The top 15 players from each Football League division have been revealed following Sunday's Football League awards in Manchester.

Managers from the Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two were asked to rank their top five players in order from their respective leagues, with the scores added up to create the overall list.

Keeping in line with the awards ceremony at the weekend, the Sky Bet Player of the Year award winners from each division topped their respective lists from the manager vote.

In the Championship, Burnley's Andre Gray picked up the most votes, with fellow team-mates Joey Barton and Michael Keane also making the top 15. 

The only players to feature outside the current top four were Fulham's Ross McCormack, Brentford's Alan Judge - who came second and third respectively - and Fernando Forestieri from Sheffield Wednesday, with players from Middlesbrough, Brighton and Hull making up the rest of the group.
