Re: Kompany and Maatsen nominated for monthly awards

We only played three league games in Jan
Don’t know how that compares to other nominees but might not be enough to win it - despite 9 pts

The only other player I know is Gabor Kiraly but he was an emergency signing for West Ham because of an injury and didn't play.

David Unsworth similarly to Kiraly - Villa bought him but he left again before the season started as his family didn't like Birmingham and he moved back to Everton
