The 25th Football Association of Wales Awards, sponsored by Vauxhall, took place at City Hall in the centre of Cardiff on Monday (4 October), where Gareth Bale walked away with three awards, while Kylie Davies won the top honour in the Women’s category.
Gareth Bale was chosen as the Fans’ Favourite of 2015 following a public vote on social media through Wales National Team sponsor Vauxhall. He was also selected by his fellow teammates as the Players’ Player of the Year and rounded the night off by receiving the Vauxhall Player of the Year Award.
In addition to Kylie Davies picking up the Women’s Vauxhall Player of the Year award, Natasha Harding (Women’s Players’ Player of the Year), Charlie Estcourt (Women’s Young Player of the Year) and Helen Ward (Women’s Player’s Player of the Year) were the other winners.
Wales National Team Manager Chris Coleman, was voted the winner of the Media Choice Award for putting Wales on the brink of qualification to UEFA EURO 2016 and Tommy O’Sullivan was chosen as the Young Player of the Year.
The 25th FAW Awards also recognised the contribution that Alan Curtis has made to the game of football, with the former Wales international and Swansea City striker being the recipient of the FAW Long Service Award.
Jonathan Ford, Chief Executive, said: “It was a fantastic event this evening. It has been a memorable 12 months for football both on and off the field. This evening’s event with over 400 people attending hopefully reflected that.
“I would sincerely like to congratulate all those who have won awards tonight.
“We hope that over the next 12 months we will achieve even greater success.”
