Arsenal's Robin Van Persie has claimed a double honor in England (telegraph.co.uk)
The Puddle would like to extend congratulations to Arsenal captain and Dutch International Robin Van Persie. RVP has claimed both player of the year awards in England, one voted on by the players and one voted on by football journalists.
Van Persie was given the PFA award on Sunday, and was announced as the winner of the FWA award on Tuesday. According to GiveMeFootball.com, the accomplishment isn't all that rare, and has happened 15 times in 32 years. Who are some other players who have pulled it off? Try Wayne Rooney, Kenny Dalglish, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Thierry Henry to name a few.
RVP has netted 27 goals for Arsenal this season, and some folks credit him with resurrecting the Gunners from their horrible start almost single handedly. He currently has them in 3rd place in the EPL, in Champions League position.
Congrats to Mr. Van Persie, and I'm sure all the Gunners fans are hoping they retain your services.
