Chris Marsden FG rewarded for his great season

Last Updated : 12-May-2002 by
Chris Marsden picked up his trophy for Supporters Player of The Season at half time in the game against Newcastle. Marsden was delighted with the award saying: "I picked up the trophy and looked at some of the names already on there - Mike Channon, Kevin Keegan, Alan Ball, Alan Shearer, Tim Flowers and of course Matthew Le Tissier. It is like a Who's Who of English football!"It would be some team if you put all the previous winners together in their prime. It would be a title-winning side - and to think that I am now there with them is mind-blowing.

"I won Players Player of the Year at Huddersfield but this is the first time I have won a fans' Player of the Season trophy and I cannot tell you how much it means to me.

"I had read on the web that I was supposedly out in front but I did not believe it until I got my hands on the trophy and it was such a thrill.

"I am really flattered especially when you think of all the other good players we have. It is a great honour but I would still swap it for playing today and getting three points!"
