Premiership: Houllier honoured for cup treble

Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has landed a special award from Nationwide after leading the Reds to cup glory on three fronts.

Although George Burley has won the Carling manager of the year award - he will pick his prize up at a League Managers’ Association dinner in Nottingham tonight - Houllier has been rewarded by the sponsor of the England team and the Football League after guiding the Reds to the UEFA, FA and Worthington Cup treble.
