On loan goalkeeper Dean Henderson won Community Player and Young Player of the Year while Chris Basham won the goal of the season competition.

Celebrations carried on long into the night but Sheffield Wednesday fans weren’t too impressed by the night’s entertainment.

Farley, famous for his impersonations of sporting characters, had the crowd in stitches as he did his best Bruce impression.

In the clip, Farley can be heard saying he was ‘absolutely ******* furious that Sheffield United had been promoted’ and that he was ‘in the Carribean six months ago watching cricket’.

The impressionist pretends to have made a mistake at which club he has taken over, believing he had signed to be manager of Sheffield United.

Bruce was named as the new Sheffield Wednesday manager on January 2 but only took up his post in February due to personal reasons.

The Owls have gone from strength to strength under Bruce, losing just two of their 17 games under the former Manchester United defender.
