\"Scott Parker pipped PFA Player of the Year Gareth Bale to the award<\/span> <\/p>\n

West Ham midfielder Scott Parker has been voted 2011 Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers’ Association.<\/p>\n

Parker, 30, topped the poll of journalists ahead of Tottenham winger Gareth Bale, who was last week named the Professional Footballers’ Association Player of the Year.<\/p>\n

Parker’s form this season earned him an international recall for England’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Wales in March.<\/p>\n

The former Chelsea and Newcastle player will receive the award on 12 May.<\/p>\n

Parker’s award is even more impressive considering West Ham’s lowly position and the poor season they have had – they head into their last five games of the campaign one off the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n

“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, chief football writer at The People.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
