David Wheater has won the PFA Fans’ League One Player of the Season award, ahead of Billy Sharp and Lee Gregory.
There were just under 20,000 votes cast in the poll, which was held on the Sky Sports website and apps, and Bolton defender Wheater came out on top with 7,687 votes just ahead of Sheffiled United striker Sharp, who received 6,826.
Millwall striker Gregory finished third with 3,319 votes ahead of Sheffield United’s John Fleck (691), Bury’s James Vaughan (457) and Scunthorpe’s Josh Morris (323).
The top six were chosen by our expert panel, which included Sky Sports pundits Paul Merson and Peter Beagrie, Mike Riley – general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials, and Malcolm Clarke – chairman of the Football Supporters’ Federation.
