Dagger03 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 We recently found the John Olive Trophy - John Olive, one of the younger players, died in December 1963 after a serious illness. He had played once for the first eleven, at Barnet in August 1962. The John Olive Trophy was presented in his memory and was used for Player of the Year, and subsequently for Clubman of the Year. It fell into disuse in the mid-80s and I am hoping that someone on this forum might have a record of some of the other players who were named player of the year - for example, I know that Danny Cowley, Elliot Styles and Rickie Hayles have all been named as players of the year, but I do not know what years. So any help in filling in some of the gaps will be appreciated. There is a supporters association plaque somewhere which has other details on it, but I can't remember where it is (I should know, but I have forgotten).
