Gerrard and Rooney win PFA awards

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admitted he felt a great sense of humility after being named the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year at a gala dinner in London tonight.

The 25-year-old England midfielder topped the poll as voted for by his colleagues ahead of the other five leading candidates – Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney and Chelsea trio Joe Cole, Frank Lampard and John Terry, last year’s winner.
