**Colbert Report** · 18/06/2012, 8:54 PM

Keith Andrews for me

**tricky_colour** · 18/06/2012, 8:57 PM

Seconded.

**nigel-harps1954** · 18/06/2012, 9:00 PM

Thirded.

It reminds me of Sean Thornton winning Sunderlands player of the season after the worst premiership season of all time, but if there has to be one then probably Andrews or maybe Duff

**theworm2345** · 18/06/2012, 9:07 PM

Toss up between Kelly, McShane, Hunt, and Gibson.

**backstothewall** · 18/06/2012, 9:13 PM

Can't disagree with Andrews but I'm going to give Sledge a mention

**The Legend** · 18/06/2012, 9:13 PM

Andrews.. only one that showed any passion... but this thread should be just deleted... nobody deserves any accolades.

**jebus** · 18/06/2012, 9:15 PM

Andrews by a distance for me

John Delaney does, he's drank Poland dry.

Andrews. Good for your liver too.

Then Sledge.

Ditto on both of these.

He made 14 appearances for Sunderland in the 2002–03 season. I don't know how he could have been their player of the year.

**Carrigaline** · 18/06/2012, 9:40 PM

Andrews for me.

Honourable mentions to St Ledger, McGeady and Walters.

**SkStu** · 18/06/2012, 9:41 PM

Roy Keane

**Murfinator** · 18/06/2012, 10:26 PM

Andrews by a mile, the only one who played somewhere near expectations. He continues to be a go to big game player and while being our best player in our worst tournament of all time is no praise he is the only one of them who can leave Poland with their reputation intact.

The Duffer.

Showed his class. Didn't lose the ball (except when he passed it to Whelan).

If more were as good as the Duffer, we might have gotten somewhere.

I still think he should have played in the centre of the park.

Good shout, he does something completely foreign to this side and regularly retains possession. As his pace decreases with age I wonder would he consider a switch to the centre, he has unusually good close control and positional awareness for a winger.

What has st ledger done bar his goal? I thought he was bossed in every game in a defensive unit that conceded 9, felt like Dunne was doing the work of 2-men at times.

**Yard of Pace** · 18/06/2012, 10:45 PM

I've never seen a player so good at winning free-kicks as Duffer. That time he had 4 Italians about to swamp him to regain possession and he managed to draw a foul was possibly my favourite moment of the tournament for us.
