The fans poll confirmed Joey as winner in what turned out to be a true celebration bash at the "Home of Football" (Turf Moor) yesterday evening. 

The Clarets midfielder was named amongst the winners alongside Ben Mee, Andre Gray and Scott Arfield. 

After a quite magnificent season, where the champions kept 20 clean sheets, Mee was named by his teammates as the Players’ Player of the Year. 

Scott Arfield’s strike against Blackburn Rovers was voted the club’s goal of the season by the fans and Andre Gray was awarded the top goalscorer prize. 

Clarets' legend Michael Duff confirmed what seemed inevitable in announcing his retirement and will now take up a coaching role within the Academy. 

Burnley Football Club are confirmed as this season's SKY Bet Championship winners.
