Tony Burman delighted with goalscoring form of Dartford striker Lee Burns
Comments |
Lee Burns ended Dartford’s
promotion season with the player-of-the-year accolade and even boss
Tony Burman has been surprised with the player’s scoring form.
Burns finished the season as the club’s leading scorer, having
hit 22 league goals but was originally signed as a midfielder.
Burman (pictured) said: "He’s done
brilliant. He’s come in and did something that we weren’t
expecting, which was to score 22 goals after playing up front for
most of the season.
"He’s warmed to the supporters and
they’ve loved every minute of it.
"He started up front and he’s never
looked back."
Burns’ award came during the club’s
end-of-season celebrations at Princes Park on Friday night.
Also walking away with silverware
were Adam Gross (players’ player), Elliot Bradbrook (manager’s
player), James White (young player) and Danny Harris
(Leach/Towersey memorial shield – Pure DFC player of the year and
Grassbank away player). The vice-president’s player-of-the-year
award also went to Burns.
Burman chose midfielder Bradbrook
for his award after the midfielder came back from two months out
with ankle ligament damage.
"He’s been an excellent player for
us and we missed him when he wasn’t in the side," said Burman.
