Finnish goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen has been chosen by the readers as the Walking Down The Manny Road player of the year for the 2006-2007 season after putting in a string of impressive performances over the last nine months.

The 32-year old was an everpresent for Bolton in the Premiership for the second season in succession and he had a memorable campaign with the club as he approaches ten years of service at the Reebok Stadium.

Runner up Gary Speed appeared in the most games for the Wanderers last season despite his advancing years and he scored his best tally of goals for the club since arriving from Newcastle United three years ago.

In third place was El-Hadji Diouf who proved that he had put his off the field problems behind him to set up goals as well as score them. Although he only found the net five times his creativeness proved a vital outlet for Bolton throughout the year.
