Lloyd Sam named League One Player of the Month

Last updated : 12 September 2009 By Matt Fricker

Lloyd Sam was this morning named as the Coca Cola League One Player of the Month for August in a result broadcast held by Soccer AM.

The Charlton number 11 had to beat off fierce competition from Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford and Gillingham forward Simeon Jackson for the award but Sam's 3 goals and sensational appearances in a Charlton shirt this season were enough to win him the award.

It is hoped that Lloyd Sam's success this morning will be the first of three victories for Charlton today, as Manager Phil Parkinson has been nominated for the Manager of the Month award, the results of which will be announced on Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday, and the Addicks will look to gain another 3 points today from Alan Pardew's Southampton.

Come on you Addicks!
