There were some exceptional performances over the Premier League weekend, and here are the players and the football boots that produced such inspiring displays...

XABI ALONSO

adidas adiPure II football boots

Midfielder Alonso is probably Liverpool's player of the season. At the heart of every move, the playmaker opts for the comfort and touch provided by the adidas adiPure football boots.

NICOLAS ANELKA

Puma v1.08 football boots

Anelka has had that boost a new pair of football boots brings to your game, by rediscovering his goal scoring form since switching to the camouflage Puma v1.08 football boots.

RYAN GIGGS

Reebok Sprintfit Lite Pro football boots

The newly crowned PFA player of the year is flying the flag for Reebok football boots, and Giggs keeps turning in the perfromances wearing Reebok's lightweight Sprintfit speed boots.

STEVEN PIENAAR

adidas F50.9 football boots

South African star Pienaar was discovered and given a chance by David Moyes after going undetected by the big clubs. At his creative and inspirational best, the Everton player is wearing the same football boots as Messi, Robben, Adebayor and Villa!

NICKLAS BENDTNER

Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots

The sign of a good player is someone who can take the fans abuse, yet still go onto the pitch and perform. Bendtner has had his critics, but turned in a great performance with two goals from Nike Vapor Superfly football boots.

Football News - PFA Player & Team of the year - 27/04/09

Manchester United's Ryan Giggs has been voted Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year, after a season wearing Reebok Sprintfit Lite Pro football boots. Giggs was the only Reebok player to be voted amongst the eleven players in the team of the year, which also contained four Nike players, three adidas, two Puma and one Lotto football boots wearer.

Long term Reebok football boots wearer Giggs won the PFA player of the year award for the first time in his career, despite performing consistantly for the last 17 years! However, Giggs has come in for some criticism after only starting 12 Premier League games, but in his defence we found this quote from Welsh legend Neville Southall: "Ryan is a Rolls Royce footballer and you don't take your Rolls Royce for a drive everyday....You only take it out of the garage for special occasions"!

The Sprintift Lite Pro football boots Giggs is currently playing in benefit from a teijin microfibre upper and are made from a one-piece upper material, the same as a Nike Vapor.

The football boots with the best representation in the PFA team of the year was the Nike T90 Laser II football boots, with Fernando Torres, Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand. Interestingly, despite the Laser featuring Nike's ShotShield technology both Evra and Ferdinand are defenders, which is a testament to the comfort and upper performance of the Nike Laser.

Along with the three Nike Laser football boots, there was Gerrard's adidas Predators and Vidic's Puma v-Konstrukts which meant there were five power football boots in the team of the year. Following the power football boots was speed football boots with four players thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, Anelka, Giggs and Young.
