One vote decided Leeds United’s Fans’ Footballer of the Year gong with Tyler Adams snatching the award from Illan Meslier with only four months of football under his belt. Rodrigo was only five votes back in third after the tightest race in the prize’s short history.
LeedsLive have been asking supporters to vote for their 2022 footballer of the year across the past few weeks with Adams, Meslier, Rodrigo and Raphinha shortlisted. While the Brazilian was handicapped by his exit and a half-year dominated by a relegation fight, Adams only had a third of the year to turn the tide in his favour.
The USA international took 27.5 per cent of the vote, while Meslier was one vote back at 27.3 per cent. Rodrigo claimed 26.2 per cent and Raphinha made up the final 19 per cent.
