The Annual Sports Awards 2006

ON 6 April, at Liverpool Town Hall, the City held the Annual Sports Awards ceremony, hosted by Alan Jackson and Charles Lambert, and supported by Capita. This year thirteen Liverpool athletes, who between them won seven medals in this year’s Commonwealth Games, were guests of honour at the ceremony. They joined in the presentation of awards, as did the former Commonwealth Swimming Champion and Olympic Medalist Stephen Parry, and Andy Worthington, Chair of North West Sport, to the delight of the young recipients. Also participating was Councillor Warren Bradley, leader of Liverpool City Council.

A spokesperson said:- “The Annual Sports Awards provide a shop window for excellence, and really emphasis how well the city is performing, both nationally and internationally. It is especially fitting that we are celebrating our huge success at the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, during the year of Liverpool Performs.

Previous years’ award winners have gone on to even greater achievements. They include Wayne Rooney, Steve Smith,
Beth Tweddle and Stephen Parry."

This year there were more than 80 individual and team awards for outstandingly good performances, both nationally and internationally. This, in a year of unprecedented success for sport in Liverpool, over a very wide field of events. Special awards were also presented, including a new “Step into Sport Volunteers Award”. This Scheme, begun in 2002, encourages youngsters, 16 to 19, to become involved in promoting their field of special interest. 200 hours of commitment equals a Gold Award.

COACH OF THE YEAR was awarded to Stan Robert of Liverpool Harriers, for his many years service to the club, which has helped them achieve tremendous successes.
