Tottenham's winger, Gareth
Bale has been named Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year
and Young Player of the Year. He becomes only the third player to win both
awards in the same season.
"It's a massive
honour," said the 23-year-old. "To be voted by your peers is one of
the biggest things in the game."
Bale fought off competition from Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Robin van Persie of Manchester United to win the prestigious main award.
Suarez, currently serving
a 10-match suspension for biting, and Van Persie were named in the Premier
League team of the year. Suarez's name was
twice booed by an audience largely consisting of footballers during the
ceremony in London.
