We had our highs and we had our lows during the 2006-2007 season, and now ALL the Vital Blackburn Rovers Awards for 2006-2007 have been dished out.

With YOUR help through your comments we have determined what had been best and worst in various areas during the 2006-2007 campaign.

The Awards up for grabs that people would WANT were, and were won by:

Player of the Season – David Bentley
Young Player of the Season – Matt Derbyshire
Most Improved Player of the Season – Aaron Mokoena
Goalkeeper/Defender of the Season – Ryan Nelsen & Christopher Samba
Midfielder of the Season – David Bentley
Forward of the Season – Benny McCarthy
Goal of the Season – Tugay vs. Tottenham Hotspur
Friedel’s Save of the Season – The double saves vs. Arsenal in the 0-0 FA Cup tie
Best Rovers Performance of the Season – vs. Liverpool (Premiership 1-0 win) & vs. Chelsea (FA Cup 2-1 defeat)
Individual Performance of the Season – Brad Friedel vs. Sheffield United
Month of the Season – February 2007
Player most missed this Season – Steven Reid
Moment of the Season – Matt Derbyshire’s first Ewood Park goal (vs. Manchester City)

It was not all sweetness and roses though as we also had to look at the bad sides to the season that people WOULDN`T have wanted. They were, and were won by:

Worst Goal Conceded of the Season – Darren Bent (Charlton Athletic)
Worst Rovers Performance of the Season – Points dropped against bottom of the table sides! (This became PERFORMANCES not performance!)
Worst Individual Performance of the Season – Andre Ooijer vs. Chelsea
Rovers Howler of the Season – Shabani Nonda’s miss vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Worst Month of the Season – September 2006
Player least missed this Season – Dominic Matteo
Worst Moment of the Season – Full time in the 0-0 UEFA Cup draw with Bayer Leverkusen
Worst Hairdo of the Season – Morten Gamst Pedersen

We also had to give a thought and praise (if needed) to our opponents, domestic or European. So Awards that WOULD and WOULDN’T be WANTED were, and were won by:

Team of the Season – Reading
Best Team faced by Rovers this Season – Manchester United
Worst Team faced by Rovers this Season – Luton Town
Best Player to face Rovers this Season – Petr Cech
Worst Player to face Rovers this Season – Ousmane Dabo (Manchester City)
Best Goal scored against Rovers this season – Paul Scholes (Manchester United)

Finally were a few SPECIAL Awards. They were, and were won by:

Vital Blackburn Moment of the Season – The whole Vital Blackburn experience
Vital Blackburn Member of the Season – sasman & Hughes Da Man
Vital Blackburn Newcomer of the Season – BomBom & MikeyGamst

THANK YOU to everyone that took part in the inaugural Vital Blackburn Awards, it will return at the end of the 2007-2008 Season (which will hopefully see Vital Blackburn TWICE as big with hundreds of votes on each category?!?!)
