South Africa striker Thomas Noonan wins the Golden Ball award (best player) at the 2011 Diaspora World Cup after leading his team to a runner up place finish in the tournament.

The Golden Ball, given to the best player at the Diaspora World Cup, was awarded to Noonan over Nigeria's forward Kunle Banjo and the United States midfielder Jose Ramos, who finished second and third respectively in the voting. Tom Noonan, despite just playing the second half of the final against Nigeria because of a leg injury, scored an extraordinary goal using the rabona technique the previous match against Ethiopia. After receiving his golden trophy, Tom Noonan didn't waste any time in sharing the reward with his teammates. "I'd also like to highlight those lads who didn't play much or didn't feature at all," he said. "Those guys make up the backbone of the squad and this award is for them too."
