They will join the ranks of names awarded this top honour over the past four decades, including the likes of greats Peter Shilton, Kenny Dalglish, Gary Lineker and David Platt, and more recently Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale.
Here we've attempted to put in order the achievements of each of the past winners to crown one the most worthy all-time winner of the award.
Clearly only winners from each of the 40 seasons since the award
were introduced are included, not runners-up from a particularly strong
year or other worthy candidates.
Of course, comparing players from different eras is entirely
subjective and difficult to do in any case, so we take an overall look
at what their respective teams achieved with them, as well as their own
contributions to the cause.
Even so, subjectivity and—particularly with those from the last couple of decades—memories of matches in which they played are an inevitable part of the ranking system.
Above all, the ranking is determined by clubs' and players' achievements in the season they won the award, not overall, at the peak of their powers or by combining longer-running periods of impressive form.
Derby County's Colin Todd won the second Player of the Year award, in
1975, four years after he joined the club for a then-record fee in
Britain. |

A centre-back who was regarded as being good in possession as well as with his defensive duties, Todd played under Brian Clough as Derby won the First Division that season.
Todd also won the Charity Shield in the same year at the beginning of the next season
Clive Allen broke a four-year long reign of Liverpool and Everton
players winning the PFA Player of the Year award when he won it in
1987, also claiming the FWA award at the same time.
Tottenham managed to finish third in the table that season, with Allen's huge goal haul for the campaign a big reason they did so well.
The forward hit 33 league goals that campaign—49 in all competitions—in what was his most successful campaign in front of goal.

In 1990-91, Mark Hughes made history by becoming the first player
ever to win the PFA Players' Player of the Year award twice, having won
it two seasons earlier also.
Alongside 10 league goals as Manchester United finished sixth, Hughes netted consistently in cup competitions to total 21 for the campaign in all competitions—with two goals meriting particular mention as they clinched the Cup Winners' Cup for the team in a 2-1 final win over Barcelona.
The Welsh forward only returned to English football that season, a
club-record buy for his second stint at the team, and he scored 14 times
in 38 games for a club which went as high as third in mid-February in a
season full of erratic form.
Fearless, powerful and spectacular, Hughes was a brute of a goalscorer with more than enough class and panache about his play to make him one of the top forwards in the game heading into the 1990's

The very first goalkeeper to win the Player of the Year award,
Pat Jennings was one of the greatest goalkeepers Britain had seen as he
starred for Arsenal, Tottenham and Northern Ireland.
He was also the first player to win the award without winning the league title with his club in the same season.
He won the award in 1976, shortly before he left Spurs for their
rivals, in a campaign where Spurs finished ninth in the table, conceding
63 in 42 games.
He was also the first player to win the award without winning the league title with his club in the same season.

Ryan Giggs won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award in 2009,
a third consecutive award to a Manchester United player at the time.
Despite being 35 years old that season, he remained a first-team player
for the side which went on to win the Premier League.
Giggs operated often that season from a central-midfield role, helping his side control games with his composure and intelligence on the ball and his indefatigable physical levels.
However, he only played 12 90-minute games all season, regularly being subbed off around the 60-70-minute mark.

Les Ferdinand was a beastly, burly striker who thrived in the
aerial battle but could also offer powerful shots from range on the
deck.
His best club form certainly came at Newcastle United, where he won the Player of the Year award in 1996 after a 25-goal season in his debut campaign at the club.
His goals helped the team to second place in the league table, where they also finished the following season.
Mark Hughes didn't come close to winning the title in 1989 as his
Manchester United team finished 11th in the table, but he was still
voted the Player of the Year after a great personal season, the first
United player to win the award.His best club form certainly came at Newcastle United, where he won the Player of the Year award in 1996 after a 25-goal season in his debut campaign at the club.

Gareth Bale only really established himself as a regular starter
for Tottenham in the 2010-11 season, but by the end of it he was firmly
appreciated as their star player.
His emergence as a flying winger, capable of beating full-backs with his searing pace and dribbling ability, saw him rapidly considered one of the biggest attacking talents in the division, while a once-again exposed ability to shoot from range saw his goal tally soar.
Bale scored 11 in all competitions, including a hat-trick against Inter Milan. Spurs ended the season in fifth place.

The first Premier League season saw Paul McGrath win the Player
of the Year award, with the central defender becoming only the second
Irish player to claim the honour.
Despite long-term injury problems, McGrath was still performing to a high level as he led Aston Villa to second in the league, with the third-best defensive record in the top flight.
A great reader of the game who could play out into midfield with ease, McGrath was 33 when he won the award.

