player in the Premier League era to win the award

Liverpool striker and Premier League
top scorer Luis Suarez has been
named the PFA Player of the Year.
The Uruguay international has netted
30 league goals this season to lead
the division's scoring charts and fire
Liverpool towards what could be a first league title in 24 years.
With two games remaining this term, Suarez still has the chance to
equal, or even better, Cristiano Ronaldo and Alan Shearer's joint
record of 31 goals in a 38-game season.
In addition to his monumental goal haul, the former Ajax frontman
has registered 12 assists – the most in the Premier League.
Suarez's award cements an incredible turnaround in affection for the
27-year-old, who was booed on two occasions during last year's
PFA ceremony.
He began the campaign by serving the remainder of a 10-game
suspension for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic, which followed a
race row involving Manchester United's Patrice Evra that also
produced a lengthy ban.
But Suarez has put past controversies firmly behind him to light up
English football and become only the second Liverpool player to be
crowned Player of the Year in the Premier League era.
