A Sunday League player in Watford has picked up the prestigious award of Player of the Year in the Carling One-All Awards 2009.
Robert Meyer was chosen as a winner in this category for his dedication to Hertfordshire Harriers FC. Robert has been a rock in the defensive line, and was nominated by club Chairman, Lee Stiles.
He said: “In a shocking debut season for the club, conceding over 75 goals, Rob worked hard and gave blood, sweat and tears for the cause. His performances were always glittering as he dived in for last-ditch challenges and his work-rate never stopped, even at 6-0 down.
He is well respected throughout the club, and a fantastic character to have in any club, or friendship circle. I honestly feel that he deserves this award more than any other player in any team throughout the country.”
Meyer was delighted to receive his award: “The team had a tough season, we didn’t get many points, but we kept at it. I play centre back so I had a very busy season, we didn’t keep one clean sheet!”
