Norwich City defender Michael Nelson was celebrating today after being named Coca-Cola League 1 Player of the Month for April.
Nelson was in fantastic form in April, with a series of assured displays at the heart of the Canaries' defence. At the other end of the pitch he also chipped in with vital goals in the victories against Charlton Athletic and Gillingham to help Norwich City finish the season as Champions of Coca-Cola League 1 with two games to spare.
Also short-listed for the April award were Ian Harte of Carlisle United, Roy O'Donovan of Hartlepool United (on loan from Sunderland) and Southampton's Rickie Lambert.
Kevin Nolan of Newcastle United won the award in the Championship and Lee Hughes of Notts County was given the League 2 accolade.
The decision to present the Coca-Cola League 1 Player of the Month award was made by the Coca-Cola Player of the Month awards panel which includes former World Cup referee Jack Taylor, on behalf of The Football League, Steve Bates, Chairman of the Football Writers' Association, Malcolm Clarke, Chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation and Steve Watts, Marketing Assets Manager, Coca-Cola Great Britain.
