Southend United goalkeeper Bart Griemink today revealed he had been shocked to win League Two's player of the month for December.
The Dutch custodian kept three clean sheets in five impressive outings but was still not expecting to pick up the gong.
"I was very surprised by it all to be perfectly honest," said the experienced 32-year-old.
"But I didn't know anything about it at all until my dad rang me up. He had been looking on the internet and managed to find it out so it was him who broke the news to me."
