2005/06 - UNDER-14's SCOOP DES HOLL AWARD As the season drew to a close it was time for the annual Des Holl memorial award to take place at Colney. This award is made to the team who Ricky Martin and his staff believe have produced the most memorable performances and results during the current campaign. Having said that the award is as much about a supporter who was a Canary fan all his life and who paid special interest in the players coming through the Academy.

Greg Crane

Des passed away a few years back and FONCY decided to remember his name by making this annual award which this year went to the Under-14's coached by Gary Butcher. There was however one disappointed coach at Colney in the shape of former FONCY Academy player of the season Greg Crane, who felt that the award should have been made to one of the younger age groups that he helps to coach. Therefore to help sooth the pain of defeat the FONCY chairman was on hand to award Greg a FONCY badge as the captain of Lowestoft Town who the previous day had lifted the Ridgeons League title.

2004/05 UNDER-14's ACADEMY TEAM OF THE SEASON At the final Academy Sunday of the season the Under-14's picked up the annual Des Holl Memorial Award. This award is made to the Academy side of the season in memory of Des who was a devoted supporter of The Academy, who along with his wife June was at Colney when ever possible to support the Academy. Unfortunately, June, who now lives in Dorset, could not be at Colney for this year's award that was made by FONCY Chairman John Landamore. Congratulations to the Under-14's and their coaches Ian Thornton and Dick Mills.
