The Annual Football Blogging Awards were held at the Etihad Stadium last week: the event is designed to recognise and celebrate the achievements of football's most prolific social influencers, bloggers, vloggers and Youtubers.

There were a series of awards on offer, which was spread over nineteen categories, including Best Influencer, Best New Content Creator and Best Podcast. Both the fans and the Judges crowned a winner for each category, doubling the competitors' chance of taking home some silverware.

Emma Jones, the current Leeds United TV presenter, was an exceptional host at the most prestigious football content creation event of the year.

Here are all the best photos displaying how the night unfolded...
