The nominees were; Joey Barton, Andy Johnson & Nedum Onuoha. Joey Barton has become a fan favourite since his return from his loan with French side Marseille at the end of the 12/13 season, despite sending several Tweets airing his desires to not return to QPR and play Championship Football. With solid performances helping QPR fans to overlook his negative past and focus on the future, which for now (at least) seems committed to QPR.
He tweeted this afterwards... Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton 4h @OfficialQPR thanks also to my teammates, without whom nothing would be possible. Anyone of 5/6 could have had a claim to the award. #team and this.... Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton 4h @OfficialQPR thank you to all that voted. Been some great performances by the team so far so happy to win this award. and also sadly this ...... Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton 19h The thoughts of me and my family go out to Josè Anigo, his family and all at Olympique Marseille right now. Sorry to hear the tragic news. What a terrible and shocking story... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-23981618
I think someone has been coaching him on the PR as now hes saying all the right things putting the team ahead of himself.
Could be! I hope he is just getting older and wiser. His comment about being humbled by the undeserved support he got in the Sheff Weds game was one of his best. Both his game and his talk seem to have matured since he rejoined us this summer, but it's "early doors"! Congratulations anyway Joey!
