The Supporters Player
of the Year is decided every season by voting from
Town's fans to recognise the best overall performance of
a player over the course of the Football season
Towards
the end of every season, fans of the club are given
slips at Portman Road in which they will indicate their
nomination, the results of which are added up and the
player with the most votes is then presented with a
Rosebowl in final home league game of the season as a
token of appreciation from the Town fanbase for their
efforts in the season just ending.
The first
winner of the award was Town legend Kevin Beattie, who
is one of just four players who have won the award on
more than one occasion. George Burley, who won the
1976-1977 award, also went on to manage the club.
