Former Newcastle United and West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop has revealed he chose not to vote in the PFA Player of the Year awards from 1999.

Shaka, speaking to ESPN, says he decided to stop voting after the '99 Player of the Year went to Newcastle star David Ginola, a decision he described as "farcical".

The Trinidad & Tobago legend says his international teammate Dwight Yorke, then of Manchester United, deserved the award after his efforts in helping the Red Devils to the Treble.

Shaka admits he was unimpressed with the awarding to Ryan Giggs of this season's Player of the Year gong.

ABSOLUTELY SYMPATHETIC VOTING.
Somebody tell me what has Giggs done that none of the players in the list didnt do?? why are these
awards being distributed like sweet candies, Gerrard should be voted the best and how utterly stupid
is it to vote when theres half of the season left yet?

...I have a request, please make Gary Neville the next Fifa world player of the year, you see, he's 34
and hasnt bagged it yet..
