16.02.2010 - The in-form striker from Abades in Tenerife, who entered the record books by becoming the first player to score in six top-flight competitions in the same year in December, was unable to pick up his trophy in person in Las Palmas at the end of January due to his commitments at Barcelona but said he was delighted with the award. Rodríguez beat taekwondo star Rosana Simón (La Palma) and yachtswomen Tara Pacheco (Gran Canaria) for his year’s accolade.

The ceremony included special awards for the Socas Canarias basketball team from La Laguna in recognition of its 70th anniversary this season and several times world karate champion Gloria Casanova.
