Kevin was praised for his dedicated volunteering at the club which included serving on the Coventry Charity Cup Committee, giving thousands each year to nominated charities and the Covsupport News Service, helping to bring match reports to fans around the world.
The winner to be announced at The Football League Awards on Sunday 11th March 2012 at The Brewery, London.
The Football League’s head of marketing, David Malkinson said: ‘Fans are the lifeblood of all Football League clubs and it is important that their efforts are celebrated. The Football League Awards is one of the most prestigious events in the football calendar and this award puts a spotlight on dedication that can sometimes go unnoticed.’
