Award 8: The Popie
By definition, the Popie award goes to United's best defensive player in 2009. The award's namesake
is former national team defender Eddie Pope. Not only is Pope widely recognized as the best
defender in United's history, but he is also responsible for the most important goal in United's
history.
Last year's winner was Bryan Namoff with over 50% of the vote.
