Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has been named as the
PFA Fans' Player of the Year for 2009.
The 28-year-old England international won three monthly awards
through the campaign and has been given the nod for the overall
prize.
PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor commented: "Steven has always
been a particular favourite of mine and I was delighted when he was
nominated by his fellow pros for our Players' Player of the Year
award.
"Obviously that particular award went to Ryan Giggs and rightly
so, so I am equally thrilled that football fans up and down the
country have acknowledged Steven in this way.
"Like his many supporters, I have the utmost respect and
admiration for the way he continues to go about his business.
"He is a top pro and a worthy winner."
