Football Aid would like to congratulate our winner Daryl Savage; his spectacular volley just edged out several other excellent strikes this season and he wins himself the coveted Goal of the Season 2009 trophy (Daryl is pictured above, in action for the Away team in our '09 game, and below receiving his trophy at Roots Hall from Southend United's Simon Francis).

The lucky winner of our competition (winning himself a position in our 2010 games) was Adam Pearce, and he’s chosen to play in our Everton match. We’d like to say a massive thank you to everybody who entered the competition, as well as congratulating our other excellent Goal of the Season finalists.

The pressure’s now on our 2010 players to match this season’s excellent efforts!
