Steven Gerrard has been voted the Football Association's England player of the year for the second time.
The Liverpool midfielder received the award from Sir Bobby Charlton at the FA England awards ceremony at St George's Park on Sunday night.
Gerrard, who had previously lifted the award in 2007, finished ahead of Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck, with Chelsea defender Ashley Cole third.

More than 180,000 votes were cast by supporters on TheFA.com website, a record for the player poll since David Beckham was crowned in 2003.
Left-back Stephanie Houghton was voted England women player of the year.
Houghton was a star performer for Team GB during the Olympic Games and scored the winner against Brazil.
Other notable award winners included the women's senior team, who were voted Club England team of the year.

The men's under-21 and women's under-23 players of the year awards went to Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson and Toni Duggan respectively.
The evening was part of The FA's 150th anniversary programme and celebrated the work of the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK.
FA chairman David Bernstein said: 'Clearly The FA England Awards is about much more than prize-giving and honouring those who have achieved.
'The elite level is the pinnacle of a pyramid that makes English football so special.
'They are the inspiration to over two million people regularly playing football in this country. All involved at every level deserve our recognition and respect.'
