Steven Gerrard has been named as the PFA Fans' Player of the Year for the 2008-09 season.
The Liverpool captain, who has struck 21 goals so far this campaign, was recently pipped to the PFA Players' Player of the Year award by Manchester United's Ryan Giggs.
However, following a vote conducted by the PFA, Gerrard has scooped the fans' gong after another exceptional season.
PFA Chief Executive Gordon Taylor said: "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, and I am equally thrilled that football fans up and down the country have acknowledged Steven in this way.
"Like his many supporters and suitors, 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."
Gerrard was the inaugural winner of the honour in 2001.
