Bruno Guimaraes was crowned Fans' Footballer of the Year on Tuesday, scooping the prestigious award after a stellar 2022 for Newcastle United. The Brazilian wasted no time thanking his many supporters on social media after the announcement, admitting his love for the Magpies support base.
Thanks to the passionate Geordie faithful, Guimaraes won the Premier League award and scooped the Newcastle prize, beating Miguel Almiron, Kieran Trippier and Joelinton to the accolade - and it is hard to argue with the results.
Mohamed Salah has won the national award for two years running but has been below his lofty standards for Liverpool this term. Erling Haaland has set the Premier League alight since joining Manchester City but is yet to show he can continue this form over a 12-month period. Arsenal and England star Beth Mead picked up third-place for her WSL and international exploits with the Lionesses.
