Former German footballer Bastian Schweinsteiger said it was a big honour to win GQ Germany's Sports Icon Award at the Men of the Year Awards in Berlin recently. The former Manchester United and Bayern star, 34, shared a picture of himself and former tennis player wife Ana Ivanovic, 31 with the award on Twitter and captioned it, "Thank you GQ for having me and my wonderful wife at GQ Men of the Year.

Thank you for the great night and for the big honor." The footballer, who plays for MLS club Chicago Fire joined fellow German national teammates Philipp Lahm and Jerome Boateng as a recipient of the annual sporting honour.
