Steve Bates, chairman of the FWA, said: "Harry is receiving the award because of his outstanding contribution to football, both as a player and, latterly, as a manager.
"He has always enjoyed a good rapport with the press who appreciate his professionalism, humour and readiness to give his time for interviews win, lose or draw.
"He thoroughly deserves this honour and has been a highly popular choice."
