McAuley Player of the Year - Ipswich Town News
Central defender Gareth McAuley was named the Official Supporters Club Player of the Year at tonight's Player Awards Evening at the Greshams Sports and Social Club.
The Northern Irishman finished well ahead of central defensive partner Damien Delaney in second, who was only a handful of votes ahead of third-placed Jack Colback, who won the Players’ Player of the Year last week.
McAuley also retained the Ashley Cushion Away Match Passport Holders Player of the Year, having won it in its inaugural season last year. Ashley was an Away Match Passport holder who died last season and the former Lincoln and Leicester player received the award from his wife Mary Anne.
The Dale Roberts Trophy for the Academy Player of the Year was won by red-carded debutant Tom Eastman.
