Green
Upson
McCartney

Apart from the games we conceded 4 our defence have kept us in 10th this season. Especially as through large parts we had no firepower upfront.

I cant give it to a forward because our goals scored is not good. If our forwards had played better and/or been injury free who knows where we would be.

Greens form for most of the season has been fantastic but has dipped of late which might mean he loses some credit.

It would be easy to give it to McCartney, I think he has played in every game this season and has escaped injury. But player of the season? I don't think so.

Its so hard to judge because there has been so many injuries but I'm going with the Fantasy stats. On virtually every score eg. Total Score, Bonus, Points per game Green comes out Top.

So for me its Green.

2nd and 3rd don't really matter in my book.

Robert Green has been voted the 2007/08 Hammer of the Year following a poll carried out by the West Ham United Supporters Club.

Fans were asked to vote for the player they felt had been the top performer over the campaign and Green, who did not miss a single Barclays Premier League game, took 52 per cent of the vote of the entire first-team squad. Fellow ever-present George McCartney was the runner-up, getting 31 per cent, with Matthew Upson in third place. Green is only the fifth goalkeeper to win the coveted prize - following in the footsteps of Lawrie Leslie, Phil Parkes, Ludek Miklosko and Shaka Hislop. James Tomkins was the Young Hammer of the Year and Jack Collison the most improved player.

Green said: "I am very pleased. I have got a good rapport with the fans. I love playing in front of them, I love playing for the club ... It is a wonderful achievement for myself, it is something I failed to do in ten seasons at Norwich so I am really pleased to do it in my second season at West Ham." The goalkeeper was particularly honoured to add his name to a distinguished list of former greats like Bobby Moore and Trevor Brooking. He added: "It is a wonderful club, it is steeped in tradition and to join the ranks of such players is a tremendous honour."

The 51st Hammer of the Year was presented with his award before kick-off ahead of the final game of the season against Aston Villa. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a terrific campaign that has helped him get back into the England reckoning. Among his highlights were four penalty saves including two last-gasp stops against Portsmouth and Tottenham Hotspur respectively.
