has been given a welcome boost after being named Brentford’s keeper of the past decade.
The Pole has been relegated to the Arsenal bench after a string of high-profile errors, while he incurred the wrath of Arsene Wenger after lighting up in the showers following the defeat at Southampton on January 1.
However, the 24-year-old was given a pick-me-up this week after receiving the gong from the Championship Bees, despite playing just 28 games!
Szczesny was handed his league debut by Brentford against Walsall back in November 2009 and his form for the west Londoners paved the way to the Gunners first team.

His exploits haven't been forgotten by the Griffin Park faithful either after he topped a week-long Twitter poll to mark 10 years of the Football League Awards.
Each club selects up to four players to go be put forward to the judges, which will be whittled down to find a ‘Team of the Decade’.
Szczesny hasn't featured for Arsenal since the 3-2 FA Cup win against Brighton last month, but he could be recalled to the side for Sunday's fifth round clash against Middlesbrough.
