FWA FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR 2011 - SCOTT PARKER
Scott Parker admitted he was "staggered" to have collected the 2011 Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year Award. In what was one of the closest contests of recent seasons, Parker topped the poll of journalists ahead of Tottenham defender Gareth Bale.The England international - who started his career at Charlton before spells with Chelsea and Newcastle ahead of joining the Irons in 2007 - was guest of honour as he collected the prestigious accolade, which has been running since 1948, at a gala dinner at the Lancaster London Hotel on May 12.
Parker, 30, is the first Hammer since England World Cup winning captain Bobby Moore in 1964 to receive the FWA Award.
FWA Tribute Dinner 2012 - Paul Scholes and Gary Neville
Paul Scholes and Gary Neville were the joint recipients of the Football Writers' Association Tribute Award at a gala dinner at The Savoy Hotel in London on Sunday 22nd January 2012.The event was given added significance as it came just a few weeks after Paul Scholes had come out of retirement to add to the 677 appearances he had made for Manchester United before calling it a day at the end of the 2010/11 season.
United legend Sir Bobby Charlton told FWA Chairman Steven Bates: "Paul and Gary are irreplaceable and the highest compliment I can pay them is that their legacy is as good as any who have played for this club."
FWA NORTHERN DINNER 2010
The 28th Northern FWA Managers' Awards Dinner was a significant occasion in the Association's history, as the £80,000 barrier was cracked for children's charities.The raffle and auction at the function, held at Manchester's Radisson Edwardian Hotel on November 14, raised £4,500 with The Seashell Trust - formlery the Royal Schools for the Blind - and Friends of Muscular Dystrophy the two charities to benefit this year.
So we have now raised almost £81,000 for children's causes.
