Sydney FC Annual anti-awards

I present the first Sydney Fc annual anti-awards for services given and taken away from Football.

The Chad Gibson award
This prestigious award goes to a player that has over achieved on the Football field causing the opposition team to score when your team is no apparent danger.
Winner
Bea Busch
For his ability to move in slow motion as Travis Dodd ran towards him, his long back swing when making a back line clearance looked like one of those super slow-mo replays you see at the tennis and cricket. Unfortunately Bea Busch’s clearance rebounded off a motoring Travis Dodd and into the Sydney FC goal. the speedy winger stealing a goal like a thief in the night.

Best game of the Season
Winner
Central Coast Mariners 2 V Sydney FC 3 23aug08
Sydney took a two goal lead early the Mariners came back and Sydney won 3-2.

Runner Up
My first blog was about this game; Sydney beat the Melbourne Victory 2-0 away from home. The first time Sydney beat Melbourne Victory away.
Nostalgia can be a bitch. Melbourne won the Premiers Plate and Sydney missed the finals.

Chant of the Year

"High five for the Vukovic"
The Sydney away cove was in immense form giving it to Danny Vukovic reminding him of the incident that cost him his place at the Beijing Olympics after he high fived the referee in last season’s grand final.

Sydney Player of the Year
Winner
Shannon Cole
He had the most crosses in the box than any other player in the A-League, 100 more than his closest rival. He made a list of the world’s top 50 emerging players by the UK media. Shannon made the Socceroos squad after playing for Sydney Olympic last year in the NSW Premier League. His motto is “write your own story”

Best Kossie Moment
Since Kossie is departing he gets his own special award.
Danny Allsop shoulder charging Kossie, I don’t condone this sort of behaviour but c’mon everyone loves a good stack.
