04/11/2009 - Award for Chandler

Whitley Bay manager Ian Chandler was awarded the Football Writers Association (North) Special Award for 2009 in a ceremony in Manchester on Sunday night.

Others winners at the same event were Sir Alex Ferguson, Owen Coyle & Nigel Adkins. The award is in recognition of Bay's excellent season culminating the FA Vase victory at Wembley.

Talking to this website after the event Ian told us "The guest list on the night was a bit overwhelming at first, Sir Alex Ferguson, Sven Goran Eriksson, David Moyes and more.

The best bit of advice I was given came from Joe Royle (Himself a previous winner of the award) who advised 'never make a decision on a Saturday night, as you’ll be full of hell and regret it later.' Never a true word said especially after Saturday’s performance v Tow Law.

The award itself was gratefully received on behalf of Whitley Bay FC and Fans alike, it was very nice to hear Sir Alex talking about Whitley Bay during his acceptance speech, he said the feelings of all involved with Whitley Bay at Wembley would have been no different to that felt and experienced by anyone involved with Man United when winning the premiership."

Whitley Bay have some history with this award, Andy Gowens claiming it on the back of the 2002 Vase success.
