When Football Daily woke up this morning to news that Manchester City duo Phil Foden and Khadija “Bunny” Shaw had been crowned the men’s and women’s players of the year at the PFA Awards, we immediately checked our calendar in order to figure out exactly how long we’d been asleep. With just one week of the Premier League season played and the Women’s Super League not due to start for another month, it seemed a bit premature to be handing out baubles eight months earlier than usual, so we’d clearly had a very long kip. Then, as the bleary fug of sleep cleared, it finally dawned on us that these were probably last season’s awards and Foden hasn’t become the first player in history to win the gong while playing for a team relegated to the Northern West Counties League with a record low tally of -85 points.
