Though Gerrard missed out on the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, that was handed to Manchester United veteran Ryan Giggs. However, the most versatile and a complete player, Steven Gerrard, has been awarded as “The PFA Fans Player of the Year” of the Year for the season 2008-2009.
The Reds captain and England mid-fielder is enjoying his most prolific season of his career. Recently he missed another hat-trick against West Ham when he missed a penalty. Liverpool defeated West Ham 3-0 at Upton Park.
The chief executive of the Professional Footballer’s Association, Gordon Taylor, is quoted by the club’s official website as saying, “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, but I am equally thrilled that football fans up and down the country have acknowledged Steven in this way. Like his many supporters and suitors, 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.
For this season Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has shifted him further up field to support silky Spanish striker Fernando Torres. The tactical re-jig has born emphatic results, including a hat-trick against Aston Villa in the Premier League, and a brace versus Real Madrid in the Champions League.
