Marc Cucurella had the room in stitches when he delivered a hilarious acceptance speech after bagging not one but TWO awards at Brighton's end of season awards.
The Spaniard took home the Men's Players' Player of the Season and the Supporters' Player of the Season awards during the club's gala occasion.
And he produced a brilliant moment with Jules Breach as he collected his two awards.
Cucurella gave his acceptance speech in broken English before sending a hilarious message to Graham Potter.

He said: "Ey, gaffer, next season put me on the bench - I donβt like speaking English!"
Cucurella, 23, has performed heroics in his debut season for the Seagulls, starring at left-back - with his side currently boasting a top half place in the table.
Speaking to the club's official website after scooping a double at the end of season awards, he said: "It is amazing, not possible in my first season here in this league. Thank you for everyone who voted for me, the teammates and the fans.

"I understand football means helping the team and running until your legs wonβt let you. I think the fans like it if you work hard on the pitch and I thank them for their support. We had two years without fans and the game against Manchester United was a present for them."
Cucurella, who joined from Getafe last summer, bagged his first goal for the club last weekend, scoring his team's second in their 4-0 win over Manchester United.
The goal got the better of him as he cut a hugely emotional figure during his celebration.

On his goal, he said: "A lot of emotions. We arrived here on the last day of the transfer window, me and my wife and my two boys were alone here, we stayed at home in winter because we didnβt speak English.
"I remembered all those bad things when I scored so it was a present for my family.
"Now the weather is perfect, the days are longer and the family is very happy here."
