The Mohamed Salah–Thierry Henry ought to have kicked up a notch on Friday, May 9, as the Liverpool legend matched the Arsenal icon’s tally of three FWA Men’s Footballer of the Year triumphs.
The Egypt international had already been named the country’s best by prominent sports journalists at the end of the 2017-18 and 2021-22 campaigns, and he unsurprisingly took over 90% of the vote this time around.
On course for the greatest individual season the Premier League has ever seen, Salah has produced a monumental 28 goals and 18 assists in his top-flight outings this season, also leading the way in the race for the Golden Boot and Playmaker Award.
Only Salah and Henry have won the FWA Footballer of the Year award on three separate occasions, but how many names of other winners do you have stored away in your memory bank?
This is your time to test your knowledge, as Sports Mole challenges you to name every male winner of the FWA Footballer of the Year award since its inception.
