The Football Writers' Association (the FWA) is an association of England football journalists and correspondents writing for newspapers and agencies, founded in 1947.
Every year the FWA presents the Footballer of the Year award to the best player of the year, and the Tribute Award award to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the game. The main award, the Footballer of the Year, is seen as one of the two most prestigious individual prizes in English football, alongside the PFA Players' Player of the Year award.
Famous quotes containing the words football and/or association:
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“In this great association we know no North, no South, no East, no West. This has been our pride for all these years. We have no political party. We never have inquired what anybody’s religion is. All we ever have asked is simply, “Do you believe in perfect equality for women?” This is the one article in our creed.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
