KEMAR Roofe was humbled by the reception he was given from Oxford United’s supporters while picking up three prizes at the end of season awards.

The forward’s 26 goals in his first full season in senior football earned him the golden boot.

Roofe’s stunning strike against Brentford was voted goal of the season by those attending Sunday’s ceremony at the Kassam Stadium, even if the 23-year-old’s own favourite was his free-kick at Dagenham & Redbridge.

He shared the players' player award with Liam Sercombe.

Roofe’s campaign saw him collect a host of accolades in recent weeks, but the United star admitted hearing the packed room chanting his name was a special moment.

He said: “It’s good, of course. I do like it a lot, but I’m a bit shy about it.

“It’s my first full season and it’s gone well. We’ve achieved everything we set to do.

“All the awards are at my parents’ house. It’s good to get rewarded for a good season.”

Sercombe played more minutes than anyone at United during a marathon campaign, making an incredible 55 starts.

The midfielder was thrilled to be acknowledged alongside Roofe by his teammates after moving from Exeter City 12 months ago.

He said: “It means a lot to me.

“Roofey scoring 26 goals is a lot and for them to vote me jointly with him means a lot coming from the players.

“It shows they like what I do and appreciate what I do.

“It’s a great feeling.”

For the second season running Danny Hylton went home with the Andrew Knapton Trophy, voted for by United’s supporters.

The forward said: “I thank all of them.

“For some reason they have seemed to take to me and you get a real lift when you hear your song being sung.

“I’m just delighted we’ve given them something to cheer about all season.”

The young player of the year award, named after Jack Casley, United’s first professional player and former chief scout who developed young talent, went to Robbie Cundy.

The 18-year-old made his senior debut against Dagenham & Redbridge last November and signed a new contract in March after impressing on loan at Vanarama National League North side Gloucester City.

He said: “Playing every game against experienced ex-pros like Lee Hughes and Marlon Harewood has helped me a lot.

“I just need to fill out a bit now and hopefully push on to the first team next season. Seeing your team win promotion that just makes you want to be on the pitch and be a part of it.”

ONE of the most popular winners on the night was Angie Spackman, who was named club person of the year.

It was reward for showing thousands of mascots and their families around the Kassam Stadium and the Manor Ground over 30 years.

Spackman (pictured), who is now stepping down from the role but intends to return as a spectator, was surprised to be honoured.

“I’m totally gobsmacked,” she said.

“It’s nice to be appreciated, I didn’t do it for this, I just did it to get young families and kids involved with Oxford United.

“The new juniors are our future supporters, so I’ve always tried to make it a special day for them. I’ve had so much fun here meeting different sorts of people, I’ve really enjoyed myself.”

United Women’s captain Kat Nutman picked up the community contribution award for her work away from the pitch.

She said: “It’s one of the reasons we all love football is that it has such massive power to create real change and do real good across the community.

“That’s what the club wants to achieve across Oxfordshire and I think we’re making steps to do that.”

Nutman’s teammate Ella Franklin-Fraiture was named emerging talent in the Women’s Super League side.

The unsung hero award was jointly won by video analyst Dan Bond and Cheryl Cooper, PA to chairman Darryl Eales.
