Last updated : 21 April 2006 By Ed

Notlob's Jay-Jay Okocha has tipped Wayne Rooney to win the Player of the Year award.

He said: "Wayne is a great player - I love to watch him. He plays from the heart - you do not see that from many players.

"He would be my choice as player of the year. Considering he is so young and has played the season under so much pressure, it is remarkable he has come out on top.

"He can only get better."
