Hero. 

[ajthefox]

Well done Shinji. Big part of last season and it's great to see him get the recognition.

[Finnaldo]

Although we've hopefully turned a corner now, up until this point he was one of the few players this season to consistently leave with some credit. Well deserved Shinji!

[Gerard]

Nice one Shinji, he's one of those footballers you only fully appreciate when he's not in the team. We look so much better when he plays.

[shen]

Fantastic achievement for Shinji!!

Without wanting to sound disrespectful. I am however a little concerned for Asian football if he was indeed the best in the world last season....

[Koke]

Now we need Mahrez to be crowned African Footballer of the Year.

Well deserved. Our most dedicated player in calendar year 2016, in my opinion. Shinji is a tremendous asset.

[lifted*fox]

A top player for us and a thoroughly nice chap with patience and a good attitude. 

 

Puts some of these sulky, moody footballers to shame.

[foxy boxing]

Congratulations, fully deserved

[stripeyfox]

Well done Shinji. Great player for us with a fabulous attitude to boot.

 

Even if he does spend more time on his arse then the rest of the squad put together!

 

[MPH]

He is one of my favourite players. His work rate and desire to give his absolute best every time he is on the pitch... well we saw yesterday what can happen if more players play with the intensity he does. He deserves this recognition!

[GloverFox]

So totally deserved, a very hard working honest player with massive integrity ... not always fully appreciated for his efforts but hugely respected by me ... really good news this story.

[worthosoriginals]

Pleased for him, he's a good lad.

Could have sworn you used to hate him? Maybe it was somebody else?

 

On topic, well done Shinji, that's an absolute immense achievement to be named the best footballer on your continent!!!
