Liverpool Player of the Season Awards

Since the introduction of the awards dinner, the awards have been presented after the end of the Premier League season, usually at the start of May but held at any point during the month. The event is open to staff and fans, who may buy tickets on the club website, and has been held at a number of prominent venues, a list of which is provided below:

The trophies have had a number of designs – the 2012–13 award was named 'Standard Chartered Player of the Season' for sponsorship reasons and was in the design of the Standard Chartered logo accordingly.[3] Since this, the trophies have taken the form of an opaque circle within a hollow circle emblazoned with the Liverpool logo.[4]

The Fans' Player of the season is determined through a vote on the LFC website in which 5 candidates are nominated by the club. Fans are then free to vote for their player of choice. The player with the greatest number of votes wins the award. This award has been presented from 2001 onward.

Mohamed Salah has been named Liverpool Men's Player of the Season three times, the most by a non-British player.

The Players' player of the year award is given to the player at the club with the greatest number of votes from teammates. This award has been presented from the 2013–14 season onwards. However, in every year both awards have been presented, they have both gone to the same player.

Similarly to the men's award, a player of the season is chosen by both the fans and the players and separate awards are granted depending on the result of each vote. This award has been part of the awards night from the end of the 2013–14 season, although the players' player award has only been presented from the end of the 2017–18 season. A Young Player of the year also is granted to the best 'young' player on the team.