Andy Gray become the first forward to win the PFA Player of the Year award when he scooped the prize in 1977.
The Aston Villa forward finished the season as joint-top scorer, hitting 25 goals in the First Division, while he also won the League Cup final with his side. Gray's goals fired Villa to a top-four finish, six points off the league winners.
A forward noted for his movement and finishing ability, Gray later played for Everton, Wolves and Rangers.
Gray also won the Young Player of the Year version of the award the same year—the first time any player managed it.

Arsenal's Liam Brady was recognised as one of the best midfield
talents of the '70s and '80s, noted for his goalscoring feats as well as
his skill on the ball. He also later played in Italy with the likes of
Juventus and Sampdoria.
In '79, Arsenal finished seventh in the league table, though his exploits also helped Arsenal to the FA Cup final, which they won.
Brady became the first non-British player to win the Player of the Year award, hailing from Ireland, who he represented more than 70 times.

Peter Shilton was one of England's finest all-time goalkeepers,
winning 125 caps and starring for the likes of Leicester City, Stoke
City and Derby County during his career, while his award-winning season
in '78 came while he played for Nottingham Forest.As reliable as they came, he was a huge presence in goal for Forest,
strong aerially and with safe hands, not to mention a long kick and
being a good organiser.
Shilton's side kept 25 clean sheets in 42 games that season to win the First Division league title.
Terry McDermott was an industrious but supremely talented
midfielder who played for Liverpool and Newcastle United in the 1970s
and '80s.
Possessor of a great range of passing and capable of scoring sensational goals, McDermott was a big part of the Liverpool team which won the First Division title in 1980, notching 11 goals himself along the way.
As well as the PFA award, McDermott also scooped the Football Writers' Association Player of the Year award—the first player to win both of these major awards in the same season.
Teddy Sheringham had a vintage campaign with Manchester United in
2000-01, winning the league title and playing a major role in the side
despite being well into his 30s by then.
Shilton's side kept 25 clean sheets in 42 games that season to win the First Division league title.
Kevin Keegan had already won such accolades as the European
Footballer of the Year before joining Southampton, but he enjoyed good
success on a personal level in his two seasons with the Saints, too.
A diminutive but energetic and skilful centre-forward, Keegan scored 26 league goals in 41 games in 1981-'82, helping Southampton to seventh place in the league, though they were in the top three at the turn of the year before a dip in form.
Keegan had good acceleration, was a smart finisher and, despite being relatively short, was good in the air.

His 21 goals in all competitions, 15 in the league, made him United's
top scorer that season, while he also scored his final two
international goals that year as well.
A clever and all-round second forward, Sheringham was a good link-up player as well as being exceptional in the air and a regular scorer of goals during his career.

Alan Shearer joined Newcastle for a world-record fee of £15
million in 1996 and immediately repaid them with a season of goals,
culminating in his second Player of the Year award.
Shearer hit 25 goals in 31 games that season, top scoring in the Premier League, though Newcastle only managed to finish in second place behind Manchester United.
It would actually be his most productive season for league goals in a Newcastle shirt, though he played for the team for a further nine seasons.
Playing in a right-sided attacking midfield role most of that season,
Gerrard had his best goalscoring season up to that point with 23 in all
competitions, helping his side to third in the Premier League and
winning the FA Cup.
His final goal in that season was, of course, a last-minute, long-range strike which secured a draw after 90 minutes before his side won the cup on penalties.
Cristiano Ronaldo picked up a clean sweep in 2006-07 when he won the
PFA Player of the Year, the Young Player of the Year and the Football
Writers' Association Player of the Year.
He hit 17 Premier League goals along the way and 23 in total, surpassing the 20 mark for the first time, as Manchester United also won the Premier League title.
After a couple of years of stylish play which at times lacked end product, Ronaldo proved himself the real deal this term with far greater consistency, athleticism and an all-round improving game to go with his already outstanding traits of on-the-ball skill

Gary Lineker won both the FWA and the PFA Player of the Year awards in '86, the first non-Liverpool player to do so.
The England striker was known for his unerring finishing ability, a real poacher of a centre-forward who could find spaces in tight penalty areas and who had the acceleration to gain a yard on his marker and score in half a second.
His 30 league goals in his only campaign for Everton made Lineker the
top scorer in the country, earning the Golden Boot, though honours just
evaded him as Everton finished as runners-up in both the league and the
FA Cup to Liverpool.

