BURY skipper Michael Nelson scooped four awards at last night's Player-of-the-Season presentation.

It's been a memorable few days for the defender, who has just become a dad and hopes to guide the Shakers into the third division play-off final.

Nelson finished top of the polls as the Players' Player, the Forever Bury's section, the Billy Ayre Memorial Website and Disabled Supporters' Association Player-of-the-Year categories.

'Winning the players' player award probably means the most but it's great to win them all,' said Nelson. 'I thought I might get one or two but not four.'

Player-boss Andy Preece also featured twice as his David Beckham style free kick, albeit left-footed, against Carlisle in the league game at Brunton Park was voted goal of the season by Forever Bury and the Bury Website.

Terry Dunfield picked up the young player trophy and David Nugent, for the second successive season, the most promising young player.

'It's great I've been able to make more of a contribution on the pitch this season,' said Preece. 'And to get any award is always nice, especially at this stage in my career.'

Is Nelson a worthy winner? Have your say.
