English FA Review of England s Best of the Year: Rooney was elected the most 4 times

October 2: Bellingham was named the English men's adult team Player of the Year in the 2024-25 season, and the FA also took this opportunity to review the winners of the past.

The midfielder of Real Madrid and the Three Lions was elected by fans and became the most outstanding male football player last season, with Rice ranked second and Harry Kane ranked third.

This is the first time Bellingham has won the award, and he has also become the second player to win the award during his non-English club since Bayern Munich's Hargreaves in 2006.

22-year-old Bellingham made eight appearances for England during the season cycle. During this period, the Three Lions won the UEFA qualifying for the UEFA qualifying for the UEFA World Cup last fall under interim head coach Lee Casley, and then began the 2026 FIFA World Cup European qualifiers in March and June under new head coach Tuchel.

Bellingham scored a goal at Wembley Stadium last October and was named Player of the All-American Player in November's 5-0 victory over Ireland.

Bellingham's creativity was also shown last season, giving away an unforgettable assist against Albania in March, helping Skelly score his England debut and adding two more assists to Wembley's match against Ireland.
