In 2004, Bremen's "Werder" sensationally became the German champion, and Brazilian Ailton was one of the key players of the team that season.
Thus, the striker became a real source of fear for defenders in that season of the Bundesliga: Ailton scored 28 goals and also stood out with eight assists.
The Brazilian footballer was named the best scorer of the tournament, for which he won the traditional "Cannonball" award from the "Kicker" publication.
But in 2007, the striker and his agent went through a series of legal battles. The subject of the disputes was the money the footballer owed. The court ruled against the striker, after which the footballer put the "Cannonball" award up for auction on "eBay" and sold it.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to foreign media that after 21 years, 52-year-old Ailton bought the "Cannonball" again.
"This award means everything to me. There is only one such cup in the world," said Ailton.
Ailton felt great joy at being reunited with his favorite award.
