Newly-appointed York City boss Colin Walker has won the Blue Square Premier “Manager of the Month” award for December.
Walker was appointed caretaker-manager during November, and duly accepted a permanent role after an impressive start, which has seen his side remain unbeaten. During the month the Minstermen gained ten points from four league games, registering three victories and a draw.
City also progressed to the next round of both non-League cup competitions and find themselves within touching distance of the play-off positions in the Blue Square Premier table.
Rotherham-born Walker made thirty-four appearances for his adopted country New Zealand during a playing career which also saw him play for Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday amongst others.
In the Blue Square South the award goes to Hampton & Richmond Borough manager Alan Devonshire.
The former West Ham and England star led his team to three wins and two draws in a month which saw them average over two goals per game. Hampton started the month with a terrific 5-1 win at home to Weston-super-Mare, they also went on to record a 4-1 victory at home to Hayes & Yeading.
Stalybridge Celtic manager Steve Burr has scooped the award in the Blue Square North.
Burr’s team completed the month with a one hundred percent record despite playing all three fixtures away from home.
The highlight of their month was a 3-1 win away at local rivals Hyde United on Boxing Day.
Stalybridge also achieved wins at Leigh RMI and Solihull Moors.

Colin deserves it he has turned us around and there is a feel good factor around the place now and the comeback at Droysdon on NY day was just amazing to see. :eusa_clap::eusa_clap::eusa_clap:
