Steven Gerrard is September’s PFA 2UP Fan’s Player of the month along with Kightly, Beckford and Thorne
The Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is September’s PFA 2UP Fan’s Player of the month. Even though the game has started late for Stevie G because of his injury,  the England international still managed to be in the second place in the Premier League table. Gerrard’s surprising strike in the first leg against PSV Eindhoven has proven of his performance returning to top form.
If we can recall, Liverpool’s club captain announced last September that Gerrard id only 70 to 80 percent fit from his groin injury but is already playing. Now that Gerrard is already backing at almost 100 percent to top form, Manchester must watch out.
Being the 16th Liverpool player who scored 100 goals for the club, Gerrard’s manager Rafa Benitez paid tribute to him and is expecting of him to continue and go for the 200 goals. Being one of the best offensive midfielder for the club, Gerrard is expected to give more score for them in the future.
According to the PFA deputy executive Mick McGuire, Gerrard is a man that needs not to be introduced. With this season, Gerrard had scored two goals in the Cahmpions League fixture versus Marseille. In addition, with their game versus Middlesbrough, Gerrard did a stunning shot from outside the penalty area. With these performances, Steven Gerrard is simply an excellent player.
Along with Gerrard, Michael Kightly got the fan’s player award in the championship. He, together with fellow wing wizard Matt Jarvis, became largely responsible for Wolves’ great start to the season.
However, it is very unfortunate for manager Mick McCarthy with his both star players Kightly and Jarvis who have both picked up hamstring injuries and will be missed badly, although Kightly will be out from the game not as long as with his pal.
Despite of being the most in demand player by a number of Premier League clubs during the summer, Kightly managed to sign a new four-year deal with Wolves and has already rewarded the team with eye-catching displays and goals with this season.
Another winner for this season is last year’s overall winner Jermaine Beckford is now the League One Player of the Month, again proving to be this season’s main man for Leeds.
According to the team’s boss, Jermaine produces a bit of magic in just a split second, which made them keep on emphasizing to Jermaine how far he can go and what more he can achieve.
For the last two years, Beckford was playing non-league football, during the last season he bagged over 20 goals, and manager Gary McAllister is hoping for Beckford to maintain such kind of performance.
Finally, Peter Thorne is awarded as the Fan’s Player of the month for League 2. Thorne at the age of 35 is still doing great fro his team Bradford, and did an impressive goal every two games ratio. Aside from Bradford, Thorne also did score goals consistently for his previous clubs like the Swindon, Cardiff, and Stoke and is still doing the same great things for the Bantams.

I am happy with Ronaldinho’s success. I have already seen him playing since 2002 at the FIFA World Cup and he is truly amazing. For those who are not familiar with him, he is a 28 year old footballer from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Ronaldo de Assis Moreira is Ronaldinho’s real name. Aside form playing for various teams, Ronaldinho is also a member of the Brazil National Team, wherein he contributed a lot for their bronze win over Belgium.
Ronaldinho’s Football career started out with the Gremio youth squad. Then in 1998 Copa Libertadores, is when he made his senior side debut. It was in 2001 that Arsenal F.C. expressed an interest in signing Ronaldinho. July 19, 2003 was the time when FC Barcelona acquired Ronaldinho for the amount of £21 million. After the acquisition, Ronaldinho made his team debut with a friendship game against A.C. Milan at the RFK Stadium in Washington D.C., wherein he did score one goal in a 2-0 victory. In 2004-05, Ronaldinho got his first league title as the FIFA World Player of the Year. After the 2004-05 season, Ronaldinho started to collect awards like his win as the inaugural FIFPro World Player of the Year in September 2005, which is an addition to being one of the players in the FIFPro World XI. Aside from that, he is also named as the European Footballer of the year, and also was the third-ever Brazilian Ballon d’Or winner. With 956 points, Ronaldinho was again named as the FIFA World Player of the year. In January 2007, for the third straight time, Ronaldinho was again named among the UEFA Team of the Year.
At present, when Ronaldinho joined the Italian giants A.C. Milan, he chooses 80 as his jersey number after discovering that 10 was already occupied by teammate Clarence Seedorf.
