Mark, who received a Premier League Community Captain armband, pennant and trophy as part of his award, was overjoyed by this recognition.
Mark said: “It means the world to win the Premier League Community Captain award. Being here since I was eight and all the hard work I’ve put in, volunteering, coaching and the constant progression I’ve had, I think it shows that it is recognised.
“We all know how busy Michael is at the minute, so for him to take time out of his schedule to come down is incredible. He’s been so important for us here over the last eight years. It shows how much he values the work we’re doing and it shows how much this means to him.”
