We all feel Scott Parker is a worthy winner of the FWA's Footballer of the Year, having singlehandedly kept West Ham's survival hopes alive. So, West Ham midfielder Scott Parker is the Footballer of the Year as chosen by the Football Writers Association. True, Parker does not have the swagger of Wayne Rooney, the thrill of Cristiano Ronaldo, the grace of Thierry Henry, all former winners of the FWA award over the past decade. He does not possess the eye-catching talent and surging pace of Tottenham's Gareth Bale, who was the players' own choice for the PFA award. Yet if it is about influence and impact then it is difficult to disagree with the choice of Parker, who is the first West Ham player to win the accolade since England captain Bobby Moore in 1964. Like Moore, Parker has an uncanny ability to read a football match which allows him to operate with an economy of effort and makes up for the fact that he is not blessed with natural pace. Parker's influence is not in trophies won or goals scored, but rather it is of a decent Premier League midfielder making the most of his talents and putting his body and soul on the line for the cause. It has not been an excellent footballing season. But Parker's contribution has been exceptional. His award is justly deserved.

absolute nonsense he has played in side which is on the verge of being relegate despite paying higher wages than most teams in the division including spurs and everton yes he inspired a comeback against WBA WBA FFS not juventus in a CL semi or Bayern in a final Giggs deserves it more with his performance against WHU or Vidic for holding the defense and team together
and if Parker played for a North Eastern outfit he would not get a look in. How many of the hacks support the West Ham United. Good player but not worthy of this award in my opinion.
