Over the last week voting has taken place and Ormerod, whose side beat the Hornets 2-1, polled 43% of the votes registered for his goal and assist that put the Saints into the final.

Of the other candidates for the award, Sheffield United's Michael Brown got 41% after his impressive midfield display against Arsenal whilst Gunners' 'keeper David Seaman collected 16% for his performance in the same game, including THAT save, that kept the Blades out and sent Wenger's men to Cardiff.

As well as receiving the award, Ormerod will be asked to nominate a local school or club to recive £1000 worth of training kit donated by FA partner Umbro.
