Henderson wins FWA Footballer of the Year 2019-20

The Liverpool captain has been instrumental in the Red’s title win this season and has been somewhat rightfully awarded the Footballer of the Year 2019-20 by the Football Writer’s Association (FWA)

The FWA Footballer of the Year is the oldest individual award in English football, it has been awarded to the outstanding player of each campaign since 1948.

The English midfielder captained Liverpool to their first domestic title in 30 years and saw off competition from Kevin de Bruyne, Marcos Rashford, Sadio Mane and Virgil van Dijk to win the prestigious award. Assist  machine Kevin de Bruyne was a close second and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford came third.

 

Henderson told the FWA website, "I'd like to say how appreciative I am of the support of those who voted for me and the Football Writers' Association in general. You only have to look at the past winners of it, a number of whom I've been blessed to play with here at Liverpool, like Stevie (Gerrard), Luis (Suarez) and Mo (Salah) to know how prestigious it is."

 

"As grateful as I am I don't feel like I can accept this on my own. I don't feel like anything I've achieved this season or in fact during my whole career has been done on my own. I owe a lot to so many different people, but none more so than my current team-mates, who have just been incredible and deserve this every bit as much as I do."

 

"We've only achieved what we've achieved because every single member of our squad has been brilliant. Not just in matches, not just in producing the moments that make the headlines and the back pages, but every day in training."

 

"The players who've started the most games for us this season have been as good as they have been because of our culture and our environment at Melwood. No one individual is responsible for that – it's a collective effort and that's how I view accepting this honour."

 

"I accept it on behalf of this whole squad, because without them I'm not in a position to be receiving this honour. These lads have made me a better player – a better leader and a better person. If anything I hope those who voted for me did so partly to recognise the entire team's contribution."

 

"Individual awards are nice and they are special and I will cherish this one, but an individual award without the collective achievement wouldn't mean anywhere as much to me – if anything at all."
