Francis Fernandes is one of the six nominees for the Fans' Player of the Year award in the FPAI Indian Football Awards 2012. Fernandes has been a mainstay in Salgaocar’s midfield throughout this campaign. His exemplary work rate and consistency has seen him turnout 21 times for the Goan side scoring 3 goals in the league. His rich vein of form had also earned him an India call up from Savio Medeira. It is no surprise hence that he finds himself nominated as a Player of the Year contender.
We asked him a few questions on his nomination;
1. How happy are you to be nominated for the FPAI?
I’m very happy to be nominated for the FPAI Fans' Player of the Year award. I am the only Goan on the list and it is an honour to be nominated amongst such big players.

I am not concerned about winning, I am very happy to be nominated.
3. Is there anyone you would like to thank for your success?
I would like to thank all my teammates, my coaches, the management, all the supporting fans and the all mighty God.
