Liverpool centre back Virgil van Dijk beat out Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling to win the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year award on Sunday night.
Often dominated by forward players Van Dijk became just the sixth defender to lift the trophy so since its inception in 1973.
Who are the other five you say? Well, I'm glad you asked.
Not just the first defender to win the peer-selected award, but the first player outright.
Hunter, an eventual World Cup-winner (having been part of the 1966 squad, and awarded a medal in 2007) was the heart and soul of the Leeds United side that won their second of three First Division titles with, err, 72 points.