Gary Pallister won the Player of the Year award in 1992, making it three in four years for Manchester United players.
The tall central defender was almost unbeatable in the air but also possessed a good technique and passing range, was good at reading the game and formed the basis of Manchester United's early successful sides of the Premier League era.
In this final old Division One season, United finished second but with the best defensive record in the league, testament to Pallister's abilities.

David Ginola was the first Premier League-era player to win the
Footballer of the Year award for a club outside of the top four in the
final league table, with his Tottenham Hotspur team finishing 11th in
the 1998-99 season.
Ginola also won the FWA award, testament to his dazzling skills on the ball and extravagant wing play in an exciting but rather mediocre Spurs side.
Usually playing from the left side of midfield, Ginola was capable of great feats of individual play, dribbling past opponents at ease, while he also scored seven goals in all competitions that season as Spurs won the League Cup.

became the first Liverpool player to win the PFA Player of the Year
award since John Barnes in 1988 when he won the prize in 2006.

Norman Hunter was a ferocious, tough-tackling central defender who starred for Leeds United during the 1960s and '70s.
Coming off the back of a season in which his side had lost the European Cup final, Hunter won the first-ever PFA Players' Player of the Year award in '74. He helped his team to the First Division title that year, losing just five matches along the way in a 42-game season.
At a time when Merseyside football dominated the landscape of England's top league, Everton midfielder Peter Reid was in the form of his life as his side won both the First Division title and the European Cup Winners' Cup.
Only an FA Cup-final defeat prevented even more silverware being brought to Goodison Park.
Reid played as a holding midfielder, supporting his team-mates from deep with his tyrannical dominance in the centre of the park and no shortage of ability in his passing either.
Goalscoring midfielder David Platt combined tenacity and work
rate with an ability to make unstoppable runs into the penalty box from
deep, often coming up with key goals in matches and largely retaining an
impressive and consistent strike rate.

team as he scored 19 times from midfield.

Barrel-chested, moustachioed John Wark was a central midfielder
who made his name as an all-round player who was equally adept covering
at centre-back or playing as a primary attacking force from deep in
midfield.
In 1980-81 he struck a mammoth 36 goals from midfield, from just 40 matches, firing Ipswich to second place in the old Division One in England.
He did, however, see his goals rewarded with a winners' medal, too, as Ipswich won the UEFA Cup that season.
The Chelsea captain skippered his side to the league title as a key
part of a phenomenal defence; the Blues conceded just 15 goals all
season long, only six at home, finishing a hefty 12 points clear of
their nearest rivals. Committed, a true leader and an organiser, rock solid in the air and
fearless in ground duels, Terry was the warrior at the back upon whom
the title charge was built.

Ruud van Nistelrooy joined Manchester United at the start of
2001-02 and by the end of it was the league's second-top scorer and the
PFA Player of the Year.
The Dutch forward scored 23 goals in his debut campaign, netting multiple hat-tricks along the way, as United finished in third place, 10 points off the leaders.
A fearsome penalty-box striker, van Nistelrooy was a clinical and single-minded forward who thrived on service from wide areas, netting all kinds of goals and showing great consistency.

Robin van Persie's final season at Arsenal saw him score 30
goals, claiming the top-scorer award, while he also won the FWA Player
of the Year as well as the PFA version.
His injury problems behind him, van Persie's supreme technique and goalscoring ability came to the fore, hitting 37 in all competitions and helping Arsenal to a third-place finish.
The Dutch striker led the line alone, though his movement and capacity to drop deep and into channels meant he was far more than an out-and-out poacher, instead bringing lots to his team's link-up play and transition phases.

Arsenal finished second in 2002-03 season, unable to retain their
Premier League crown, but in Thierry Henry, they had one of the top
talents in world football.
The French forward combined blistering acceleration and great agility in possession with ever-improving finishing technique in an attack-minded outfit which was almost purpose-built to suit his attributes.
Henry ended the season with 24 league goals, 32 in all competitions, while his side also won the FA Cup that term. He also won the FWA award in the same season.

A fourth consecutive Manchester United player to win the PFA Players' Player of the Year award was Wayne Rooney in 2010. He also won the FWA prize.
Rooney top scored for United with 27 goals in the 2009-10 Premier League season, ending as the second-highest league scorer overall. United ended the season second in the table, though they did win the League Cup that season.
A fantastic all-round forward whether leading the line or as a second
striker, Rooney's technique and movement mark him out as one of the
best attackers in the English game, while his 34 goals in all
competitions is his joint-best to date.
Manchester United retained their Premier League crown in '94,
with Eric Cantona's performances in attack a key reason for their
success.

