Double coup for Grant

Posted on: Mon 26 Apr 2010

Owls keeper Lee Grant did the double at the club's Player of the Year awards dinner on Sunday night at Hillsborough.

Grant scooped both the SWFC Player of the Year title and that of Players' Player of the Year to complete a memorable coup.

Other winners unveiled in a packed 1867 Lounge were Etienne Esajas, who lifted the Goal of the Season title for his long range strike at Bramall Lane in September, and Liam Palmer, who was recognised as the Academy Player of the Year.

For the ever-popular Grant, the awards reflect another excellent campaign between the S6 sticks - although the former Derby man did acknowledge he would rather the award went to a striker.

He exclusively told swfc.co.uk: "This is really pleasing for me on a personal note, especially the award from the players because - while it's nice to be recognised by the fans - the players' award is particularly satisfying as it comes from your fellow professionals and team mates.

"I'm only part of a team and obviously, I'd like to thank the lads as well. It would be nice for one of the strikers to win the award because that would mean we have had a better season.

"While it's pleasing for me personally, all I'm focusing on now is Sheffield Wednesday remaining a Championship club and hopefully West Brom can do us a favour on Monday night."
