Each year the Society gives this award to the person(s) who, in the opinion of members, has done the most to promote and preserve the heritage of Brighton & Hove Albion during the previous 12 months.
The award is named after our late member Roger Harris (1941–99) who co-wrote two definitive works on the Albion in the 1990s.
