cheat Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 Pre-amble for any new posters/readers Most of you will be up to speed on the famous Alan Harper Award, but just for any new readers, here's a quick explanation. Points are awarded for misdemeanours throughout the season and the player with the most points at the end of the season takes the prestigious award. Points are awarded as follows, Yellow card - 1 point Penalty conceeded - 2 points Penalty missed - 2 points Red card - 3 points Own goal - 3 points Alan Harper was a squad member of the excellent Everton side of the 80s, who always seemed to have a stormer against us - in fact he scored the first goal against us in the 1985-86 F.A. Cup semi final. So when Wednesday signed him for £275,000 in June 1988 it's fair to say that most Wednesdayites were pretty pleased with the signing. Predictably, he then turned out to be absolute garbage for us. It is not his lack of form that sees this competition named after him though, but his antics in a 4-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, in which he conceeded a penalty, scored an own goal and got booked, an impressive 6 points all in one game. The Alan Harper Award was a mainstay of Cheat fanzine between 1989 and 1996, made a return in War of the Monster Turcks in the 00s, and has been resident on Owlsonline since 2006. The Owlsonline winners of the Alan Harper Award are; 2006-07. Tommy Spurr 2007-08. Jermaine Johnson 2008-09. Mark Beevers 2009-10. Lewis Buxton 2010-11. Giles Coke 2011-12. Reda Johnson 2012-13. Miguel Llera 2013-14. Sam Hutchinson 2014-15. Glen Loovens 2015-16. Sam Hutchinson 2016-17. Sam Hutchinson 2017-18. Daniel Pudil 2018-19. Barry Bannan 2019-20. Moses Odubajo 2020-21.
