1. Hazard
2. Kane
3. Terry

Eden Hazard has been voted the 2015 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association.

The Chelsea midfielder topped the poll of more than 300 journalists with 53% of the vote, comfortably ahead of the Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane, with his Chelsea team-mate and captain John Terry third.

The 24-year-old Belgium playmaker has scored 20 goals in all competitions so far this season and created many more as José Mourinho’s side secured a first Premier League title since 2009-10.

Hazard, who also won the Professional Footballers Association’s player of the year award last month, will be honoured with the FWA accolade, which has been running since 1948, at a gala dinner in London on 21 May.

The FWA chairman Andy Dunn, of the Sunday Mirror, said: “The list of truly world class players on the Football Writers’ Association roll of honour is a long one and Eden Hazard is a worthy addition. A creator, a goalscorer and the hardest of workers, Hazard has been a constant source of threat for the Barclays Premier League champions.

“But it is not just his trickery, his pace, his artistry and his marksmanship that make Hazard such an invaluable component of José Mourinho’s Chelsea squad, it is his durability. Hazard has started all 36 Premier League matches and, considering the particularly close attention he receives from opponents, that is a feat in itself.”

As well as Hazard and Terry, the Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, their defender Branislav Ivanovic and Thibaut Courtois also featured in the FWA’s top 10.

The other players to receive votes were Alexis Sánchez of Arsenal, the Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, the Manchester City forward Sergio Agüeroand Leicester City’s Esteban Cambiasso.

Aguero probably picked up one vote from Stuart Brennan.

Kind of says it all about London-centric journalism when they rate five Chelsea players above Aguero.

Amazingly, last year, the year we did the double, the top 3 were

1. Racist Cannibal
2. Born Slippy
3. Yaya

The year we beat united to the title in the most amazing title race ever!!! Arsenals Van Pursestrings won it, I know we are all paranoid and there is no agenda!!

[carl_feedthegoat]

Nope...no agenda.

[bayblue]

Don't even think there is an agenda. Just ignorance and laziness. Most of the voters live down south and the only northern teams they know are the two who were dominant when they were growing up.
More fool them ...

Then it can't be taken seriously!

[Beefymcfc]

It's just a piss-up for the old slags of tabloid journalism. We wouldn't get a shout if we won the quadruple, the sycophantic cunts!

[City64]

Slugs !

[Slim]

How foolish is Aguero making all these awards look at the moment.

[branny]

When he puts a full season in they'll have to take notice.

[Im_Spartacus]

For anyone local, there's a few journos including Neil Custis and Stuart Brennan attending the P&W supporters club meeting this week. I expect this will be a big topic of conversation

Read Jason Burt on De Gea being given sympathy on his desire to return home. spinning cunts and all including the cunts above closest scum fans, who disrespect City hourly. It would be nice for some blue to point this out to Custis and his bitter brother.
