    I'm pretty sure we haven't.

    Could change this season. If we were casting the votes now then surely JCR would come out on top. And Darren Moore must also be in the reckoning.

    It must have been nigh-on the first time all season that JCR didn't get man of the match yesterday. Some of them have been laughable mind.

    The top 3 for me as it stands would be JCR, Moore, and Souza. So theres a good chance.

    Did Bruce Dyer not win it in the season he scored 15ish goals? Not sure.

    Dyer did twice according to official website.

    Bruce Dyer was the last to win successive Player Of The Year awards when he picked up the Boylin Trophy in 2002 and 2003.

    Yes, he did

    Totally forgot about Dyer.

    That sort of makes my post a total waste of time.

    Wouldn't it be a bit patronising, and possibly racist to have a seperate award just for the balck players though?

    I wasn't suggesting anything of the sort
