Big Sam guided the Hammers unbeaten through October to secure the sixth Manager of the month award of his career.
Allardyce said, “I was delighted to be presented with the Barclays Manager of the Month award for October. It is an award I accepted gratefully on behalf of everybody at West Ham, from the owners to the tea lady.
“We all enjoy life more when we’re winning football matches and certainly life has become that little bit easier for us all in recent weeks, with the reward being a very nice trophy.
“The pinnacle of October was obviously beating Manchester City, but the most important thing was being able to put away two teams we were expected to beat in QPR and Burnley. Because we did that, we had the platform to go into the Man City game with confidence and the impetus to beat the champions.
“For me, it was a great month and the players have grown in confidence. The performances have been there all season, bar the Southampton game, but in October we got the results we deserved. We are undefeated in four games and now the emphasis is on how long we can keep this run going and keep us where we are in the table and, who knows, take us even higher.”
