Knockaert has been named the EFL'S Championship Player of the Year
Chris Wood also included.

Brighton winger Anthony Knockaert has been named the EFL'S Championship Player of the Year.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has scored 13 goals in 40 games to help Brighton to the top of the table.

Sheffield United striker Billy Sharp, 31, and Doncaster Rovers striker John Marquis, 24, won the respective League One and League Two awards in London.

Exeter City forward Ollie Watkins, 21, received the Young Player of the Year award.

Brighton midfielder Steve Sidwell won the prize for Goal of the Year for his sensational 50-yard lob against Bristol City in November.

Knockaert beat Leeds United's New Zealand striker Chris Wood, 25, and Newcastle United striker Dwight Gayle, 26, to claim the award.

Wood and Gayle are the top two leading scorers in the second-tier with 24 and 22 goals respectively.

Former Birmingham City and Peterborough United boss Barry Fry, 72, was honoured with the Contribution to League Football Award, recognising his lifetime service to the professional game.

"I've been to Wembley four times and won every time," said Fry.

"I've won play-off games, I've won leagues, I've won cups but to get this honour is the greatest achievement I've ever been awarded and thank you very much to the English Football League."

Brentford's Kevin O'Connor picked up the Sir Tom Finney Award.

The honour, named after former England and Preston North End forward Finney, is presented to a player who has had an exceptional career in the EFL.

O'Connor made 501 first-team appearances in 16 years for the Bees and now works in a backroom role at Brentford.
 
Not too sure he's a very good defensive midfielder. Who picked that team, Garth Crooks?
 
So do we want Chris Wood back - a replacement for Leo "I'll never play for Leicester again" Ulloa.

No. We knew when we sold him that he was a proven Championship striker.
 
Nick Powell came on as a sub for Wigan in the 66th minute while Barnsley were 2-0 up. He has now scored a hattrick and turned the game around.

Konchesky getting used to non-league football



They won 8-3 though and the Tonbridge Angels manager when interviewed after the game said 8hat 'Ricay won every 1st and 2nd ball so that team talk must have worked.
And looking at one of their fans videos below you can see the passion of supporting a non league team and winning a Trophy, even if it was one I'd never heard of. They certainly use the long throw to good effect. And their first goal nicely well taken

Aaaaahh that Cup!
Actually when I followed Worthing in the 80's, when I lived there, I watched a few of those Cup games. Indeed on a half term visit back to Worthing in the 90s there was a midweek "Cup game" on which I thought I'd go and watch. I think Worthing beat some team from Eastbourne and Eastbourne's centre half was so wide he made Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Conrad Logan look slim. Worthing had a live wire forward and I think the final score was about 9-0
