At a gala ceremony in London's Grosvenor House Hotel on Sunday
evening, the Reds captain beat off competition from Wayne Rooney,
Frank Lampard, Thierry Henry, John Terry and Joe Cole to land the
top honour.
The award finishes off a sensational weekend for Gerrard after he
helped Liverpool into the FA Cup final with a 2-1 victory against
Chelsea at Old Trafford on Saturday.
With 19 goals to his name, Gerrard currently sits at the top of the
goalscoring charts at Anfield and has played an inspirational role
in the Reds' securing Champions League football for next season
with three games to spare.
Manchester United's Wayne Rooney won the Young Player of the Year
award.

Why does Gerrald and not Henry who is being named for the Player of
the Year? No offense to Pool fans but dont you agree that Gerrald
was not consistent in this season anyway and has only 8 EPL goals
to his name. This is deifnately not his best season sia. And what
has Liverpool achieved this season with him? Only the F.A cup
final. Its not as this is their treble season or something
If you wan a midfielder I thought Lampard will be a better choice
instead with 16 goals.
Henry practically carry the whole Arsenal Team on his shoulder. Did
the ones who voted actually how he merorised us with his dribling
and goals scoring ability. The Top Scorer in EPL since 2003 and
without a doubt this season too. A pity Loca Toni of Italy scored a
incredible 28 goals so far this season. With Eto 24 goals and Henry
23 goals, i guess Henry will not be be able to get the golden boot
award in Europe this season.
For goodness sake, if u score 3 times more than EPL player of the
year and you are overlook, i wonder how u can win...
Roodney is the Young Player of the Year. I was hoping Fabregas will
win but i guess Roodney prob has that edge due to the
agreesiveness.
