TURKISH midfield ace Tugay was presented with a special trophy to mark his outstanding contribution to the club at Blackburn Rovers' annual player of the year awards night.

The Maestro, as he is known to some of his team-mates, got a standing ovation when he stepped forward to collect the award, which was presented in honour of his seven years' loyal service to the club.

It remains to be seen whether the 37-year-old will still be at Ewood Park next season, with manager Mark Hughes delaying a decision over whether to offer him a new contract until Rovers' destiny is decided in the race for Europe.
