Jordan Henderson was hailed for his "outstanding achievement" by Jurgen Klopp after picking up the Footballer of the Year award from the Football Writers' Association.
Liverpool's captain lifted the Premier League trophy on Wednesday and now has an individual honour to go alongside this season's team success.
England international Henderson, who has been out injured in recent weeks and will miss Sunday's season finale at Newcastle United, was urged by Klopp to "enjoy the moment".
The 30-year-old midfielder, who joined Liverpool from Sunderland in 2011, also led the team to Champions League glory last year.
