Colin Calderwood has picked up the football award in the East Midlands sporting awards – the smouldering one netted the gong for both his work in getting Northampton Town promoted, and of course the work he’s begun with a subject much dearer to our hearts; taking the mighty Nottingham Forest to a commanding position in League One – a nice early Christmas present for the Forest boss, who accepted the award in person.
On accepting the award he spoke of the Forest job as an opportunity to potentially manage at the highest level – hopefully he means with Forest and not as a stepping stone to greater things! (That’s certainly how it came across – so fear not!). It does just go to show that to step straight from a successful campaign with the Cobblers and begin what looks like becoming another with the Reds is no mean achievement – well done Smoulders, may it be only the next in a long line of awards!
