Manager Stephen Howson compared James Oatt\u2019s sacrifices to Manchester United legend Nemanja Vidic as the defender picked up April Player of the Month.<\/p>\n

Oattsy\u2019s outstanding month started with winning a penalty in the last-minute against Manchester Polonia, which Okera Simmonds then dispatched to steal a point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A bitterly disappointing 3-0 defeat to North Walkden soon followed, but an injured and selfless Oattsy volunteered to go in the sticks for the second half in replacement of his injured goalkeeper.<\/p>\n

\"\"Last weekend, Paddock\u2019s number 27 was instrumental in a 4-0 victory over Signol Old Boys with the club claiming their first-ever competitive cleansheet.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Oattsy epitomised this month was sacrifice for the team,\u201d\u00a0<\/i>said a proud Howson. \u201cIn the first game we had a new defensive shape at set pieces and corners and it was Oattsy\u2019s job to get his head on stuff, in a Vidic style of doing it, just clearing anything that comes into his zone \u2013 which he did very well.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cHe did so well he got a cut on his eyebrow which is the most Vidic thing I could think of anyone doing.<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cLooking at the range of tasks that he had to do, his enthusiasm when being asked to do any job, his teamwork and sacrifice, he is everything a team player should be. A well-deserved Player of the Month award.\u201d\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Oattsy and Stretford Paddock FC take on High Lane in a must-win clash this Saturday (3pm KO) as both teams look to progress from the Lancashire & Cheshire AFL Rhodes Club Group D.<\/p>\n
