Frederik Rönnow completes his hat trick

What had only ever been previously achieved by Jan Glinker (2007–2009) has now by Union's current number one. For the third consecutive time, the Union fans have voted Frederik Rönnow as Union Footballer of the Year – with a convincing 3,221 votes (48.5% share). In the past season, the Dane played in 30 matches (28 in the league, two in the Cup) and kept nine clean sheets. With a save rate of 67%, he proved once again to be the backbone of the team. In addition, he, along with St. Pauli's Nikola Vasilj, had the best penalty statistics of all Bundesliga goalkeepers, saving four out of five spot-kicks against him. He will be given his award on Saturday at the Bundesliga opener against VfB Stuttgart.
