Holland TWTD Player of the Decade - Ipswich Town News

Former skipper Matt Holland has won TWTD’s Player of the Decade Award after polling 34% of more than 800 votes cast. The midfielder beat Marcus Stewart into second place (23%) with Fabian Wilnis in third (13%).

Holland, who last night presented the BBC’s new Late Kick Off show for the first time, spent six years with Town between 1997 and 2003, skippering the side at Wembley in the 2000 play-off final and also during the UEFA Cup-qualifying season which followed.
