“I’m delighted to be the NRW Footballer of the Year for 2021. The award will have a special place at my home,” said Terodde. “I would like to thank all the fans that voted for me and supported me,” added the attacker who scored his 154th second-division goal in the away game at Werder Bremen on 20th November to break Dieter Schatzschneider’s all-time record. The award has gone to a Schalke player for the sixth time. Manuel Neuer won it in back-to-back years in 2009 and 2010, whilst Leroy Sané, Benedikt Höwedes and Leon Goretzka were all awarded with it in consecutive years between 2015 and 2017.

The award will have a special place at my home.
