Many qualities have enabled Carl to win so convincingly including his strength at the back, marshalling the back four, tough tackling without being being booked too many times, and outstanding leadership.
It is with our congratulations that Carl won. He also picked up the Junior Cherries award, and is likely to be a favourite to pick up the Evening Echo's Micky Cave award.
