Player of the Season

Joleon Lescott is Everton's Player of the Season.

The defender has been a model of consistency this term and was presented with the award at a glamorous awards ceremony at St George's Hall on Wednesday.

He had already been named Players' Player of the Season by his teammates.

Users of evertonfc.com voted in their thousands, with former Wolves man Lescott coming out on top.

Always reliable at the back, Lescott has put in equally commanding displays at both centre back and left back this season.

But perhaps the most eye-catching factor has been the nine goals he has contributed this term.

Often scored at key times in key games, Lescott's tally is the best of any Premier League defender.

It must also be noted that Lescott has played in every single game so far this term as well as gaining recognition with England.

Lescott, who won the Players' Player award last season, exclusively told evertonTV: "I got the Players' Player prize last season but to get the award from the fans this year is fantastic. 

"It is a great privilege and I am sure the awards will take pride of place at my parents' house - they will be looking to get hold of them.

"It has been a good season for me, but it has been a good season for the whole team and it is all about the team here at Everton. They are a great bunch of lads."
