Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been voted the 2009 Footballer of the
Year by the Football Writers' Association.
The 28-year-old England international topped the poll of journalists ahead of
Manchester United duo Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney to win the prestigious
accolade, which has been running since 1948.
Gerrard, who has led the Reds' challenge to United for the Premier League
title, will receive his award at the FWA's gala dinner at the Royal Lancaster
Hotel in London on 29th May.
"I'm delighted but I'm a little bit surprised," said Gerrard. "When you look
at the quality of the players there are in this league, it's a great
privilege to win this kind of award.
Surprise
"It's not just the Manchester United players. When you look at the players
the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal and other teams have got, they all have
fantastic players throughout their squads now.
"The quality is getting better and better each year so to win this award is a
great achievement for myself.
"It's made even more special for me because I am following in the footsteps
of Liverpool players like John Barnes, Steve Nicol and Kenny Dalglish who
were heroes of mine.
"Then further back players like Ian Callaghan and Terry McDermott who were
heroes to my dad and so many other Liverpool fans."
Reds manager Rafa Benitez told the club's official website: "I'm really
pleased for Steven.
"It is fantastic for him because he was competing with a lot of good players.
Quality
"For him to be named player of the year is massive credit to him and shows
just how much he has achieved."
Chairman of the FWA Steve Bates said: "Steven's performances this season have
been of the highest quality.
"His drive and desire have underpinned Liverpool's Premier League title
challenge and ensured a tight finish to the season.
"Steven is clearly in his prime and quite rightly rated one of the finest
midfield players of his generation, and the FWA are delighted to honour his
contribution to club and country."
