| In a nutshell: |
Along with the Players Player of the Year Award, it's the top honour in the English game.
|
| Awarded to: |
The best player from the English football leagues, regardless of nationality.
|
| Voted by: |
Members of the Football Writers Association (FWA), which is basically
a group of media and agency football journalists.

| Worth a mention: |
All the big names that you'd expect to see are there, but two right-backs deserve a
special nod - Stevie Nicol (1989) and Tony Book (1969) both winning it when up
against some much heralded stars of the time.
