Another award for Ronaldo

Manchester United winger Cristiano Ronaldo has been voted Football Writers' Footballer of the Year.
Ronaldo, who also won the the PFA Player of the Year award this week becomes only the second player to win the award in successive seasons since its introduction 60 years ago.
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres and goalkeeper David James of Portsmouth finished second and third respectively in the poll organised by the Football Writers Association.
Ronaldo follows in the footsteps of former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, who is the only other man to win the award in successive seasons. Henry was a back-to-back winner in 2003 and 2004 and also won in 2006.
"Ronaldo's award is no surprise after his brilliant form this season," said FWA Chairman Paul Hetherington. "He did not exactly get 100% of the vote, but from the moment voting started he moved to the front and stayed there.
"To score 38 goals in a season - so far - is an astonishing feat for a player who is essentially a winger. Given his age, he has the potential and ability to dominate this award for years in an unprecedented way."
