Dougie Freedman

Dougie Freedman was crowned Player of the Year and Julian Gray picked up the Young Player of the Year honour at the club's end of season awards.

Dougie had a superb campaign in his second spell back at the club and was named in the PFA team of the season in April.

The goal of the season, which was voted for by viewers of the official website, was Dougie's chip against Gillingham at home.

Although 57 per cent of Holmesdale Online viewers prefered Aki Riihilahti's thunderbolt against Wimbledon.

HOL reporter at the awards Jake d'Eagle said: "Freedman said he'd see us all next year. Julian was on crutches and looked a bit down, but said he should be back by the start of the season.

"Trevor Francis got booed as he came up to present an award and Craig Harrison is walking unaided and said he was fine, but couldn't say when he'd be back playing."
