Chelsea supporters have voted Joe Cole the club's Player of the Year for 2008.

In the award ceremony at Stamford Bridge, Cole finished ahead of the other two nominated players Ricardo Carvalho and Michael Ballack.

It's the first time Cole has collected the accolade, which was presented by former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly.

In other awards, Juliano Belletti's 35-yard strike against Tottenham at the Bridge won Goal of the Season, sponsored by Chelsea TV, and handed over by all-time leading scorer Bobby Tambling.

The Samsung Players' Player Award, selected by the squad and coaches, went to Carvalho. Another former skipper and ex-Player of the Year, Ray Wilkins, plus Samsung's President Kim gave the honour to the Portuguese international.

The traditional Young Player of the Year award did not have a single winner. Instead, in recognition of the youth team's exciting run to the final of the FA Youth Cup, the entire Under 18s squad was honoured, the trophy collected by captain Nana Ofori Twumasi and manager Paul Clement.

A special achievement award was handed to Frank Lampard by former England rugby captain Lawrence Dallaglio in recognition of the midfielder's 100 Chelsea goals.

Former FA Cup and Cup Winners' Cup winner John Dempsey was the recipient of special recognition award from John Terry for his Chelsea career that spanned 1969 to 1978 and his work running a children's home since.

Joe Cole joins the following list of Player or the Year winners:

1967 Peter Bonetti
1968 Charlie Cooke
1969 David Webb
1970 John Hollins

My votes for Carvalho, his record is simply outstanding. Not quite sure how Ballack got nominated, could be for his efforts the last few weeks! Joys of a flawed system! Essien is the one I was shocked not to see on there though

Ah no disagreements, just the fact he missed hal the season and still gets nominated! Definately a lot better than last season, I remember watching him wondering why we bought him! On the same pitch as Sheva and Sheva was chasing back to tackle! Ballack watched him. This season though really like having a new player
