RYAN Ledson scooped three trophies at Oxford United’s end of season awards dinner.

The midfielder received the Andrew Knapton Trophy as voted for by supporters before kick-off in the U’s 2-1 win against Rochdale.

He followed it up with the Jack Casley young player of the award at the ceremony in front of 250 people at the Kassam Stadium.

And the 20-year-old completed a hat-trick with goal of the season, for his dramatic late winner at Charlton Athletic coming out on top in a poll on the night.

Ricardinho was a popular winner of the award voted for by the players, while former chairman Darryl Eales was honoured with the club person of the year.

Terry Waite, who works on maintaining the training ground, was named the unsung hero.
