Bellamy: "It was a bit weird when I found out I had won. In my opinion I have had better years and not won it.
'Average' Bellamy Shocked At Award!
"This time I feel I have had quite an average year, but that is the way it works sometimes."
He made 132 appearances for Newcastle between 2001-5, scoring 42 goals. And now plays for West Ham.
