Ross Tokely, who broke Charlie Christie's appearance record earlier in the season has created another bit of history by winning every single end of season award - the first time this has ever happened.

At the end of this season, our first in the SPL, the team have made many critics eat their words (and a few hats !!) with the quality of their performances and the determination that the players showed to succeed. There is no-one who embodies that spirit and determination more than Ross Tokely.

Ross has managed to have the last laugh on all of his doubters by not only breaking Charlie Christie's all-time appearance record for Caley Thistle during the season but also by scooping every single end of season award, a feat which has never been done before.

Ross's first award came after the final game of the season against Dundee United when he was named as the Supporters Player of the Year.

The Supporters's Player of the Year award is the award that home fans attending the last match of the season decide on by filling in a ballot at the stadium.

This award is highly desired as it is voted on by the supporters and is indicative of consistent performances throughout the season. Ross won this award by a huge margin. He can be seen in the picture on the left accepting the award from Caley Thistle's 'Super Fan' Ann Nicol.

Another award that is highly prized is the Players' Player of the Year trophy as this is voted on by the winner's fellow professionals in the squad and Ross was also awarded this trophy.

Ross was not finished picking up silverware and later in the evening he picked up another four awards at the Supporter's Club end of season function in the Loch Ness Hotel.

The Matchday Programme Player of the year is tallied up by program editor Bryan Munro and points for this are awarded throughout the season.

Ross won this award also and can be seen here with Bryan Munro (centre) and his father Jim.

Ross had no sooner sat down from this award than he was back up to collect another. This time it was the Supporters Club Player of the Year. Ross also won this last year and added it to his growing tally for season 2004/05.

Over the last five years the CaleyThistleOnline.com Player of the Year has started to become valued by the players too.

This trophy is voted on over the course of the season by the supporters who attend games and vote after each game for the top performances in matches. The points are tallied up over the season and it takes consistency over the complete season to win this. Ross won this award by quite some distance and it takes something special for a player to win it by the margin that Ross did this season. Previous winners of this trophy have been Bobby Mann, Barry Robson, Stuart Golabek and Liam Keogh.

Simon MacDonald (you might know him best as 'Bronson' from the website) can be seen above awarding Ross with the trophy for this season which has seen him draw plaudits from almost everyone.

CaleyJags.com initiated a Player of the Year award last season and gave it to Mark Brown. This award is chosen by those who run the CaleyJags.com website and Ross managed to make it a clean sweep of all the awards by winning this one too !!!

Ross can be seen here accepting the trophy from Linsey Paul.

Caley Thistle fans have always applauded loyalty, determination and effort from our players which is why Ross has always been a huge fan favourite. We are sure the fans will continue to get behind Ross in the coming seasons and hopefully he can join the likes of Charlie Christie and Jim Calder who are held in the highest regard as Caley Thistle legends.

Ross might still be too young (26) to be classed as a 'legend' for now, but if he continues to perform as he has for the last 9 years in Caley Thistle colours he will surely set an appearance record that will never be broken and will truly be regarded as a legend in the same way as Christie and Calder.

Charlie Christie, the previous appearance record holder had this to say about Ross breaking his record "I am delighted that it has been a local ‘Highland lad' who has overtaken my proud record. I have enjoyed many great results playing alongside Roscoe with ICT and I have been delighted that he has enjoyed such a terrific season at the top level. To think that we have achieved so much this year with three out of our back four being local lads (Tokely,Munro & Golabek) is unbelievable and gives a huge incentive to all the keen young players at the club."

As Caley Thistle fans most of us also firmly believe that his next step-up should be to catch the eye of the national team manager and add the award of a Scotland international cap to his bulging trophy cabinet. Those of us who have delighted in watching his performances over the last 9 years know he is up to the challenge and we look forward to perhaps another 9 years of Rossco in the Red and Blue !!!

Well Done Ross - more of the same please ...
