Robin van Persie has been voted Footballer of the Year by the Football Writers' Association.
The Arsenal captain adds the journalists' honour to the Professional Footballers' Association award he was given at the weekend.
Van Persie has scored 27 Premier League goals this season - and 34 in total - after avoiding the kind of injuries which have hampered his eight-year Gunners career.
The Holland star beat second-placed Wayne Rooney to the writers' award by a landslide, with Rooney's Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes third ahead of Fulham's Clint Dempsey.
FWA chairman Steve Bates, chief football writer at The People, said: "Robin was the overwhelming choice of our members this season and deservedly so after a magnificent campaign for Arsenal.
"The considerable size of his majority in the votes cast by our members reflected the general view that he has been the season's most outstanding individual performer."
