Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has been named as the Barclays Premiership Player of the Year.
Although it has been a below-par campaign for Arsene Wenger's Gunners in the league, the French striker's performances have remained exceptional.
Henry is currently the leading scorer in The Premiership with 24 goals and has bagged two or more goals no less than eight times this season.
The former Juventus striker surpassed Cliff Bastin's club goal-scoring record in October before becoming the first Gunner to net 200 goals for the North Londoners.
Henry still has a key part to play with Arsenal looking to pip Tottenham to fourth spot, despite trailing Martin Jol's side by one point going into the last game of the season.
"Henry has graced Arsenal's last season at Highbury in magnificent style," said Matt Appleby of the Barclays Awards Panel.
"He combines moments of brilliance and entertainment with match-winning goals. No wonder he was described by one opposition manager as 'unplayable'."
