Johnny Warren Medal

The Johnny Warren Medal is awarded to the best player of the Australian national football (soccer) club competition. It was first awarded in the National Soccer League in 1990, and upon the NSL's demise in November 2004, was carried forward into the new national club competition, the A-League.
