The Scratching Shed end-of-season awards Tim Hodge May 6, 2011 Leeds United 20 Comments After the Burnley game Leeds United players and staff took part in the obligatory end of season awards evening. The awards are as follows: Player for the Year: Max Gradel Players’ Player of the Year: Max Gradel Young Player of the Year: Jonny Howson Goal of the season: Bradley Johnson vs Arsenal After the awards Max Gradel gave his thanks to Simon Grayson, the staff and the players: “I’ve been working very hard and I want to say thanks to the manager, his staff and the players. At the end of last year I felt I let the team and the fans down and I wanted to give something back to this club because it deserves it. This is a massive club, it’s the best I’ve been at, and to play at a club like this is a dream. I want to keep playing at this club for a long time to come.” It’s certainly been a magnificent twelve months for Gradel who has gone all the way to making up for his immaturity in our vital promotion clinching game against Bristol Rovers a year ago. Now, to lighten the mood, I thought it might be nice for us to give out our own awards. So here are, in no particular order, the TSS alternative end of season awards.
