The National Soccer Hall of Fame is proud to announce the establishment of the Colin Jose Media Award to recognize members of the media who have made significant contributions to the game throughout their writing and/or broadcasting careers. “The media in all its forms play a significant role in the growth of the game,” Hall of Fame President/CEO Will Lunn stated. “The Hall of Fame is determined to recognize the best of these men and women. It is also with great pride that the Hall of Fame names this award for noted journalist and historian Colin Jose, who has done so much to report and record the history of soccer in North America!” “ This award is something I believe is an important step for soccer,” Colin Jose said. “However, the idea that the Board of Directors would chose to name it for me never crossed my mind. Writing about the game has always been close to my heart, not my career, and it was it’s own reward for me. There are many others for whom this Award could have been named – What an honor!”
