PFA Fans’ Player of the Year goes to Steven Gerrard

Captain Steven Gerrard has notched up the PFA Fans’ Player of The Year title for the 2008-09 season to end his campaign by winning a PFA award. This has followed the PFA Player of The Year award which went to the Manchester United player, Ryan Giggs and eluded the skipper.

The PFA Player of The Year awarded to Ryan did not pass without concerns that it suited the versatile captain of Liverpool, Steven Gerrard. The ex Liverpool FC footballer, John Barnes, noted that Ryan Giggs is a significant player for his team, a great player and fine guy in the game but although it be, this season Stephen Gerrard had spectacular performance that put him suitable for the player of the year.

Barnes said:

“In reality Steven has been the best player in the Premier League this season and deserved the award”, as quoted on Liverpool FC’s official website.

Steven Gerrard has been a formidable force behind Liverpool through this season and earned nomination for the PFA best player award. He has scored impressive goals including a hat-trick against Aston Villa and the sense of missing a professional player was felt during the period he had to stay out of play until his recovery from injury.

It is Gerrard’s moment now, as he wins PFA Fans’ Player of The Year award, to take heart and be proud about the many fans that cherish him for his confidence, skill, power, pace and inspiration.

The Chief Executive of the PFA, Gordon Taylor, said on the club’s official website:

“Steven has always been a particular fovourtie of mine and I was delighted when he was nominated by his fellow pros for our Players’ Player of the Year award”.

“He is a top pro and a worthy winner”.

Many things about Gerrard say, ‘there is more to desire and there are greater things to be won’.
