Former Valiant Aspin wins monthly award
Former Port Vale playing legend Neil Aspin has been voted the Conference North’s Manager of the Month for November.
Aspin, manager of FC Halifax, guided the Shaymen to victory over Vauxhall Motors and Droylsden in the league as well as Cammell Laird and Altrincham in the FA Trophy as his side scored 14 goals in November.
Halifax currently lie in fifth place in the Conference North table but due to their cup run the side also have games in hand over teams placed higher in the table.
Aspin is seventh in Port Vale’s all-time appearances list. He made 409 appearances, scoring three goals in an eleven year spell with the Valiants.
The burly defender was twice voted the player of the year and was a key member of both the 1993-1994 promotion side and the 1993 Autoglass Trophy side.
