WPLFC would like to congratulate Shaun Barker for winning the NFL Division 1 Fairest and Best for 2012.
For those of us lucky enough to see Shaun play on a weekly basis are probably too familiar with his football ability to appreciate it. Shaun is a prolific midfielder who is damaging with the ball in his hands and inside 50. He is one of those goal-kicking midfielders that everyone looks for but are so hard to find.
Barks, as he is known, has been a sensational player all season and thoroughly deserves the accolade. His leadership and match winning ability on the field are unparalleled. In many cases, Shaun is an unheralded star of the club and competition. He is very unassuming in his approach to football but it is not hard to see why the he has been awarded the best player in the competition.
A pin point left foot and remarkably clean skills in a contested situation have clearly alerted the attention of the umpires. Shaun will have bigger things on his mind come Saturday as he represents WPLFC in their quest for a Grand Final victory.
Congratulations and well done Shaun Barker.
