Lansbury the SBOBET winner

Henri Lansbury has been voted the SBOBET Player of the Month for September after the latest supporter poll.

In one of the closest votes seen since the prestigious prize began, Lansbury took 30.7 per cent, just ahead of Robert Green on 29.9 per cent. Lansbury enjoyed a memorable month, playing in all four games and starting his Hammers loan from Arsenal with a debut goal in the 4-3 win against Portsmouth on 10 September.

He also won a penalty for Mark Noble in that match as he did in the 1-0 home win against Peterborough on 24 September. In between, he was impressive in the goalless draw away to Millwall on 17 September, going close to a stunning first-minute goal with a snap-shot from fully 40 yards that just missed.

Currently away on England duty for two big UEFA U21 EURO qualifiers, Lansbury will receive his award just before the home match against Blackpool on Saturday 15 October. The 20-year-old follows on from James Tomkins, who took the honour in August after a tremendous first month of the campaign.
