RDFC - Eddie Denny Fair Play Award

Post by Diamond Warrior »

Does anyone know who won this award last at RDFC?

Eddie is the grandfather of a friend of mine and now the club has gone to the shit, his grandmother (Eddie's wife) would like the trophy back.

The last winner that I could find after some brief research was Andy Burgess in 2004. Personally I can't say I remember this award.

I would appreciate any information anyone would have. Would the trophy be 'liquidated' or whatever so there would be no way of getting it back?

I've had a look at the set of news articles on the Official Website, and the only article that mentions it is the one you might have seen - where Burge collected the award at the end of the 2002-03 season - http://www.thediamondsfc.com/page/NewsD ... 19,00.html

One wonders why it wasn't awarded again after that.

It was possibly that season then and not 2004.

This article shows that Mustafa won it in 2001/02 season.. http://www.northamptonchron.co.uk/news/ ... d_1_941160

With respect to Eddie Denny, is this award just rewarding someone for playing like a nancy for the entire season? No surprise to see Burge win it, he was never one for a challenge. ;)

Out of interest, who is Eddie Denny? And why is he fair?
