Fans packed into Redz bar last evening for the first CTSA Player of the Year Awards. During a truly wonderful evening they shared laughter and beer with the first team squad and management team, and applauded our wonderful players as they took their prizes.

Manager Richie Barker addressed the audience at the start, “we have said before that League one  is predominantly northern based, so many thanks to all the away fans  for following us up and down the country, your time and effort is  very much appreciated.  Next I would like to thank the my staff  who I work with every day, I am a very demanding person.  Lastly I would  like to thank the players, they have been very receptive and haven’t been any  trouble on the training field, the group is probably the best I have ever worked  with and deserve all their success. Have a great summer and look forward to seeing you all next season.”

Vice chairman Matt Putland then introduced the awards with chairman Paul  presenting. All the results are at the bottom of this article.

After several count backs and by the narrowest of margins Nicky Adams took  the grand prize of CTSA Player of the year. His 15 second goal at home to Reading was perhaps the highlight of a stunning first season with us.

The ever popular goalkeeper Paul Jones picked up the Away Player of the year.  As Matt said, his save at MK Dons was like something from “The Matrix!”

Joe Walsh won the Young Player of the year, romping to success with 49% of the vote.

 The house went mad when Dannie B was revealed as the CTSA living legend  award winner. A worthy win which went down very well with the fans.

With loads of younger supporters in house CTFC staff made it a  memorable evening indeed. Everyone was in a celebratory mood and players  were very happy to sign shirts, programmes, photos , anything, and  happily chat away.  A brilliant end to a fantastic League One bow  !
