Source: M.E.N. no online contentM.E.N. SPORT journalist Stuart Brennan has made history after being voted the Football Supporters' Federation Writer of the Year - the first provincial paper correspondent to receive the award.
Malcom Clarke, the Federation chairman, said: "Stuart received nominations from both United and FC United's fans who are among the 130,000 members of our organisation and our council had to decide from a shortlist.
"Stuart proved he has courage in his reporting of the Glazer issue at United and in the way he has covered FC United during their inaugural season, to be a worthy winner of this award.
"Stuart's excellent journalism shone through as did the paper's perceptive coverage of the Glazer takeover and the setting-up of FC United."
Jules Spencer, and FC United board member and club spokesman, added: "Stuart has been a long-time champion of supporters' causes going back many years and he was the first to recognise that FC United should not be dismissed as a futile ambition.
"He, together with the M.E.N. website, and of course the paper, have been great supporters to FC United which we all appreciate."
Brennan, 42, who has been at the M.E.N. for eight years, received his award on the pitch at Gigg Lane, Bury, ahead of FC United's Supporters Direct Cup match against AFC Wimbledon.
