Aljezurense FC star footballer Fábio António recently accepted Amovate’s Player Of The Year trophy at the club’s HQ.

Fábio António played major roles in important matches during his first season with the club.

His strong tackling, accurate passing, impressive stamina and an eye for goal made him a favourite with the supporters and earned him the vote that carries with it one trophy that remains in the club’s Trophy Cabinet and another for the player to keep.

Fabio’s father originally accepted the trophies on his son’s behalf from Amovate President Peter Johnson at their Championship dinner in May, as Fábio was away at University.

But the informal presentation was made at the town’s sports club to the player who accepted both trophies from Peter and said:

“It was a great season for the team because we won the Championship and promotion, and also for myself because of this magnificent personal acknowledgement.

“What makes it even more special is that the Player of the Year is named by the supporters who see the team playing in all our games, home and away. So it is an award I am proud of and which I will always value highly.”
