Which player won the most consecutive Ballon d’Ors?

Question

Winning one Ballon d’Or is a fantastic achievement, but which player has won the most consecutive awards?

Answer 1

Michel Platini won an incredible three back-to-back between 1983 and 1985. It remains an unprecedented achievement by one of the best European players of all-time. Interestingly, though, Kevin Keegan could have won a hat-trick of consecutive Ballon d’Ors back in the 1970s – if only he hadn’t finished second in 1977.
