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.
Player of the Year - Roque Santa Cruz.

Ha ha, your team is a complete joke!
Shouldn't you be on the Claret pages moaning about how rubbish your team is and how Brenda Flood is lying to you with the rest of the bitter little dingles? It's soooo easy taking the mick out of you daft little chumps!
LOL at Burnley FC.

I can't believe he thought this would provoke any rovers fans. I mean come on you dingles is that the best you can do?
Shame for you Rovers is such a well run club,that all the **** you throw never sticks but takes the spin of a boomerang right back at the turf moor. and what kind of name for a stadium is turf moor? was it jane austin that named your ground? haha! But it was smart of you to bring in alan mahon to learn you few tricks from your superior rival Rovers!
and I've seen your squad of unsworth,cole,akinbi
yi
are you trying to pretend its 1997? or are you just an elderly home in the 1st division? Shame you don't have frank sinclair anymore. I've heard he was the best player ever to grace the turf moor,haha! and our legendary striker is shearer and yours is andy payton! Andy Payton! he's not even half as good as jay boothroyd! ( which is jason roberts in disguise )

christ, are we bothered what he did or didn't say?? He's a quality player who enjoys playing for his home town Premier League Club. The worlds full of players saying how much they love playing at Burnley, eh - especially after saturday!

I remember andy payton from his barnsley days, which just proves my point that proves burnley are a second rate club for old players who can't hack it in the premier league.
you turf moor muppets couldn't even get the ball past Herbie Arthur, hahaha!
on a more serious note,it does look like the maestro have to hang up his boots for rovers. It would be weird to give someone an outstanding contribution award to the club after seven years, and then extend their contract.

Maybe you all should be thinking of getting all the Local teams back in the Prem, instead of **** at each other.
There is little money for teams like blackburn, burnley, bolton, preston, & the rest so start to think out of your little squares & open your minds for a change, it would be good to see more derby games with full grounds.???
i rest my case

Yes, I hate playing in the premiership, for a club that is chasing europe.
It is so depressing getting to the training ground and seeing players like Bentley, Santa Cruz, Mcarthy, and Tugay at brockhall.
I wish i was playing for a massive championship club like Burnley, alongside greats like Varga, and Randall. I wish i was at selhurst park on sunday, losing 5-0 to a class side like palace, wheras rovers only managed a draw against average man utd the other week.

I'm constantly amazed that the LET are prepared to allow people to post racist or insulting nonsense at the foot of every story they publish online.
Is there no admin?
Hardly the greatest PR to have this kind of nonsense along side their journalism.
Come on L.E.T clean up these comments and stop allowing racists to tarnish your image

Please can we dispense with the vile racism that is being posted on these pages by a minority of 'non-Rovers' fans. Some more IP addresses need to be banned!!!
The article is about Tugay who is as good a player as any that have played in the Premiership, and he's played for the Rovers for 7 years - now that's pretty special.
I hope we can do something for him next year, he's a unique talent.

I hope the Rovers give Tugay another 1 year contract. He is a class act. I only manage to get over for a couple of games per year but I always hope he is playing. He is my sons favorite player. With regards to all the dingles replying on here, get a life. Concentrate on your own club, not someone else's. Most forum boards have a moderator, maybe they should get one on here to delete all the crap that is posted.

I love the way football brings people together. reading the childish, spiteful comments between Burnley and Blackburn fans makes me realise what a pathetic pastime football really is if this is the level of hatered it engenders.
Get a life people, its only a silly game.
Another interesting aspect is that in all the other areas of this website people spend hours complaining about how foreigners are flooding into Britain and taking our jobs and houses, yet the same bigots seem happy to watch teams that have few British players in them?
