Rotherham United midfielder Dan Barlaser has beaten off stern competition to land the Goal of the Season Award for the 2021/22 season for his sensational volley against Accrington Stanley back in February.
Competition was high, with two sumptuous finishes from Ben Wiles, a Freddie Ladapo rockets, a long-range piledriver from Ollie Rathbone and an effort from distance from Michael Smith all nominated for the award, sponsored by Cascade Drainage.
Dubbed the ‘Geordie Pirlo’ by supporters, Dan watched the ball come down from the sky and executed a volley that even the Italian midfielder would have been proud of and it certainly impressed attendees at tonight’s 2021/22 Season Dinner, too, who helped Dan to victory via the vote.
