The SJPF Player of the Month (often called Portuguese League Player of the Month) is an association football award that recognizes the best Portuguese League player each month of the season and is conceived by the SJPF (syndicate of professional football players). The award has been presented since the 2003–04 season and the recipient is based on individual scores assigned by the three national sports dailies (A Bola, Record and O Jogo). The first winner of the award was Beira-Mar midfielder Juninho Petrolina on September 2003.[1]
Only Hulk have won the award eight times. The brazilian also holds the record for consecutive wins, five. Pedro Barbosa became the first Portuguese to win the award on November 2003. The "Big Three" (SL Benfica, FC Porto and Sporting CP) have had the most winners.
