PFA Player's Player of the Year: List of all winners

This award was first awarded in 1973-74

An annual award awarded to the player deemed the finest of the English football season is the PFA Men’s Players’ Player of the Year (sometimes known as the Players’ Player of the Year or just the Player of the Year).

The Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA), the players’ trade union, holds an annual poll to select the winner of the award. The award has been given out since the 1973–74 season. Erling Haaland of Manchester City is the current winner; he took home the trophy for the first time on August 29, 2023.

Norman Hunter, a defensive specialist for Leeds United, was the inaugural recipient of the honour. Only Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Kevin De Bruyne, Mark Hughes, Alan Shearer, and Mohamed Salah had taken home the prize twice as of 2023; additionally, only Henry, Ronaldo, and De Bruyne had won it in back-to-back seasons.

Only Shearer, who played for two separate teams, won both of his awards out of the seven. Young players are still eligible to compete for the senior title since there is a distinct Premier League PFA Young Player of the Year accolade. Three times, the same player has won both trophies for a period: Andy Grey in 1976–1977, Ronaldo in 2006–07, and Bale in 2012–13.
