Peel's DJ of the year awards: a definitive list, anyone?

Guess the MM polls came out around Sept...

You wouldn't have to go through them all and the polls results were usually flagged as a feature on the front page (as far as I remember).

I am sure he won DJ of the year from Melody Maker (and NME, and SOUNDS, and... whoever) many more times than that page says. Does anyone know of the existence of any kind of definitive list of Peel's DJ of the year awards, year by year, title by title?
