April 2009 - YOUR invitation to
Vote for the
Moseley Supporters Player of the Season -
The Lionel Moriaty Golden Boot 2008/09
Now that we know the date
of our last home game of the season we have set the timescale for voting for the
Moseley Supporters Player of the Season. Presenting the award at the Plymouth
game on Wednesday 29th April will mean deciding with much rugby left to be
played, but with so much splendid action this season, the choice is surely hard
enough already!
Background
The Moseley Supporters Player of the Season award was established at the end of
Season 1986-87 by the Moseley Supporters Association (MSA). The trophy associated
with the award was named The Winit (Golden) Boot, which was made and donated for
the purpose by the Winit Boot Company of Dudley.
Over many years the late Lionel Moriaty did all of the organisation for the
award. Since Lionel sadly passed away in 2005 an impromptu & unofficial award
committee have ensured that the Player of the Season Golden Boot continues in
his memory. For this reason the award was renamed as the Lionel Moriaty Golden
Boot in 2006.
The award committee is made up of Roger Hildreth -former sec of Moseley
Supporters Association (MSA) - John Clayton (former treasurer of MSA), Bryan
Skeeles (former chair of MSA & current sec of MPA) and Terry Davies (MSA member
and club volunteer), all assisted by Dave Bettis of the similarly impromptu &
unofficial Moseleyfan website.
The Process
Continuing the pattern of recent years the supporters vote will again be
available by e-mail or post. This invitation will appear on the "Moseleyfan" and
"official" websites, and also be sent to the 1500+ readers of Moseley Matters.
The Award will be presented at the end of the last home game of the season.

This website kept the world informed about all things Moseley for several years, while the club went though a complete renewal. Now that the Moseley website is fully operational this site's work is largely done. It continues to host some historical stuff not found elsewhere, and, of course, the very lively "Moseleyfan" message board. We also help with the annual Supporters player of the Season award. For all other news and info, for players and spectators of all ages.............
