Chelsea's Eden Hazard has won a major individual award in six of thelast seven seasons

Eden Hazard and Harry Kane were the big winners at the PFA Player of the Year awards ceremony on Sunday night.

For Kane, this is his first individual trophy after an outstanding breakout season which has seen him become the first Spurs player to score 30 goals in a single campaign.
It was more standard fare for Hazard.
The outstanding player for Chelsea in what will be their first Premier League title win in five years, Hazard is no stranger to individual accolades.
In his seven full professional seasons as a first team player Hazard has astonishingly picked up a personal gong in SIX of them.
After making a handful of appearances for Lille in 2007-2008, his debut campaign, he picked up back-to-back Young Player of the Year awards from the UNFP in 2009 and 2010.
He achieved the same feat with the senior award in 2011 and 2012, the year in which Lille won a double and Chelsea won a bidding war for Hazard’s signature.
His first year in England was the only one of his career to end without individual acclaim but he did earn himself a place in the PFA Team of the Year.
Last year Hazard won the YPOTY award before stepping up to be voted as the best player in the league. The next step for the Belgian is the Ballon d’Or.
