ALEX IS MARCH MANAGER OF THE MONTH

5th April 2001

Alex Smith has been awarded Bank of Scotland Manager of the Month award for March.

Scottish football's longest serving boss was presented with the trophy after United's unbeaten month of March which, of course, included two wins over Rangers. The sponsors also acknowledged the Tannadice gaffer's hard work in turning around United's extremely disappointing start to the season, with wise signings and giving youth a chance listed as key factors.

On being handed the award, Smith said, "There's no question that this trophy belongs to the whole club - everyone at Tannadice has worked very, very hard and all deserve great credit."
