The award is regarded by the players themselves as extremely prestigious, with Teddy Sheringham describing it in 2001 as 'the biggest personal award you can get in the game', and John Terry stating in 2005 that he considered it 'the ultimate accolade to be voted for by your fellow professionals whom you play against week-in and week-out'. A shortlist of nominees is published in April and the winner of the award, along with the winners of the PFA's other annual awards, is announced at a gala event in London.
