Re: -OFFICIAL-Website Player of the Year
It is so hard this season because it seems ages since we were on here whinging about Player A or Player B (Mostly after the Worcester & Stevenage games!) We 've had a brilliant 4 or 5 months which will culminate in Promotion for the third time in 5 years. It is testament to all at ASFC for a fantastic season & its very hard to pick out one player.
The goalkeeper situation was embaressing at times yet I reckon we have seen three of the best goalkeepers & the best since JAmo for cult image. Who can forget the rendition of Stay Now to Darren & Jonesy saying he's never seen fans like it! Robbie has & will always be one of the main reasons we are champions! Legend is too short a word
At the back we've been awesome from Welchy, to Leam Richardson, Cav they've all been immense.
In midfield the shining lights have been Ian Craney & Gary "nutmegged by me in the fans game" Roberts. Both will undoubtably, IMO, be offski in June but it was a pleasure. Ian Craney's dancing & Gary's Alcohol purchasing skills will be missed.
Up front, the man that strings it all together & is so honest it sometimes means he gets very little from the ref - Paul Mullin (The best thing to happen to ASFC since the Ormerod sell on clause & will only be bettered by the Clayton End Roof!) The man is so reliable, so strong, again a real Accy legend & obviously first name on the sheet.
That said, the man I believe to be player of the year, IMO is the guy who started with us as a boy. A man who is much maligned & sometimes ridiculed yet has been with us like Jimmy & John, from the start of the Coley Revolutio. A player who's game has come on in leaps & bounds yet is still young & still learning. A player who JC rates very highly & he obviously knows a player. A man with I believe has everything & only needs experience to go to the very top!
LAdies & Gentlemen (& Boggles!) I give you
Robert Williams (My Player of the Year)
PS I would personally like to take the opportunity to thank everybody at Accrington Stanley for this wonderful season. Players, fans, Management, BAckroom Staff (even Shultzy!) Groundsmen, Mascot, Bar staff, Coach Drivers the whole damn lot of you/us should be very proud! When the dust settles remember that we all had a hand in this little piece of history.
PPS & I don't just mean the fact we have won so many games, I mean th e whole experience this season has been A1! I love you all!
