Don't know, because I've just got bored with the ever-predictable Premiership and not really followed it. It was more of universal observation, how attackers always get the attention of the instantaneous, individualist media. I'm too young to remember much of the pre-1992 world, but did this happen as much before Sky showed up? For example, did Dalglish get far more attention than say Hansen?
PFA players' player of the year nominations are...
- Thread starter Artie Fufkin
- Start date

Whilst I like to blame most things on Sky (or more broadly Murdoch), I thought that'd be the case. Looking back to the pre-1992 era, you hear more about Matthews, Greaves, Charlton, Best, Lineker, Gascoigne, etc, and further afield Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Puskas, etc, than you do of Wright, Moore, Mackay, Shilton, Banks, and Facchetti, Seeler, Yashin, Alberto, Koeman, Baresi, etc. I guess Sky and its partners have exacerbated the attackers-are-the-best-players comcept.

'there's only one choice' Yep, Fabregas all the way
Oddly enough he beat Ronaldo to the Young Players award, but wasn't even in contention for the main award.
Still, no surprises who did win...
