'The one voted by your teammates is probably the best individual award you can win. "You spend every day with your teammates, they see you every day, and to get that award from them, I'm just really proud of that. "Obviously the other ones voted by the supporters, it's like they can see that I always give 100 percent whenever I can, get stuck in whenever I can. "I think that's the most you can ask from a player is to work hard and give your all. I'm just delighted to get the award."
