Calling All Football Fans – Vote For Your Favourite Football League Player

-Voting opens for FourFourTwo Top 50 -

The Football League and FourFourTwo are pleased to announce that once again fans can have their say on which Coca-Cola Football League players should make FourFourTwo’s prestigious Top 50 list.

Fans wishing to vote for players that they believe deserve a place in the Top 50 should visit www.fourfourtwo.com/footballleagueawards. The votes will be counted and a shortlist drawn up for an expert panel to judge.

FourFourTwo’s Top 50 Football League players will be announced at a ceremony which will take place at the prestigious Grosvenor House on Park Lane on Sunday 29th March 2009.

The March issue of FourFourTwo magazine is out now, and contains further details of how to vote, and also a list of suggested Football League players from each club to get the voting started. Fans can vote for the player they think is best in The Football League overall, or vote for their favourite player from each division.

Editor of FourFourTwo magazine, Hugh Sleight said: “These awards embody everything that is great about The Football League; the involvement and support of the fans. It’s brilliant that we have this opportunity to be able to reward the success and achievement of the clubs and the players. Once again, FourFourTwo is proud to lead the search for The League’s best players, and ask the fans to tell us who they think should be the players of the year."

Notes:

The fourth annual Football League Awards event will recognise footballing excellence both on the field and behind the scenes - with clubs and players rewarded alongside the fans. There will be 20 categories in total, including a range of football awards and industry specific honours.
