Brown deserved award says Turner

Hereford United manager Graham Turner has heaped praise on first choice goalkeeper Wayne Brown after he was presented with the HUISA player of the year last Saturday.

"Congratulations must go to Wayne Brown for winning both the supporters player of the year and the away supporters player of the year," Turner told the Hereford Times.

"Our defensive record this season has been very impressive. Wayne played in 44 of our 46 league matches and conceded just 41 goals. The highlight for me was his crucial save at Mansfield to earn us all three points from the game.

"He would be the first to pay tribute to the work done by the players in front of him and rightly so.

"However, for his consistency, he throughly deserves the accolades bestowed on him by the supporters."

Turner also said that he was 'pleasantly surprised' at the reception given to the team last Sunday.

"To see so many supporters enjoying the whole period from Brentford to the Town Hall further emphasises the pleasure that football can bring to people's lives"

Meanwhile Toumani Diagouraga told the paper that all we wants to do is play football. He spent the whole season on loan at Hereford from Watford.

"I am not sure what is happening for next season. I might be back at Hereford. There are a few discussions going on at the moment."

His contract at Watford has not been extended.
