2013 Winners
Now in its second year, the Football Blogging Awards 2013 took a huge step in its achievements. Just like football blogging in general, the last 12 months has come on in leaps on bounds.
Hosted at the National Football Museum, over 200 football bloggers arrived and eagerly anticipated the announcements of the winners. Just like any good football team there were 11 spots up for grabs.
In total, 30,965 votes were cast through Facebook, Twitter and Sportlobster, and attendees that stretched as far as Estonia, wined and dined with guests from Sky Sports, BBC Sport, Manchester Evening News as well as legendary footballer Mike Summerbee.
Guests browsed the amazing surroundings at the museum before presenter Natalie Pike kicked off proceedings and introduced the crowd to the partners and sponsors before showing the Football Blogging Awards introduction video and declaring the buffet open.
When awards were being dished out, twitter grabbed hold of the situation and The Football Blogging Awards were mentioned over 1,000 times in less than two hours without counting the multiple retweets.
First up for grabs was the Best Male Blog Award. Sponsored by Campo, Mike Summerbee took to the stage and announced the winner as ArsenalFanTV. Next up was the Best Female Blog Award which was given to Anna Louise Adams and presented by Women in Sport Magazine.

The winner of the Best New Blog Award received the highest votes out of all bloggers and to take the crown FourFourTweet walked to the stage as JD Sports handed over the glass award and certificate.
