DAVE ROBERTS proudly shows off his trophy at St Mary's after being named Premier League Groundsman of the Year.
It was the third time that Saints and Roberts, pictured, had been nominated for the prestigious trophy and it proved to be third time lucky as they scooped the top award at a London ceremony.
Roberts, who was flanked by his assistants Andy Gray and Ricky Rawlings, said: "It's an honour to win this award but it's a team effort - without Andy and Ricky we couldn't have done it."
Roberts beat off competition from Arsenal and Manchester City in the final three to land the prize award, which is now displayed in the St Mary's trophy cabinet.
