the FIFA Club World Cup in Abu Dhabi.

These were of course the stories that grabbed all the headlines, but maybe you have your own special memory from 2009. Was it a certain club winning promotion or a title, or perhaps an epic derby victory for your favourite team? Or did your hero score a classic goal that will live long in the memory of all those who saw it?
