Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has been named as the PFA Fans' Player of the Year for 2009.

The 28-year-old England international won three monthly awards through the campaign and has been given the nod for the overall prize.

PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor commented: "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, so I am equally thrilled that football fans up and down the country have acknowledged Steven in this way.

"Like his many supporters, 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."
