Scott Parker has thanked West Ham United fans for helping him land a nomination for PFA Player of the Year.
Parker is one of seven players nominated alongside Blackpool midfielder Charlie Adam, Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale and playmaker Rafael van der Vaart, Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri, Manchester City's former Hammer of the Year-winning forward Carlos Tevez and Manchester United centre-back Nemanja Vidic.
"I think it's a great honour. Personally it's very pleasing for me and I'm absolutely buzzing about being nominated. It's been a tough season but things have gone quite well personally, so I'm really pleased with it," Parker told West Ham TV.
"It's very, very pleasing that my fellow professionals have voted for me and is probably the best thing about being nominated - that they appreciate me as a player. That's massive, really."
Parker also took the opportunity to thank the fans who have sent messages of support since the death of his father Mick last month.
"The only way I can say it is on camera, so I would like to say a big 'Thank you' for all the well wishes and support I've received over the last couple of weeks from the fans," he added. "The support from everyone around me has helped me out massively."
