"I was in two minds about going because you never want to make these things about you."

Not many people would think twice about attending a glitzy ceremony to pick up an award of recognition for their hard work.

But Norwich City full-back Jack Stacey's modest statement reflects his approach towards working for the club's Community Sports Foundation.

The 28-year-old attended a CSF Takeover day at Norwich's Carrow Road home last season and met some of the children with physical and mental disabilities who attend the 'Realising Potential' group.

And it led to him being named the Championship's Community Player of the Season at an event at the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday evening, at which Norwich took the Community Club of the Season award.

"The impact we can have as players because of our platform can really make a difference," Stacey told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"The majority of them are at Carrow Road every other Saturday cheering us on so, for them, it's amazing to be able to meet the players that are on the pitch and it's led to having some really good relationships with these children.

"They feel they can open up to me on things they maybe wouldn't have to other adults in the past."
