Crystal Palace midfielder Darren Ambrose was celebrating today after being named Coca-Cola Championship Player of the Month for November.
Ambrose has been in outstanding goal-scoring form in recent weeks and this certainly continued throughout November, with the midfielder netting in each of his side's four league fixtures. He began the month by getting on the score sheet in the Eagles' away draw with London rivals Queens Park Rangers before grabbing the only goal in their home win over Middlesbrough. Further strikes followed against Coventry City and Watford to leave Neil Warnock's men unbeaten during the month and with the Coca-Cola Championship Play-Off places firmly in their sights.
Also short-listed for the November award were Kevin Nolan of Newcastle United, Darius Henderson of Sheffield United and West Bromwich Albion's Simon Cox.
Robbie Williams of Huddersfield Town won the award in League 1 and Morecambe's Laurence Wilson was given the League 2 accolade.
The decision to present the Coca-Cola Championship 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.
