Pepe Reina Modestly Accepts Another Award From Club Fans

Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina has reiterated his determination to keep playing well for the Reds after receiving an award from a supporters' group.

The Liverpool Disabled Supporters Association (LDSA) has named Reina Player of the Season for 2009-10, and the Spaniard was delighted to receive another plaudit.

The 28-year-old also vowed to keep working hard and improving, for the fans' sake as much as his own.

"It's a wonderful thing because it means the people have recognized my job, although when a goalkeeper is voted the best member of the team, it means we have not done so well," Reina told his club's official website.

"But still it is good to be rewarded with this prize and I am very, very proud. I'm really grateful to the fans for their support - and it's even more special to win this award from the members of the LDSA.

"It's nice to be here, speak to the fans, see the smiles on their faces and try to make them happier."
