Exeter City fan Greg Hill has been named the Capital One Supporter of the Year for League 2 at The Football League Awards 2015.
Hill received the award at the gala ceremony at The Brewery, London, on Sunday evening in front of over 600 guests from clubs, sponsors and the football industry.The Football League Awards 2015 mark the 10th awards of the awards, which celebrate on and off pitch excellence across The League’s 72 clubs. This year all 72 clubs were nominated for at least one award.
Described by one fellow fan as ‘a credit to the club and football in general’, Greg is a well-known face among Exeter City fans, helping to sell programmes before home games and flying his ‘Grecian Greg’ flag at grounds around League 2. Although he lives with disability that requires him to use a wheelchair, Greg does not let this get in the way of following his favourite team and he regularly makes long journeys around the country cheering on the Devon side.
The Football League is all about fans supporting their team, and this award recognises someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty and added that extra special bit of devotion to their club and the game of football.
Shaun Harvey, Chief Executive of The Football League, said: "The 10th Football League Awards has given us the opportunity to reward outstanding performance, both on and off the pitch, during what has been a memorable Football League season.
"Each of our winners thoroughly deserves this recognition and, once again, we've seen exceptional levels of talent, dedication and achievement across all our nominees."
The Football League Awards 2015 were streamed live on The Football League's official YouTube channel and website, while highlights will be shown on Sky Sports 1 on Monday evening at 6:15pm and 9:15pm.
