Swiss referee Massimo Busacca has been voted the world's best referee for 2009 by a group of football historians.
The 40-year old took charge of last season's UEFA Champions League final between Barcelona and Manchester United.
He is also on the shortlist to attend the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
Although Busacca is without doubt one the best referees around, he isn't without controversy. He was suspended for three matches last season by the Swiss FA after making an obscene hand gesture to a supporter during a Swiss cup match.
Busacca finished ahead of Italy's Roberto Rosetti, who was voted second and England's Howard Webb, who was voted third.
