Alan Judge’s role in Brentford’s vital Sky Bet Championship win away to Reading on Saturday has earned him special recognition from the Football League.
The Irish attacking midfield player scored one and made one as The Bees beat Reading 2-0 at the Madjeski Stadium on Saturday, April 25.
He arrived inside the six-yard-box to volley home an Andre Gray cross to put Brentford in front inside the first ten minutes and then delivered a free kick for James Tarkowski to head the second after half time.
The win keeps Brentford in the hunt for a Sky Bet Championship Play-Off place and gave Alan a spot in the Football League Team of the Week.
The team, published on the Football League website, is drawn from the performances over the previous seven days in all three Sky Bet Football League divisions.
Brentford have been well represented in the Team of the Week this year with Alex Pritchard featuring twice, after helping The Bees to wins over Norwich City at the end of January and then AFC Bournemouth in February.
Jake Bidwell was picked after setting up two goals as The Bees beat Brighton and Hove Albion 3-2 in September and Jonathan Douglas was named after scoring twice in a week, against Watford and Reading, at the start of October.
After The Bees beat Nottingham Forest and Millwall away in the space of three days at the start of November, Andre Gray, who scored three goals in the two wins was selected, and Brentford Manager Mark Warburton was named as best boss that week.
Jota has also been named once – after scoring a spectacular goal in Brentford’s win at Cardiff City just before Christmas – while Jon Toral was selected after hitting a hat-trick in Brentford’s win over Blackpool in February and David Button was picked after helping The Bees to a draw away to Ipswich and home win over Huddersfield Town.
Brentford players out on loan have also been selected with Alfie Mawson, who is at Wycombe Wanderers, named twice – once earlier this month and once in December.
Nico Yennaris was nominated after setting up the winner for Wycombe, where he is on loan, against Shrewsbury Town.
And Will Grigg’s four goals in three days over the Easter weekend for Milton Keynes Dons earned him a spot.
