Phillips wins Championship award
-
West Brom's Kevin Phillips, Leeds' Jermaine Beckford and MK Dons' Keith Andrews were the divisional winners at Sunday's Football League Awards.
Baggies striker Phillips says he is determined to have a final crack at life in the Premier League after being named the best player in the Championship.
The 34-year-old was crowned as the top star outside the top flight, having hit 17 goals for Tony Mowbray's side already this season.
Albion lie in fourth place after Saturday's 3-0 home win over Plymouth Argyle, and Phillips admits promotion is the only thing on his mind.
He said: "Of course I want another crack at the Premier League.
"I still feel that I can do a job but promotion would mean everything to this club.
"Financially it would be tremendous and the fans deserve to see us in the top flight again.
"There are bound to be a few twists and turns yet and I am confident that it will go down to the last game before anything is decided."
