Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana has been named as the Vauxhall England Player of the Year 2016.
The 28-year-old appeared at Euro 2016 with England and he scored three times in 10 appearances for the Three Lions.
360 GP understands that the the England Supporters Club, with 39 per cent of those polled choosing Lallana, ahead of Jamie Vardy (12 per cent) and Wayne Rooney (eight per cent).
"This award is a huge honour,” Lallana told TheFA.com .
"The last three winners were Rooney (2015), Rooney (2014) and Steven Gerrard (2012) so that just goes to show what a great achievement this is.
"Things have been going well this season for my club so that always helps. When you're playing well for your club then hopefully you can transmit your form into the national team and help out.
"That's what has been happening but I don't want that to be for just one season – I want to continue that for as long as possible.
"Off the back of a disappointing year for England as a whole, I'll be looking to definitely improve in 2017 and hopefully we can build on how it has started under Gareth Southgate, as there have been plenty of positives."
