Former QPR Defender Makes PFA Championship Team of The Year

-
Congratulations to Danny Shittu! Linked on the messageboards to a return to QPR.

PFA - "...DAN SHITTU - WATFORD
"When you've had a fans' song penned in your honour, you know you're on the way. 'Chim chimeny, Chim chimeny Chim, chim, cher-oo, who needs Sol Campbell, when we've got Shittu? - the chant of the Watford fans say it all about the player who made his name at QPR."

Players Football Association (PFA) -
In addition to voting for the Players' Player and Young Player of the Year, PFA members are also asked to select their star performers in each of the four divisions of the best league in the world. Here are the players the pros have named in their Divisional Teams of the Year....

WAYNE HENNESSEY - WOLVES
For the second season in a row a Wolves' keeper has made the Championship team of the year with brilliant, young Welsh international Wayne Hennessey unseating Matthew Murray at club and divisional level alike. Made his name on loan at Stockport, and now doing likewise back at Molineux.

BRADLEY ORR - BRISTOL CITY
Bradley has had a few scrapes, on and off the field, during his career so far but, having established himself as first choice right back at Bristol City, he is enjoying his best footballing spell ever. City are on course for promotion and the former Newcastle player is now an award winner.

RYAN SHAWCROSS - STOKE CITY
Having spent the early part of his career at Manchester United and, having had a successful loan spell at Royal Antwerp in Belgium, Ryan is now making great strides with promotion-chasing Stoke City - and in January of this year he also celebrated winning his first England Under 21 cap.

DAN SHITTU - WATFORD
When you've had a fans' song penned in your honour, you know you're on the way. 'Chim chimeny, Chim chimeny Chim, chim, cher-oo, who needs Sol Campbell, when we've got Shittu? - the chant of the Watford fans say it all about the player who made his name at QPR.


PAUL ROBINSON - WEST BROM
Albion fans love 'Robbo' for his 'never-say-die' attitude and he has been a key figure in the Baggies' push for promotion after a £1.5million possible move to Wigan fell through. He has learned to add discipline to his endeavour and will be a big player during the run-in.

BRIAN HOWARD - BARNSLEY
Whatever he achieves in the rest of his career, Barnsley skipper Brian will always be remembered as the man who scored the dramatic late, winning goal at Anfield to beat Liverpool in the FA Cup, so setting up a quarter final showdown with Chelsea the Tykes also won.

MARVIN ELLIOTT - BRISTOL CITY
As a Millwall player, Marvin appeared in the 2004 FA Cup Final team that lost to Manchester United before moving on to Bristol City at the start of what is proving to be a memorable one for the Robins - he's chipped in with a few goals too!

LIAM LAWRENCE - STOKE CITY
Having started his career at Mansfield and developed his talent at Sunderland, Liam has become a firm favourite at the Britannia Stadium, winning over the fans with his committed, determined style - and an eye for scoring the odd spectacular goal or two.

JONATHAN GREENING - WEST BROM
The Albion midfielder has been described as 'a player who can spray the ball around like a quarterback' and that ability has made him a popular and influential figure at both West Brom and Middlesbrough, who he joined from Manchester United. A former England Under 21 international with 17 caps at that level.

RICARDO FULLER - STOKE CITY
Crystal Palace, Hearts (loan), Preston, Portsmouth, Southampton and Ipswich (loan) have all been on the Jamaican international's ports of call, but he seems pretty settled at Stoke where his goals have helped fire the club into promotion contention.

KEVIN PHILLIPS - WEST BROM
They don't call him 'Super Kev' for nothing and the former England striker who broke the Sunderland record for most post-war goals - including 30 in one Premier League season - is still doing the business for the Baggies with a goal-every-two-games ratio. - PFA
