“It’s really cool to win, especially because it has been voted on by the players. It shows you that you worked really hard and you get what you worked for,” Salah said.
“I have my room with the trophies in a cabinet and I made sure I had another one. I always keep in place and just try to imagine that the trophies are going to come,” he said.
Kerr, on the other hand, topped the Women’s Super League this season and became the first Australian player to win the PFA Player’s Player of the Year award.
