When/how are these voted for? A pity Gabby's recent form didn't get a nod.

I also would have expected villajk to have provided a full synopsis by now complete with Instagrammed shots of John Gregory performing State Trooper.

Apparently Pauline was busy fighting all the candidates for Miss Aston Villa. Somebody told her the prize was a bottle of wine.

Now if it was a grumpy old bag competition I may well have as I'd have won it hands down.

Terrace trophy goes to Brad. 2nd Andi, 3rd Benteke. The fans results are a tad surprising I think. Andi over Benteke?
Utterly bonkers IMO.
Not as bonkers as the rankings in that 'Terrace Trophy' thing.

N'Zogbia our fourth best player ahead of Westwood, Lowton, Gabby et al?

Anything that gives results like that should probably be changed.

Agree with you dave.

Last year Ireland won player of the year, so it sums up how bonkers it is...

As for the awards Lambert gave the funniest interview I've ever seen him do... I think the result last night eased a bit of pressure all round. Even the players were watching the Wigan match on Skygo.

Nice to see H&V old boy, king pie eater, Chicago 'Chubby'  Villa was on hand last night to present the Player of the Year Award to Brad.

Well done, Mr Leech.

I remember going to an end of season awards 'do' that was quite good. In 1992 when they used the old bingo place behind the Holte as a social/supporters club for a season if I remember right.

Yep, I went to one at the Bingo place.

They had the presentation to the supporters' player of the year, a Miss Aston Villa contest, a comedian and Nigel Kennedy playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons . A real cultural melting pot. Kennedy was going out with Brix Smith at the time and she was there with claret and blue hair. A good night though, got to meet and talk to all of the players and Big Ron. Still got some great photos from that night

Went to that one, same day as the Oldham game that we lost. Highlight for me was seeing Paul Mcgrath trying to get off with my girlfriend, despite an interview he'd done with a national rag that week he clearly wasn't on the wagon. Remember Dwight hanging around with him and being a thoroughly nice guy unlike Bosnich who struck me as a complete cock.

I remember bozzy  coming over as a young las and living in digs in coleshill , was shy and quiet as a mouse - guess the fame and money went to his head.
