Pop Poll d'Echte
This price is awarded by the fans. It's an election held by ''d'Echte'', a Cercle Brugge supporters association. The election is held in two rounds. At the last home game before the winter break, and at the last home game of the season, supporters can receive a paper and vote for 3 players. The player who has most votes after the second round, wins the ''Pop Poll''. The main criteria held into account are the performances on the pitch and their love for the team.

★ Alex Querter never received the award because of his move to city rivals Club Brugge that same season. The organisers of the award found that Querters choice didn't match the criterium ''love for the team''.
