Football Writers Footballer Of The Year Award
 A Brief History Of Football Writers Footballer Of The Year Award It was Charles Buchan, the publisher and writer of Football Monthly as well as one of the founding fathers of the FWA, who suggested that an award should be given 'to the professional player who by precept and example is considered by a ballot of members to be the footballer of the year.' That was back in 1947 and since then the Footballer of the Year Award has become one of the most prestigious award in the British game. Voted for year on year by the FWA members, the first recipient was the legendary Sir Stanley Matthews and ever since players have been honoured for their achievements. |
