Ireland U21 star Reid nets award

Nottingham Forest striker Andy Reid has scooped the Umbro Isotonic Division One Player of the Month award – despite his side’s indifferent form.

The Ireland U21 star shone for Forest in October although Paul Hart’s men won just two of their seven games.

French midfielder David Friio’s displays for table-toppers Plymouth earned him the Division Two honour while Doncaster striker Michael McIndoe was named the Third Division’s player of the month after leading his side to six consecutive victories.

Luton’s Adrian Forbes scored six goals in as many games and claimed the Goalscorer of the Month award.
