Luis Suárez has been named the Professional Footballers'
Association player of the year for 2013-14, becoming the first non-European to
win the award, after an excellent season for Liverpool .
Suárez beat his club-mates Steven Gerrard and Daniel
Sturridge to the prize having scored 30 goals in the Premier League so far,
including two hat-tricks and four in one match, propelling Liverpool
to their best campaign in recent years and within striking distance of a first
title since 1990.
Suárez was voted in by members of the PFA ahead of Chelsea
An emotional Suárez dedicated the prize to his family and
team-mates, insisting that Liverpool
could still win the title this year. "The Premier
League is full of really great players and so it is a great honour when these
players recognise your work on the pitch," he said. "I always try my
best for the team and it is nice to get awards but really this is for my
team-mates and the staff at Liverpool because
without their help I wouldn't have this prize. This is for my team-mates and
staff and for my wife and children."
