GRAHAM Turner believes Hereford United goalkeeper Wayne Brown is a worthy winner of his double award.
Brown was named both supporters' and away supporters' player of the year following a superb season between the posts for the Bulls.
The 31-year-old custodian played a major part in the club's promotion to League One, conceding less than a goal-per-game on average throughout the campaign.

Brown is out of contract at Edgar Street but is expected to be offered a new deal in the summer by manager Turner, who only has five players signed up for 2008/09 - Karl Broadhurst, Ben Smith, Steve Guinan, Kris Taylor and Clint Easton.
Securing the former Bristol City and Chester keeper's services would be a major boost for Turner and he knows how important Brown's role has been over the past nine months.
The United chief said: "Our defensive record this season has been very impressive. Wayne played in 44 of our 46 league matches and conceded just 41 goals. The highlight for me was his crucial penalty save at Mansfield to earn us all three points from the game.
"He would be first to pay tribute to work done by the players in front of him and rightly so. However, for his consistency, he thoroughly deserves the accolades bestowed on him by the supporters."
