Big Bad John Welsh Player of the Year

Last updated : 01 July 2003 By Kevin Smith
It is the third time the big man has won the award - equalling Mark Hughes' record.

Hartson was vital to Wales' recent success in their qualifying matches for Euro 2004, as well as being instrumental in Celtic's UEFA Cup run.

All in all he has scored 49 goals last season.

Hartson is still recovering from a back injury which made him miss the UEFA Cup Funal, but we can only hope he will be back for the start of next season.

Well done to the big man!
