[Count Duckula]

A wonderful season in every sense of the word: so many outstanding contributions there are too many to mention. Every single player has come together this year to make true THE impossible dream.

Each and every player who has graced the Stanley squad this year will go down in history. Let's not forget Anthony Barry, Darren Randolph and Stuart Jones - all of whom are no longer at the club but are so deserved of a medal at the end of this momentous campaign.

So too the likes of Danny Alcock and Andrew Procter - the latter having battled back so admirably from injury; how it must of hurt him to miss out on Stanley's promotion year.

For all the plaudits the players will rightfully recieve come the final curtain, only one player for me will rise above the rest - a player who I have admired as a person and as a footballer every since I first came to Accrington. He always gives 110% (cliche I know but for him it is the ABSOLUTE truth), he never hides and rose above an early-season goal-drought to orchastrate the club's progression onthe field with his very presence - oh - and his goals too.

For me he is the greatest asset the football club possesses - a true leader in his own right, not to mention the most reliable and consistent striker in non-league football and always, always the first name on the teamsheet.

How fitting it would be for him to score the first goal back in the league. I pray for that moment - he deserves it.

My player of the year is
