Shelbourne’s star striker Jason Byrne received the PFAI Player of the Year award at a packed Burlington Hotel in Dublin. Byrne thanked his Shels colleagues and manager Pat Fenlon for helping Shelbourne capture the League championship.
Other victors on the night were Alan Murphy who won the first division player of the year for his performances with Galway United last season and Eamon Zayed of Bray Wanderers who was voted the PFAI young player of the year. The highlight of the evening saw an emotional Pat Byrne except the PFAI Merit Award for services to Irish football.
