Young Player of the Year
Ronaldo, Torres and Fabregas, three more players are in the running for the young player prize. The Chief Executive of PFA Gordon Taylor gives his verdict on the contenders
Gabriel Agbonlahor from Aston Villa - he is such a direct player with pace to burn and, whilst he can lead the line, he will gallop onto through balls all day long. He has made great progress and, for the sake of club and country, we hope he continues to develop.
Micah Richards from Manchester City - A fantastic player, Micah is a magnificent young man with natural ability and athleticism. Progressed to international level at a very young age and he will be a regular fixture in the England team for years to come.
Ashley Young from Aston Villa - Like Gabby Agbonlahor, Ashley is benefiting from working under such a good manager in Martin O'Neill whose decision to splash out �10million might have been viewed as a gamble at the time. In fact, it was a very shrewd piece of business.
