Carl Robinson named TFC player of the year

THE CANADIAN PRESS



Carl Robinson has been named Toronto FC's player of the year for the second season in a row.

The Welsh midfielder shared the award in 2007 with defender Jim Brennan in the MLS team's first campaign. Robinson started in all 27 Toronto FC games he played this season, missing the other three matches while on international duty.

Forward Chad Barrett won the team's Golden Boot award as top scorer after joining Toronto FC from the Chicago Fire on July 27. Arriving with five goals under his belt, Barrett scored four more for TFC.

Defender of the year honours went to Marvell Wynne, who scored two goals this season while picking up just one caution and 17 fouls.

Defender Todd Dunivant earned the nod for the team's U.S. Soccer Federation Humanitarian of the Year. He was recognized for his work in the community, even after his season was cut short by an ankle injury that required surgery.

The awards, decided by player and staff voting, were announced at a dinner Tuesday.

Top scorer for me is Dichio. He scored 5 this season. I'm not counting Barrett's goals for Chicago!

me too.....Barret had the most goals on the team, but not the most with TFC....Lord Dichio has that honour.

So when are we announcing the 2008 RPB TFC Man of the Year? I hope Coach does a scarf for it like he did for Jimmy last year, It is one of my favourites.

[manic.street.preacher]

^^i second that motion, would love a robbo scarf

[Blazer]

So was he our most valuable player?

[mighty_torontofc_2008]

Nice to see Robbo win the award...come on JC make him team captain for next season.

[David_Oliveira]

So was he our most valuable player?

I agree with the MVP award. Definitely deserved. Probably the most consistent player.

[Blazer]

I would subscribe to "most consistent" for sure.

[Azerban]

if only because i guess we have to give it to someone i dont think anyone really out and out deserves it

[TOBOR !]

I would subscribe to "most consistent" for sure.

to be consistent all you have to do is play the same way every game.

Working on it. The question is, should we do a scarf like last year's, or do a completely new design? This is second priority on my list.

I was thinking about a Carver scarf, too. Just thinking at this point. Still haven't spoken to anyone on the merch team about anything like this.

[Blazer]

to be consistent all you have to do is play the same way every game.

And that Robo did. But was he truly our MVP this season? I question the selection.

Azer>> Agreed, nobody was a true favourite to win as nobody played their hearts out game in game out and made a huge difference in the outcome of every game.

[TOBOR !]

And that Robo did. But was he truly our MVP this season? I question the selection.


That's what I'm saying. They're just passing it around. I'd've rather seen Wynne get it - he's pretty much the only guy on the team who I have any confidence in.

[Blazer]

Couldn't agree more.

[Blazer]

And if he's back, give him the arm band.

[Across_The_Pond]

Been out of the loop for a while, but I'm up and running with a new computer, anyway....well done Robbo boyo! Dai iawn!

Keep that Welsh flag flying high at BMO Fields!

[Wagner]

He's truly earned his nickname of "Hot" Carl.

[Daveisonfire]

:party::party: Way to go Carl!!! :D
