It's been a night to remember at the inaugural BBC Football Awards as England's finest young talent Declan Rice scooped the Young Player of the Year gong, pipping some of Scotland's most promising stars to the post. The 23-year-old West Ham midfielder is having a season for the ages, dominating the Premier League with his vision and tenacity – and this award is the icing on the cake!
Liverpool left-back Luke Shaw was mobbed by fans as he accepted the Fans' Player of the Year trophy, thanks to a landslide vote that saw him crowned the people's champion. The 29-year-old Reds ace has been instrumental in Jurgen Klopp's title-winning campaign, and his award is a testament to his commitment to the beautiful game.
Swansea City manager Stephen McInnes proved himself a master tactician by scooping the Championship Manager of the Year prize – beating off stiff competition from some of English football's top gaffers. The 56-year-old has led his side to a barnstorming finish in the Championship, and this award is a fitting tribute to his managerial prowess.
The BBC Football Awards are a new addition to the football calendar, but they've certainly made an instant impact – celebrating the best of English and Scottish football with style and panache. The star-studded ceremony was hosted by BBC Sport, with some of the biggest names in football attendance.
