On receiving the awards, Berge said: "This means a lot to me. Burnley is a fantastic football club.

“I love coming into work every single day and being part of such a special club with so many great people. They’re a fantastic group to be part of.”

Berge added: “The support [from the fans] has been amazing. It’s been special for me.

“The fans have been fantastic. For them to be there week in and week out and cheer for us, that’s what we do it for. We’re so thankful for them.”
