Terrace Trophy

[RalphVilla]

I wonder if anyone on here can help? While the history of Villa is really well documented, I have been unable to find a list of all the players who have won the end of season ‘Terrace Trophy’. If anyone knows where I can find one, I would be grateful, also, is it still called the Terrace Trophy or had it become The (Supporters) Player of the Year?

[cdbearsfan]

I've tried to find it before but with no luck.

1958 Nigel Sims (inaugural winner)
1959 Johnny Dixon
1960 Jimmy Dugdale
1966 Colin Withers

2020 Jack Grealish
2021 Emi Martinez
2022 Matty Cash (Supporters')/Jacob Ramsey (Players') - not sure which is the "Terrace Trophy"?
2023 Douglas Luiz
2024 Ollie Watkins

What I have found so far, will keep looking. Not sure if it was a thing in the 80s/90s/00s?

I'm sure I've seen a picture of Ian Ross holding the trophy but can't find it now. If he did, 1976 would be the year. Have tentatively put him in.

Saw suggestion on Twitter that Steven Davis won in 2006 and Paul McGrath won four times, but again not sure if Terrace Trophy.

[cdbearsfan]

Not sure if this request could be moved to Heroes Discussion for wider viewing until we have got them all, or confirmed if the list above is complete? Was there no award in 2017?

[PeterWithesShin]

There's every chance Morris would know.

[cdbearsfan]

Some suggestion online (well, here) that Dave Rudge won. But he left halfway through the season in 1969/70 which is the only remaining year he could have won. Did he really win on the basis of half a season? I suppose it's possible as we were pretty shit then.

[PeterWithesShin]

Sarkic won their POTY when we loaned him to sha, and he got crocked after 23 appearance

[dave.woodhall]

McGrath won six in a row, 1990-95.

I can help a little with that one. He shared it with another player in that season (I can’t remember who!) At the time, I was six and went to a lot of Central League games, he was one of my favourites. I voted for him and my dad scoffed at my choice, so I was incredibly surprised when he was announced. Probably an indication that we were not very good that year! Thanks to everyone who has helped out with this request.

anyone know who our players young player of the year for the 2000-2007 seasons was please?

[MorrisNielson]

Last update on this, thought I’d go back to 1989 and state both Supporters player & young player awards. Interesting that I have seen match reports of the 1995 Man City & Liverpool games which state Deano as player of the season but no mention anywhere else. I’ve seen reference to both Ricky Scimeca & Lee Hendrie winning the young player award for 1998, probably Hendrie is most likely. I’ve got a few question marks over the young player of the year for recent seasons, I can’t see anything online.

1989 David Platt & Mark Blake
1990 Paul McGrath & Bryan Small

1994 Mark Bosnich & Graham Fenton

I'd be interested to know more about the 1994 and '95 awards because I always saw McGrath as winning them both.

I had to go and lie down in a darkened room after that odious shit Ireland won it.
