The Soccer Writers Association of Ireland Personality of the Year[1] is an annual award for the person considered to have made the most positive impact on the domestic League of Ireland season.
Instigated in 1961 - when Drumcondra's Dan McCaffrey was the winner - it is one of the few awards that can be given to either a player or manager. In fact, the recipient in 1964 was FAI secretary Joe Wickham.
The award is organised by the Soccer Writes' Association of Ireland.[2]
