The KUMB.com Awards XV (2011/12 season): Results Announced

[WalthammerUSA]

Late to the party here, obviously

Player of the Year - Carlton Cole. Sticking with us, the 50 percent pay cut, the effort in the playoff final, his adoring words about the club--he deserves recognition, particularly after some of the stick he's gotten from supporters over the years
Runner up - James Tomkins. Very difficult not to vote for him; also deserves the award
Young Player of the Year - Henri Lansbury. Not really ours, unfortunately, but he seems the runaway choice in this category
Best Signing - Ricardo Vaz Te. Got him cheap and he poured in goals and made our season in the final (although he only played two good minutes in that match); Nolan was a very close second
Most Improved Player - Jackie Collison. OK, this is a weird choice (Reid's the obvious guy), but I just like Jackie and wanted to vote for him somewhere
Most Memorable Match - Playoff Final: West Ham 2-1 Blackpool. One of the most memorable matches ever for me as a West Ham supporter
Goal of the Season - Vaz Te's winner against Blackpool in the final. Not the best in quality (not even close), but certainly the best in context

Worst Player of the Year - John Carew. Rod Carew would have been a better option (reference for American baseball fans of a certain age there...)
Worst Signing - John Carew
Greatest Disappointment - No supporters' poll on the OS issue--and this one wasn't all that close for me
Hackett of the Year - Orient chairman, what a nonce
Most missed - Scotty Parker. He was the heart and soul for years, but we have moved on, thankfully

- Player of the Year - Tomkins, he is the new John Terry, minus the messing with mates birds!
- Runner up - Noble, heart and soul in most games, but sometimes the tendancy to over do the simple things/passes. Just pipped.
- Young Player of the Year - Abdoulaye Faye, apparently he's only 19!
- Best Signing - Joint with Vaz Te and Nolan. Vaz Te for his goals and the freedom with which he plays and Nolan for doing his part in making sure the team came together.
- Most Improved Player - Winston Reid by a country mile, completely different player to the one that played under Dr Death.
- Most Memorable Match - Peterborough away, purely for the atmosphere in the stands.
- Goal of the Season - Vaz Te's winner against Blackpool, I was on holiday in Turkey watching on a big screen and went f*cking mental, great night had.
- Worst Player of the Year - Carew, big lump with nothing to offer anymore.
- Worst Signing - Carew
- Greatest Disappointment - Twitchy getting away with it!
- Hackett of the Year - again, twichy, absolute howler by the Judges!
- Most missed - None of em, we have proved we didn't need them and we now have a better togetherness within the squad!

[Rocket]

[Gummi]

It's been a good season.

[Thedogsbilic]

Well done Tomka, lets hope he breaks into the England squad this year.

[Jackanakanory]

Signed in the January transfer window, Ricardo Vaz Te becomes the first player not to have spent the entire season at the Boleyn Ground to land this particular award since Rufus Brevett back in 2003.

Previous Winners
2010/11 Demba Ba;

Am I being thick but wasnt Ba signed in January 2011?

[e17]

Congrats to all the winners

Reading that lot was sooooo much more positive & close than the last couple of years when it could have been renamed "the Scott Parker award" (with good reason!)

Excited for next season now

[Up the Junction]

Excited for next season now

Rob Green a shoo-in for Most Missed

Can't wait to watch him terrorise the premiership

Congratulations to JAMES TOMKINS, your KUMB.com Player of the Year for 2011/12!

What's a Hackett of the Year? I need some help with the translation on that one.

What's a Hackett of the Year? I need some help with the translation on that one.

Keith Hackett - referee of the 1990/91 FA Cup semi-Final between WHUFC and Nottingham Forest who sent Tony Gale off for a professional foul ... in the centre circle.

Nice little article about it here.

Very nice of James to take the time to thank the voters, not everyone would've done that, so good lad.

A very deserving winner - good luck in the Olympics, James!
