Just in case you're looking for the manager of the month awards for this season, Sean Connor has won it every month for single handedly masterminding the worst ever run of a team in League of Ireland history.

Hmmm good spread of teams there. With one exception...:bulgy:

[Dodge]

I have this for 2006, but looking to fill the gap. Can't find July anywhere...

April - Paul Keegan - Drogheda United
May - Jason Gavin - Drogheda United
June - Paul McTiernan - Sligo Rovers
July
August - Kevin Deery - Derry City
September - Darren Kelly - Derry City
October - Philip Hughes - Dundalk
November - Roy O'Donovan - Cork City

Loads of Derry there for you...

[Longfordian]

I know Derek Glynn was never exactly unselfish as a player but suggesting that he played for himself in 2007 is a bit harsh.

[Dodge]

Couple of mistakes in the 2006 list. here's the correct one

March - Paul Keegan - Drogheda United
April - Jason Gavin - Drogheda United
May - Pat McCourt - Derry City
June - Paul McTiernan - Sligo Rovers
July - Joseph Ndo - Shelbourne
August - Kevin Deery - Derry City
September - Darren Kelly - Derry City
October - Philip Hughes - Dundalk
November - Roy O'Donovan - Cork City

And apologies to Galway fans. Apparently Glynn's win in 2007 was their first since Paul McGee in 2006

[pineapple stu]

Figured it'd come to that!

Where'd you get all the info from?

[Dodge]

Some of my own work, and a very helpful e-mail from a Dundalk fan on here (I don't know his username and not sure if he wants his real name put out there)

Next up is getting all the PFAI teams of the year. harder than you'd think...

[Mr Maroon]

Thanks for that, Dodge. Great work.

[bluemovie]

Outstanding work. Well done.

[El-Pietro]

whats the story behind the Home Farm team being awarded player of the month?

[oriel]

Oct-72 - Tom McConville

And Tommy still attends every Dundalk home game !

Thanks to all for putting up the list of previous winners, very interesting to read.
