Gareth Bale wins PFA Player of Year and Young Player awards
Tottenham's winger, Gareth Bale has been named Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year. He becomes only the third player to win both awards in the same season.
"It's a massive honour," said the 23-year-old. "To be voted by your peers is one of the biggest things in the game."
Bale fought off competition from Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Robin van Persie of Manchester United to win the prestigious main award.
Suarez, currently serving a 10-match suspension for biting, and Van Persie were named in the Premier League team of the year. Suarez's name was twice booed by an audience largely consisting of footballers during the ceremony in London.
