Windsor midfielder Danny Horscroft is our first double nomination this year for the Berkshire Football Awards picking up a nod for Goal of the Season and Player of the Season.
Horscroft has been a popular figure for the Royalists for a number of seasons now – and this is despite taking his guitar into the changing room on at least one occasion.
The nomination for Danny’s Player of the Season award said: “Danny has been a very consistent player for us this season and has scored some crucial goals. He has proven to be an important player in the team by being awarded the captain’s armband halfway through the season. As well as being good on the pitch, he is a gentleman off the pitch and certainly deserves this nomination.”
Meanwhile the Goal of the Season nomination comes off the back of a superb consolation goal for Windsor during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat against Reading City. You absolutely have to see it for yourself:

Scroll down to the bottom of this article for the nomination form. Before you do that though, here’s what the judging panel are looking for when choosing the shortlist.
What’s the story? Tell us exactly why the person or place should be considered. We hate to get all ‘X Factor journey’ on you but the more detail you can include, the better we can argue for your nominee for the short list.
The sort of details we love to see include things like player awards, goals, clean sheets and any other significant contributions to the footballing community – obviously within the 2024/25 season.
We’ll publish all the nominees for the Berkshire Football Awards as we receive them.
You can view all the 2025 nominees so far here.
Want to know who’s previously won what at the Berkshire Football Awards? There’s a big long page with all the previous winners here.
Nominations will be open until midday on Monday 26th May 2025.
The Long List will be published on Wednesday 28th May and the Short List on Friday 30th May.
Once the nomination window has closed, the nominations in each category will be put before a panel of judges for a decision, the top four announced online and the winners at the awards night on Wednesday 18th June.
We will accept nominations for people out of area, the only prerequisite is that the reason for nomination is that it must be because of an affiliation with a club we cover on Football in Berkshire (a full list is at the bottom of this page). We will present certificates and a trophy to the winners.
- All nominations are done by you, the Berkshire footballing public
- You can nominate as many people as you like for each award – the quantity of nominations counts for the judging panel..
- That said, quality is just as important, the more detail you provide about why you are nominating, the better
- Please try and avoid nominating your own family members
- Due to difficulties in obtaining permissions under child protection laws we won’t consider any player under the age of 16 for nomination in any of the categories
