Cork is Player of the Year as Edgar and McCann take last day honours
David Edgar and Chris McCann were voted the top two players for the Clarets in our last game of the season against Cardiff whilst Jack Cork is confirmed as Clarets Mad's tenth Player of the Year. It was perhaps fitting that two players, Edgar and McCann, should come out top in the last game after what have been two difficult seasons for both of them. Edgar has failed to nail down a place in the Burnley team and this was only his second league start in his favoured central defensive position.For McCann it signalled a real return to the sort of form we know he's capable of after a shocking two seasons of injury.Edgar took the man of the match with 40.5% of the vote with McCann second having taken a 20.7% share. Goalkeeper Brian Jensen came in third with 13.7% of the vote.The top two places in the player ratings were reversed. McCann had a rating of 8.21 out of 10 ahead of Edgar's 8.14. Cork was third with a rating of 7.72 in what we hope will not be his last game for Burnley.Edgar and McCann both get five points in the Clarets Mad Player of the Year Table with one each for Cork and Jensen. They make no difference with Cork having already been assured first place, and in the end he's won it by 28 points from last year's winner Chris Eagles. Only one other player, Jay Rodriguez, has scored over 50 points.The man of the match votes and player ratings for the last game are below along with the final Player of the Year table and a list of previous winners of the Clarets Mad Player of the Year.Meanwhile, voting is underway until Monday for the best goal of April and May and that will be followed by the Goal of the Season vote.Man of the Match40.5% - David Edgar20.7% - Chris McCann13.7% - Brian Jensen12.6% - Jack Cork7.7% - Jay Rodriguez1.2% - Andre Bikey, Brian Easton & Danny Fox0.9% - Chris Eagles & Ross Wallace0.7% - Wade Elliott0.2% - Tyrone MearsPlayer Ratings8.21 - Chris McCann8.14 - David Edgar7.72 - Jack Cork7.66 - Jay Rodriguez7.55 - Danny Fox7.21 - Brian Jensen7.14 - Andre Bikey6.97 - Tyrone Mears6.62 - Wade Elliott6.41 - Chris Eagles & Ross Wallace5.72 - Brian EastonClarets Mad Player of the Year 2010/11111: Jack Cork83: Chris Eagles55: Jay Rodriguez47: Andre Bikey43: Tyrone Mears36: Wade Elliott32: Lee Grant31: Clarke Carlisle30: Dean Marney28: Danny Fox27: Brian Jensen26: Michael Duff19: Ross Wallace14: Chris Iwelumo10: Marvin Bartley9: Brian Easton8: Chris McCann6: Martin Paterson5: Nathan Delfouneso & David Edgar3: Leon Cort, John Guidetti & Steven Thompson1: Graham Alexander & Charlie AustinClarets Mad Player of the Year Winners2001/02: Arthur Gnohere2002/03: Graham Branch2003/04: Robbie Blake2004/05: Gary Cahill2005/06: Ade Akinbiyi2006/07: Eric Djemba-Djemba2007/08: Wade Elliott2008/09: Robbie Blake2009/10: Chris Eagles2010/11: Jack Cork
