GERRARD CLAIMS TOP AWARD

The PFA Player of the Year 2006

Steven Gerrard has capped another brilliant season at Anfield by being named the PFA Player of the Year by his fellow professionals.

At a gala ceremony in London's Grosvenor House Hotel this evening, the Liverpool captain beat off competition from Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Thierry Henry, John Terry and Joe Cole to land the top honour.

The award finishes off a sensational weekend for Gerrard after he helped Liverpool into the FA Cup final with an excellent display against Chelsea yesterday.

Stevie G is the first Liverpool player to win the award since John Barnes captured it in 1988.

Manchester United's Wayne Rooney won the Young Player of the Year award.
