Landon Donovan has won his sixth Honda Player of the Year award as well as the Honda Player of the Decade.
The Honda Player of the Year award goes to the top U.S. national team player, and is voted by members of the American sports media. Donovan finished with 424 points in the voting, Tim Howard finished second with 267 points and Jozy Altidore finished third with 175 points.
Donovan had one of his strongest years of his national team career in 2009, playing a key role in the U.S. team’s qualification for the World Cup and second-place finish in the Confederations Cup. Donovan’s growing leadership qualities together with his involvement in so many U.S. national team goals helped him with the honor.
