Hammers ace and Spurs youngster win Welsh prizes
Craig Bellamy has been named as the Wales footballer of the year, with Gareth Bale winning the young player award.
The West Ham striker who took over as national captain from the retired Ryan Giggs was honoured at the Football Association of Wales presentation dinner in Cardiff.
Bellamy is currently undergoing intensive treatment at his club after a recurrence of a hernia injury and has been ruled out of the squad's forthcoming Euro 2008 qualifiers against the Republic of Ireland and Germany Gareth Bale, was also unable to attend to collect his young player of the year award as he is recovering from injury which also rules him out of the Ireland and Germany games.
Cardiff midfielder Joe Ledley picked up the clubman of the year award, having been ever-present for the Championship club last season.
Wales manager John Toshack said: "It is a shame Craig and Gareth could not receive their awards; they have both been excellent for me and Wales over the last 12 months."
