Congratulations to GQ's man of the year (Inspirational Category), Dan Taylor! In his first full season of fitness, Danno imperiously cast aside the nay-sayers who claimed that "Mr Glass", as he affectionately became known following his first two injury-ridden (non) seasons, would never fulfill his true potential.
Well Done Danno. With your 3 MotMs and 7 goals from the back this year, it has been good to see, finally, what you can really do. More of the same next season please.
Collecting the Capital Canaries 'Players Player of the Year' award for season 2005/06, Danno appeared non-plussed with his 2nd prestigious honour in as many days, having just returned from a star guest appearance at GQ's "most influential men of the 21st Century" awards in Riga, Latvia. Perhaps all that shampoo modeling work in media-land has gone to his head and he really believes "it's because he's worth it"?! Or perhaps he was just physically and emotionally spent having combined business with pleasure on his romantic weekend away in the Baltics with agent-cum-friend-cum-flatmate-cum-onmyface Bennett. Danno did let his guard slip for the briefest of moments, the ultra cool persona vanishing to reveal a rare moment of genuine emotion, when he later admitted it was an absolute privilege to have his name sharing space on the same shield as legends like Barney Slater, who really should be plying his trade at a much higher level. Spare a thought for poor Rick Utting, runner-up, who walked away empty-handed after an excellent first full season. Like a true pro and team player, Rick took it on the chin, claiming " As long as I get the big one, next year I'll be happy". The PoS shield, Rick? "No, the League and Cup double!". Excellent spirit, and with an attitude like that at a time when he must have felt hard done by following rumours he was in the running for the top honour - who knows, 2006/07 may just be our year. Eye of the Tiger fellas, 104 days to go ...
