\u201cWhen I was handed my new position on the left I was terribly upset since I had never played there.

But there were people who backed me and never gave up on me and I would like to thank them for that,\u201d said Chhetri who, with 14 goals, was also the joint top scorer of the League.<\/p>\n
Osano, who received his award from BFC chairman Sajjan Jindal, was happily surprised at receiving the honour.<\/p>\n

Johnson picked up the \u2018Goal of the Season\u2019.<\/p>\n
