Left-back Aaron Cresswell has been named Town's Player of the Year for 2011/12. The summer signing from Tranmere beat skipper Carlos Edwards into second place with Lee Martin in third.

The 22-year-old wasn’t present at tonight's Supporters Club Player Awards Evening at the Cameo Hotel after pulling a hamstring in this afternoon’s 3-0 home defeat to Millwall.

The Liverpool-born defender tweeted his appreciation to those who voted for him or who have sent him congratulations: "Thanks for all the messages, happy to have won the award, means a lot! Appreciate your support!"

Carlos Edwards won the Away Match Passport Holders’ Player of the Year, while Icelandic first-year scholar Gunnar Thorsteinsson, a midfielder or defender, won the Dale Roberts Trophy for the Academy Player of the Year.

MattinLondon added 12:35 - Apr 22 I agree with Jas.....a well deserved award. To all the idiots who say that the award should not of gone to a defender....years ago Town were relegated with Terry Butcher at the heart of defence. He still remained a top international defender.

theblueginger added 15:06 - Apr 22 Cant disagree with that. I voted for Martin, on the basis of the difference he has made to the team (Saturday being a prime example) but on balance the order of the three is spot on IMO

TractorRoyNo1 added 21:23 - Apr 22 nothing to do with 'THE' club, this is a 'supporters club' award and their committee choose to present it at THEIR end of season do - i agree it is a bit silly, but for once not evan's fault blueblood66 added 10:14 - Apr 22 Why do the club not announce this at the last home game anymore...another stupic policy of the owners now. We arethe supporters and I would have liked to have seem this and shown appreciation for the player who won. Well done Cressy.

ipswichtillidie added 21:28 - Apr 22 Alf, Maybe i need to update my prescription but i just can't see it, I'm not the only one either. I'm not saying the lad is useless but "player of the year" what for? I just don't rate him from what i see each week. That said if he can continue to improve hopefully he can still turn into a good player for us.

up_the_town4 added 09:53 - Apr 24 Well done Cressie, fantastic season in a poor team well deserved.I have seen the youth play a few times this season and Gunar and i personally thought the boy was very poor i see him play Centre midfield and give the ball away every time and I also see him play left back and get roasted every time so i am kind of confused with this decision and slightly worried about our youth team if he is player of the year also i got told he is a 2nd year scholla so why has he not got a pro now strange. Like I said i only seen him a few times so maybe I just see bad performances.
