Kalvin Phillips has been voted as your Fans' Footballer of the Year after an unforgettable 2020 for the Leeds United midfielder.
The Thorp Arch graduate has been at the front and centre of Marcelo Bielsa's masterplan over the past two-and-a-half years and has achieved two life-long goals in 2020.
In July, Phillips' dream of leading Leeds United back to the Premier League following a 16-year absence was realised when Bielsa's side eased to the Championship title, ending up ten points clear of their nearest rivals.
Leeds-born Phillips was fittingly front and centre of the celebrations and was vindicated for turning down the chance to leave his boyhood side and move to the Premier League a year earlier.
An England debut followed in September when Gareth Southgate awarded Phillips his first England cap in a goalless draw against Denmark. Phillips has kept his place in the England set-up and will be hoping to be a part of the Three Lions' European Championship squad when the rearranged tournament finally takes place next summer.
A Premier League bow soon followed his international debut and Phillips has not missed a beat in stepping up into a world class competition with the Whites.
Phillips has consistently turned in excellent performances for Leeds United under Bielsa, setting new standards for himself over the past three seasons, whether that is in breaking up play or launching attacks with his pinpoint passing to the flanks. A look at Leeds' results and performances when he is missing will often show just how key Phillips is to this Leeds side.
A giant city centre mural of Phillips was unveiled last month, showing just what he means to fans in his home city.
Phillips has pipped his Elland Road team-mates Stuart Dallas, Mateusz Klich and Luke Ayling to the award, which saw LeedsLive readers vote in their thousands.
Kalvin Phillips is the heart and soul of a Leeds United side that has connected with fans in a manner not seen for a generation - and there could not be a more worth winner of LeedsLive's inaugural Fans' Footballer of the Year Award.
Well done Kalvin - and here's to many more seasons at the in the Leeds United engine room.
