Special achievements
One of only two players to have won both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and PFA Young Player of the Year awards in the same year, the other being Andy Gray in 1977.

Also won the PFA Fans' Player of the Year award, becoming the first player to win all three Professional Footballers Association awards in one season.

Only the third player in Premier League history to win back-to-back Barclays Player of the Month awards, and the first since the 1995-1996 season.

Only the second player in the history of English football to be named both the Football Writers' Footballer of the Year and PFA Players' Player of the Year in successive seasons.

Holds the Premier League record for most goals scored in one season by a midfielder, having scored 17 times during the 2006-2007 Premier League campaign. (Unofficially he has already broken this record since, as of 3rd May 2008, Ronaldo has scored 30 times in the 2007-2008 league campaign, only one behind the highest tally in a 38-game season. However, the official total will not be registered until the end of the season.)

One of only two players to feature in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year for the 2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 seasons, the other being Steven Gerrard.
