West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker was named as 2011 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers Association on Friday.Parker topped the poll ahead of Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale, who last week won the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year Award.
"Scott Parker has been so consistent this season with his performances in a West Ham team battling for Barclays Premier League survival and as such has forced himself back into the England national set-up," said FWA chairman Steve Bates.
"He has been an inspirational figure for the Irons and hopefully his professionalism will be rewarded with West Ham staying up at the end of the season.
"In what was one of the tightest votes of recent seasons, Scott is certainly a worthy winner and follows in the footsteps of a long line of superb footballers who have been given this prestigious honour."
