Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney has been named England’s Player of the Year for the second consecutive time, reports The FA.

The 30-year-old has now won the Player of the Year award four times. This time round, he garnered 37 percent of all votes cast. Despite performing poorly for his club, Manchester United, in 2015, the former Everton man managed to score five goals in his eight appearances for his country the same year. This includes his record-breaking penalty against Switzerland, which propelled him past Sir Bobby Charlton’s record to eventually become England’s all-time goal scorer

Meanwhile, Stoke City’s goalkeeper Jack Butland (below) took the Under-21s Player of the Year award after garnering 54 percent of the votes cast.

Do you honestly believe in what you wrote ? What comments exactly , can you please find me source i can't recall it ?

I look at it this way . They are footballers who were having a good time and got drunk . It is not their grief to mourn about . Should we mourn about so many lives lost in every continent of the world ? Should we all cancel our plans for the evening every night then out respect for lost people ? Just this past year there have been enough incidents around the world to shame every footballer for having a good time in their private time , by your logic . Do you think America is special ? I say this , you should let it go because there is nothing to be offended about . Life goes on , tragedies happen , he had nothing to do with it , he was young and enjoying his life .

And Come on , not racist though . Because Ferdinand said so and with United's power in FA they decided Terry is guilty . A man who literally happily friend with many african players at the club .

I don't believe neither Ferdinand brothers , it is written BS all over their face .Funny thing though no one accused Ferdinand of racism when he called Ashley Cole "Choc ice " . I will never also believe that Suarez was racist because Evra said so . Need more prove than just saying .

BTW when Mikel accused Cluttenburg of racist attitude and comments towards him things were cleared right away ! That is FA for you !

How do you know if Suarez and Costa are not great people ? Exactly how ? You sunflash may have one face at footy forums but in life you might be back stabbing racist narcissist. I don't know you in life , but I will make that judgment just because of few comments you made here and there . This is example for you to see your logic that you apply to footballers .

@Marcus, lol you do know that JT was in the same squad with Rooney playing that game against Portugal right? Here's the thing. Rooney has been taking nonstop crap from England fans for such a long time. Every time England perform their pathetic usual self in a major tournament, he is the one who is readily made an scapegoat. Despite winning trophies after trophies with United in the past decade, England fans still don't understand that you can't win with one man. In fact, JT should be happy that he got to play alongside a legend elect like Rooney, because then everyone would know how garbage he was for England as well. 2015 doesn't end in May. JT's defending has been pathetic, even Mourinho thought so substituting him in the middle of the game against City. so Rooney, like I said, wins by default despite not playing well. He has hit milestones that JT could only dream of.

@Marcus:

It would be akin to me joking about the Paris attacks in our little fourm thread about it. Not classy, not cool, and not right. It would certainly reduce people's respect of me, which is exactly what happened to Terry.

Towards the end of last season, Terry suggested he could move to MLS. Every American fan I know stood and yelled against it. There's a reason for that. In the end he didn't even get any offers from clubs, and although it's probably because he wanted too much money for a 30+ year old, I'd like to think that the reaction of the fan bases was part of it. I would be very surprised if he ever played on this continent.

In the end though, it doesn't matter what you and I think. Terry was disciplined not only by the FA for racist comments and the 911 incident, but I believe by Chelsea as well. If your own manager or board is willing to prevent one of their best players from taking the pitch, it says a lot.

I get that your Chelsea homerism is strong, but you can surely see why the FA doesn't hold him in as high a light as other English players, which explains the "unfair treatment" you accuse them of giving him.

I thought we were discussing football and not political views.
Even the award has the title England player of the year if it was English athlete with the personality of the year I would take all the above much more seriously. Last but not least for the love of god why all famous players just retire on MLS for more money? I hope Terry retires wearing the blue shirt even at our bench. If other people can't show appreciation even a little of it towards this guy with such a career why should he bother going anywhere else.

P.S. I disliked his comments myself but there is a difference between personality and football.
