Amendments may be made following consultation with both the fanbase and the club. The representatives involved in the Voice of the Fans will also be reviewed on a regular basis within the same manner.

Forward Callum Roberts made history on Tuesday night at the Glow Aesthetics End of Season Awards Dinner after being voted as the Ernie Storey Memorial Player of the Season for 2025-26 by Iron supporters for a second successive season.

In doing so, he became the first player to ever win the accolade twice, and in doing so, the first to win it back-to-back.

In his third year at the club, after scooping a whole host of awards 12 months ago, Roberts has continued his form into the National League season this term, notching 20 goals in all competitions so far, and a number of other goal contributions by way of assists.

As well as the main accolade, Roberts also picked up recognition by way of another four awards, as listed below, while midfielder Joe Rowley also equalled his tally with five on the night, including the season ticket holder's selection for the season, and recognition from various supporter's groups.

There was also recognition for Will Evans for his services to the community, an unsung hero award for Tyler Denton, goal of the season for Alfie Beestin, and player's player for Danny Whitehall, amongst other accolades dished out on the night.

Elsewhere, evening sponsors Glow Aesthetics also chose their award to go to Callum Roberts.

Thanks to everyone who voted.

Former Iron player Josh Morris will be the guest speaker in the restaurant when the Iron host the play-off eliminator on Tuesday, April 28th (7.45pm kick-off).

A prolific and flair-filled winger, Josh Morris enjoyed a remarkable spell with the club, becoming one of the club’s most dangerous attacking outlets. Across his spell with the Iron, he made over 125 appearances and scored 37 goals, combining creativity with a keen eye for goal from wide areas and dead ball situations.

Morris was instrumental during the 2016–17 season, hitting an outstanding 19 league goals and earning a place in the PFA Team of the Year as Scunthorpe pushed for promotion in League One. Known for his direct running, crossing ability, and knack for scoring spectacular strikes, he became a fan favourite at Glanford Park. Early in the season, such was his goalscoring habits, he was the leading marksman in the whole of Europe at one point.

Former Iron player Paul Harsley will be the guest speaker in the restaurant when the Iron host Eastleigh on Saturday, April 25th (12.30pm kick-off).

A hometown midfielder who rose through the lower leagues, Paul Harsley became a key figure for Scunthorpe United in the late 1990s, making over 120 league appearances after joining in 1997. Energetic and versatile, he played a crucial role in the club’s 1998–99 promotion campaign, even featuring at Wembley in the Division Three play-off final. His performances that season earned him the club’s Player of the Year award, underlining his importance to the side. 

Harsley spent four solid seasons with the Iron, establishing himself as a dependable midfield presence before moving on in 2001. Though he later enjoyed spells across the Football League, his time at Scunthorpe remains notable as the foundation of his career and a period where he developed into a proven, hardworking professional.

He also worked as part of the club's academy in later years, returning to the side as Centre of Excellence co-ordinator in January 2011. He would leave following the 2014-15 campaign.
