PLAYER IN THE COMMUNITY - Zesh Rehman
Posted on: 14.03.2010
Bradford City's Zesh Rehman has won the PFA Player in the Community award at the 2010 Football League Awards incorporating FourFourTwo's Top 50 Football League Players.

Zesh received the award at a gala dinner at Grosvenor House, Park Lane on Sunday evening in front of 900 attendees from clubs, sponsors and the football industry.

The quality and depth of the community work undertaken by Zesh has been outstanding, to such an extent that it is hard to summarise everything he has done. Zesh excels in public speaking and has spoken to schools and colleges in and around the Bradford area. In addition, Zesh is an Ambassador for the Club's Princes Trust and Kick It Out projects, and has also entered the Show Racism the Red Card Hall of Fame.

His influence as an Asian footballer is portrayed through such campaigns and helps raise children's aspirations showing children can achieve their dreams, regardless of their race. Zesh himself is clearly aware of what can be achieved, saying "Football is the perfect vehicle to bring people and communities together, it is all about integration."

Football League Awards judge, Sky Sports' Peter Beagrie, said of Zesh; "he is a great communicator, leader and role model. He is a national ambassador, comfortable being charged with the job of uniting a multiracial community."

FAN OF THE YEAR
Southampton fan Herbert Taylor wins EA Sports Fan of the Year

FAN OF THE YEAR
Posted on: 14.03.2010
Southampton fan Herbert Taylor has won the EA SPORTS Fan of the Year award at the 2010 Football League Awards incorporating FourFourTwo's Top 50 Football League Players.

'Herbie' received the award at a gala dinner at Grosvenor House, Park Lane on Sunday evening in front of 900 attendees from clubs, sponsors and the football industry.

Herbie is 79 years of age and began supporting Southampton aged just ten years old, way back in 1940. He has hardly missed a game in the sixty nine years since, with his longest absence from watching them being during his RAF service 1950/52. Even then he would hitchhike home from wherever he was posted in the UK to see Saints play and hitchhike back to his base after the game. Only when he was posted to what was then Southern Rhodesia did he have to miss games.

In his retirement he has been able to serve the club he so lovingly supports by being a volunteer Stadium Tour Guide at the St Mary's Stadium, and never misses an opportunity to show off the stadium and enthrall all who come on his tours with his knowledge of the stadium and the club's proud history. He loves his job and is well known in Southampton - to the extent he was recently voted as the best subject to be painted by a local artist as a true representative of Saints fans.

The Football League Awards judging panel commented that "Herbie has demonstrated a lifetime of dedication with humility; no journey has been too great for Herbie. From hitchhiking back from far off places while serving his country to support his beloved club and being the driving force behind charitable work. Since retirement, his true passion of supporting Southampton for nearly 70 years has been passed on to other fans making their pilgrimage back to St. Mary's. Herbie - a real fan and true Saint through and through."
