The Icing on the Cake: Macaulay Langstaff’s Our Game Player of the Year Award

Macaulay Langstaff has had a season to remember. The forward helped lead the Magpies back to the Football League with a record-breaking 42 goals, none of which came from the penalty spot. This remarkable achievement has earned him the Our Game Player of the Year award, which he described as ‘the icing on the cake’ of an already memorable season.

Langstaff received his latest accolade at the Non-League Paper’s National Game Awards, in association with Isuzu. This came just 10 days after County’s dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Chesterfield in the National League play-off final.

"I always say that personal accolades are the icing on the cake of team success," said Langstaff. "We have gained promotion and I have gained some personal accolades along the way, so it has been a great season."

The Magpies had a tough battle for the title, going head-to-head with Wrexham in a race that saw both teams finish with over 100 points. Though they ultimately finished second, Langstaff was thrilled to secure promotion through the play-offs.

"It has been a bit of a rollercoaster and to finish it off with promotion is obviously unbelievable," he said. "To win it at Wembley in a penalty shoot-out, I don’t think there is a better way to win it. It is going to be a season I look back on for years to come."

Langstaff wasn’t the only County winner at the National Game Awards. Manager Luke Williams was named Sports Ground Development Manager of the Year. Accepting the award on Williams’ behalf, his former teacher Mick Payne said: "When you see a manager go to the very top, people don’t always see the foundations and the groundwork that he has had to go through to get to where he has got."

Payne added: "I have known Luke since he was ten, and I feel so privileged to be connected. As a player, he unfortunately had to finish very early due to injuries, and I think he was always destined in a way to be a coach and be a manager. He has worked tirelessly to get to where he is, and I believe there are going to be big things for him down the line."

    Mecca is a top, top bloke! He's very down to earth and you can see he's a grafter who enjoys the rewards of his hard work. He's had a sensational start to his Notts career, I hope this keeps in his mind when if comes other clubs promising him the earth.

    It's what you're gifted, not what you take that makes you a success. I believe in Macca!

    The amount of awards he is winning is testament to what a great season he’s had, he’ll need lots of room on his mantelpiece or a large cabinet to put them in. Well done macca.
