Stephen Crainey capped off an incredible start to his career at Bloomfield Road by being named Player of the Year in his first full campaign (2007-08). The left-back was acknowledged for his consistent performances in the Championship by his fellow professionals and the Blackpool supporters.
The former Celtic youth product joined the club on a free-transfer from Leeds United in 2007 and quickly became one of the first names on the teamsheet.
His great form has seen him quickly become a fans' favourite for his consistency. After a couple of injury problems in the 2008-09 season the Scot returned to form under Ian Holloway and started 43 league games last term. He will now look to keep up his impressive performances in the top-flight as he chases a return to the international fold with Scotland.