The French attacker became the first non-British or Irish player to
win the Player of the Year award, as he also scored twice in the FA Cup
final that year with United winning the double.
Cantona scored 18 in 34 games, and his creativity and intellect on the pitch were just as important factors as his goalscoring for the team.

Kenny Dalglish enjoyed a season
to remember in 1982-83; his Liverpool side won the First Division title,
he scored 18 league goals to record his best haul in four years, the
Reds won the League Cup trophy and Dalglish himself won the FWA Player of the Year as well as the PFA award.
A Scottish forward who was known for his elegance and technique on the ball as well as his vision and passing, Dalglish was regarded as Liverpool's best player in a team which won every major trophy going in the early '80s. Liverpool won the league by 11 points that season.

award, Roy Keane also won the FWA award in 2000 as he captained
Manchester United to another Premier League title.
A relentless and imposing figure in the centre of midfield, Keane could tackle, pass and carry the ball with equal ability; he was an influential leader on the park and brought a great mentality to the team overall.
Keane also scored 12 goals in all competitions that season, his best
return in his whole career and the only time he made it to double
figures.

In 1987-88 Liverpool won the league with perhaps the finest
attacking team the club has produced to win the championship. John
Barnes was a major part of that attack, with his pace and dribbling
skills down the left flank terrorising defences all season.
Barnes scored 15 times that season from the wing and produced far more goals for his centre-forward team-mates. Liverpool won the league and reached the FA Cup final, where they were beaten by Wimbledon, though there was no European football on offer for English clubs at that time.
The second overseas winner of the award was Arsenal's Dennis
Bergkamp, the Dutch forward who was awarded the Player of the Year in
1998.

16 Premier League goals helping Arsenal to the title. His team also won
the FA Cup that season, though Bergkamp missed the final through
injury. He also won the FWA award that season.
A great technical second striker with an eye for a pass, the Dutchman also scored his share of sublime and spectacular goals thanks to his ingenuity and close control.

Shearer scored a league-record 34 goals in 1994-95, albeit in a
42-game season, to finish as top scorer and Premier League winner as
Blackburn Rovers took the title on the final day of the season.
A powerful and direct striker, Shearer is regarded as one of the best English forwards of all time, with his ability to score from any range and with any part of his body.
He scored 37 in all competitions that season.
Last season's winner of the Player of the Year award was Gareth
Bale, his second such award, this time taking both PFA and FWA versions.
A powerful and direct striker, Shearer is regarded as one of the best English forwards of all time, with his ability to score from any range and with any part of his body.
He scored 37 in all competitions that season.
Bale was at his very best over the final third of the campaign,
scoring goals with incredible consistency to keep his side in the hunt
for a top-four finish, though they ended the season in fifth.
Tottenham's main man was played across the attacking-midfield line, even centrally at times, with his powerful running style seemingly impossible to defend against and his list of spectacular strikes growing by the week. Bale ended the season with 21 league goals, 26 in all competitions.

Ian Rush won the FWA Player of the Year award as well as the PFA
version in '84, meaning all three players to have achieved that feat up
until then had been Liverpool players.
No wonder Rush claimed the award that season: As well as his 47 goals in all competitions, Rush and his Liverpool side won a terrific treble of the First Division title, the League Cup and the European Cup.
The Welsh striker had great acceleration, scored goals with both feet
and played in a side which was arguably the best in the world at that
time.
Cristiano Ronaldo's finest season in a Manchester United shirt
came in 2007-08, at the end of which he won his second consecutive
Player of the Season award. He also won a second FWA award that year.
No wonder Rush claimed the award that season: As well as his 47 goals in all competitions, Rush and his Liverpool side won a terrific treble of the First Division title, the League Cup and the European Cup.
Manchester United won both the Premier League and the Champions

Ronaldo's exploits in front of goal a key reason for their success.
The Portuguese wide forward scored 31 goals in 34 league games, winning the Golden Boot, while he also totalled 42 in 49 games in all competitions, showcasing incredible consistency and resilience for the entire campaign.

Thierry Henry became the first player to win back-to-back PFA Player
of the Year awards in 2004 when he picked up his second such award with
Arsenal. He also won the FWA award again, having done so the previous
campaign too.
That was perhaps his and Arsenal's greatest season, with the "Invincibles" going the entire season unbeaten to win the Premier League.
Henry's pace and clinical edge were at their peak as he scored 39 goals in all competitions, 30 coming in the Premier League, and he won Europe's Golden Boot as well as being the top flight's top scorer in England. Henry also came second in the World Player of the Year award.
