AN awards ceremony for the beautiful game in this country is LONG overdue.

We celebrate film at the Baftas, music at the Brits and telly at the NTAs.
But there has been nothing on the calendar for genuine football fans — until now.
The Sun is teaming up with THE FOOTIES — football’s answer to the Oscars — to host a massive end-of-season celebration of the nation’s favourite game.
Fans will have the chance to be at the star-studded night featuring live performances from some of the biggest bands in the country and sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Premier League heroes.
You will also decide WHO is the REAL player of the season.
The Sun is the official newspaper partner, and our brilliant Goals App will be the chance for you to choose THE goal of the season.
One of the event founders, Manchester United defender RIO FERDINAND, said: “We are staging The Footies because we want it to become the most unique awards event in the calendar.
“It will combine and celebrate the huge passion there is for football in this country, together with another proud British export — music.
“It is an absolute first.
“Along with the prestigious football awards there will be live music throughout the evening by leading artists who have a love for football.”
One man supporting the event knows a thing or two about the connection between football and music. JAMES CORDEN hosts Sky1 hit A League Of Their Own, filmed sketches as his Gavin & Stacey character Smithy with top players for Comic Relief and has hosted the Brits three times.
He also brought the house down at The GQ Awards accepting a gong. James said: “I think The Footies is going to become a date in the diary for many years to come. Football and rock ’n’ roll — together at last.
“It’s going to be epic and I for one can’t wait.”
A shortlist for each of the award categories will be sought from the public online at thefooties.co.uk, complemented by submissions from The Footies panel of judges.
Final voting on each category will then take place, running right through until one hour before The Footies awards event on the night.
Keep your eyes on The Sun, Goals and thefooties.co.uk for big announcements over the next few weeks and months.
