Player of the Season: Jamie Carragher (51,115 votes)
- Not too surprising a choice, although rather surprising that he had almost 4 times the votes as second place...Steven Gerrard!
Young Player of the Season: Xabi Alonso (47,216 votes)
- A pretty obvious choice in my book, although when you consider that Milan Baros and Djibril Cisse are also in this group, it's hard to see how he won by so many votes: almost eight times as many as second place Stephen Warnock, who just beat out a worthy Neil Mellor, while Baros and Cisse were placed inextricably in 4th and 6th places respectively.
Most Improved Player: Jamie Carragher (24,707 votes)
- Presumably voted for by a vast majority that didn't realise that Carra's been supurb for a few seasons now! Biscan was (a more logical choice) came second and Traore an obvious candidate came third.
Best Newcomer: Xabi Alonso (42,822 votes)
- Only a few thousand short of the total of votes that he won young plave of the season with, while Luis Garcia came seconds with about two-thirds of Alonso's total, everyone else was a distant 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.
Best Goalkeeper: Jerzy Dudek (66,551 votes)
- In a category with only five choices, where one was injured for most of the time one didn't join us 'til January (as a "one for the future") and the other two are never given a look in for a game - hard decision, eh!?
Best Defender: Jamie Carragher (65,739 votes)
- Well he's the best player for the season, it would be a little strange if he wasn't the best defender! Towering over second place Hyypia with more than seventeen times the votes. Riise came third, not bad for a players who's been in midfield for the vast majority of the season!
Best Midfielder: Steven Gerrard (56,561 votes)
- Not really a hugh shocker, but suprising that SG garnered almost seven times the votes of second place and the very impressive Alonso! Votes were collected before the Champions League Final, otherwise I'm sure that Hamann would've gotten more votes and Smicer improved on 7th place and in doing so would have placed above Kewell and possibly Biscan.
Best Striker: Milan Baros (44,372 votes)
- Again as with the keepers, one was injured for the vast majority of the season, another was only signed in January and another (Neil Mellor) although having great moments throughout the season is not really up to it. Having said all that Baros is a class act, all he needs to do now is lift his attitude up to the level of his talent and then hopefully take us on to a better run this season.
Best Passer: Xabi Alonso (41,175 votes)
- With nearly double the votes of second placed Gerrard, Alonso has shown us what LFC have been missing since the likes of Redknapp...or even Molby!
Most Inspirational Player: Steven Gerrard (42,752 votes)
- Only suprise here is that it isn't a much more closely contested thing between SG and Carra!
Cult Hero: Steven Gerrard (21,678 votes)
- A far more logical result as SG just edges out Carra! Biscan is a deserved third place, while Dudek bizarely comes in 4th (I'm sure they concluded these awards before the Champions League Final!)
Reserve Team Player: Zak Whitbread (16,842 votes)
Academy Team Player: Ryan Wilkie (3,925 votes)
Goal of the Season: Luis Garcia (22,271 votes)
- Luis Garcia scores with a sublime left footed strike from 30-yards giving the world's most expensive keeper Buffon (and Serie A champions Juventus) absolutely no chance.
Performance of the Season: AC Milan (40,375 votes)
- The top ten .contains 4 games against English opposition, but only two of the ten were games outside of the Champions League. That famous night in Instanpool obviously won outright, while the home tie against Juventus and the amazing game that started it all at home to Olymiacos came third. The amazingly dramatic win against Arsenal at Anfield, was the only Premiership game (coming fourth) before a slew of Champions League games. LFC's home game to Everton came 10th.
Best Anfield Atmosphere: Chelsea - CL SF (51,513)
Best Away Atmosphere: Instanpool (29, 120)
