Andy Todd has capped his debut season in the Hyundai A-League by winning Perth Glory’s Most Glorious Player award on Friday.
The star defender polled 34 votes to run away with the count from captain Jacob Burns (23) and Naum Sekulovski (13).
Todd picked up votes in 16 games and received the maximum three votes six times.
Back in England with his family, Todd said he was still hurting from the Glory-s dramatic penalty shoot-out loss to Wellington.
“I think we slightly underachieved with the squad we’ve got,” Todd said.
“You look at our team and we have a decent team on paper.
“I think next season we will look to go a lot better than this season for sure,” he said.
He said he was rapt with his first season in Australia.
“I just wanted to come here and enjoy myself and to try and help the players reach bigger and better things,” Todd said.
“I’ll be back next season and hopefully we can go one or two steps better.”
“It’s a great honour for me and I’m very privileged to receive these awards, I’m very humbled by it all.”
Defender Naum Sekulovski won Best Clubman while Mile Sterjovski was awarded the Golden Boot.
In the Youth team, Dean Evans capped off an impressive season, named the Most Glorious Youth player.
