Midfielder Jack Wilshere has won the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
Wilshere proves that more than most, having signed for Arsenal at just nine years old, making an impression among the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and Andrey Arshavin can not have been easy, but Wilshere has begun to look more and more like one of manager Arsène Wenger's first names on the team sheet.
Wilshere said: "It is my first full season and it is a massive award, especially from my fellow players, it is amazing.
"I am very proud to be the fifth recipient from Arsenal, it is good to keep this history going.
"Arsenal is a good club for bringing youngsters through and they keep proving it so I would like to thank the manager as well.
"I am delighted just to be in the team to win an award, so I have to keep it up now and hopefully we can win something this year."
