Humphreys sweeps board at Pools awards

Richie Humphreys

Richie Humphreys picked up four honours at Hartlepool United's annual awards ceremony to underline his status as one of the club's best-ever players. He was even voted Player of the Century in front of a packed audience at the Borough Hall on a night that left him lost for words.
Richie told the Northern Echo: "Getting one honour was a great feeling, but to walk away with four - including the overall award at the end of the night . . . words can't describe how I feel.

"There's so many great players to have played for this club - and I've been privileged to have appeared alongside some of them.''
As well as Player of the Century, where he beat Wattie Moore and Brian Honour into second and third places, he also won the Player of the Year, Away Player of the Year and Best Player of the 2000s.
Not bad for somebody who was farmed out on loan to Port Vale for a month last season. He has now played 357 games for Pools, including a record run of 234 consecutive appearances.
