Andoni Iraola was named the Third Rail’s Unsung Hero of 2016 on Friday night and his coach couldn’t think of a more deserving recipient for the award.
Iraola and Vieira were both in attendance along with David Villa and RJ Allen at the supporters’ club End of Season party at the Playwright Pub on West 35th Street to celebrate an historic season with the fans.
Speaking after Andoni was given the award which is given to the player who may not receive the same recognition as the men scoring and assisting goals, Vieira expressed his delight with Andoni’s contributions throughout the 2016 campaign.
