The Professional Footballers Association Fair Play Award winner is Stockport County

Jim Gannon hailed his Stockport County for approaching the game the right way.
Gannon’s side were not handed a single yellow card for dissent and had no players dismissed during the entirety of the campaign.
Averaging less than one caution per game, County showed that you do not have to play dirty to achieve results as they reached the National League North play offs after finishing in fifth position.
Gannon said: “It’s a great achievement. I set the principles but the players have been acting like very good professionals and good people. Ever since I did my pro license, I’ve always wanted to play the game in a certain way and respect the standards of football.
“There are so many injuries now and I just want skill to flourish, so we make sure that we play the game in the right manner. It’s nice to be successful in the league and you can be successful by playing in the right manner.”
The boss takes great pride in the award, he added: “I’ve won this award in the Football League and in the SPL, and now I’m back at Stockport again, it’s nice that we are creating the right culture.”
