Hey Bluey did you notice that Lescott is voted Everton's player of the year by both the fans and the players...

Victor Anichebe is voted as the young player of the year...

Quote:

Everton's versatile defender Joleon Lescott scooped an awards double on Wednesday, being voted the club's player of the year by Toffees' fans and also players' player of the year.

The 25-year-old has played in 53 games for Everton this season and notched an impressive nine goals.

Signed initially as a centre-back, the former Wolves player has spent much of the campaign filling in at left-back and has still managed to force his way into the England squad.

He made his England debut as a substitute against Estonia at Wembley in October, and has now won five caps.

Lescott started his career at Wolves, but having helped them win promotion to the top flight, spent that entire season out injured.

He signed for Everton for Ł5million in June 2006, and appeared in every league match of the following campaign.

And as Everton have embarked on an impressive UEFA Cup run and maintained a top-five position, Lescott has continued to prove himself a crucial part of manager David Moyes' squad.

Lescott picked up his award on Wednesday night at the club's third annual end of season awards dinner at Liverpool's St George's Hall.

Striker Victor Anichebe picked up the young player gong after proving a talisman for the Toffees in Europe.

No offence Immortal, but there is an Everton section. A topic for every teamsâ€™ Player of the Year would be better if you want to post this in the main section.

If you have one of these for every club you then would have 20 different topics, which may achieve only a few replies each - and a royal mess ensues.

Topics in transfers and rumours also about clubs which are in the premier?
