PFA Players' Player of the Year
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the end of every English football season the members of the PFA, the players union, vote on which of its members has played the best football in the previous year. As the award is voted on by the players it is often viewed as the premier individual honour given in domestic English football, especially by the players themselves. The award was first given in 1974.
