Apart from his shocker at Old Trafford against Liverpool, it has to be the monster Vidic. I know his life is made easier by playing beside Rio but he was superb last term. Van Der Sar owes the clean sheet record to him.
Jo$shuwaa:
Steven Gerrard of Liverpool. I hate to admit it, but he had a truly inspirational season, captaining Liverpool to second place, whilst also motivating his team to produce a sustained challenge for the title. They missed him dearly when he was injured.
Robbie:
Stephen Ireland had a great season. He provided Manchester City with goals and assists, whilst also helping out defensively -- a genuine all-round team player. Having spent time on the fringes in recent seasons, he excelled within his new first team role. Despite the money, he has been there most influential player.
Jack:
Edwin Van Der Sar. When they're both fit, central defences don't get much better than Rio and Vidic, however Van Der Sar was the linchpin of United's terrific defensive run during in the spring. A run that would prove decisive in their title victory.
Hoxey:
You will probably laugh, and rightly so, but super Nicky Barmby delivered some important games that helped to keep Hull up and, to quote Mr Motson, "It had to be Nicky Barmby".
Tom:
Ronaldo. When at his best, he was the most talented attacking player in 2008/2009. He will be very difficult to replace. Man Utd will certainly be less likely to win the league without him, even if they spend their £80m very wisely.
