Steven Gerrard has capped another
brilliant season at Anfield by being named the PFA Player of the
Year by his fellow professionals.
At a gala ceremony in London's Grosvenor House Hotel this evening,
the Liverpool 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 an excellent display
against Chelsea yesterday.
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.
