Lincoln have won 23 of their 51 games since Jackson took charge

Lincoln City manager Peter Jackson says his first 12 months in charge of the club have been "incredible."

Jackson was appointed manager at Sincil Bank a year ago with the Imps bottom of League Two.

As well as securing their league status Jackson successfully went through treatment for throat cancer.

He told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "It's been an incredible year, I could write a book about what's happened to me in the last 12 months."

Jackson, who has steered the Imps to 10th in League Two on the back of five wins and a draw in October, praised the Imps' fans, players and board of directors for the way they supported him.

"When I took over we had 91 clubs above us and an ageing side. We looked doomed," he admitted.

"The club's come on leaps and bounds. I knew I had a chance with the backing they've given me, particularly through the bad times, and I can't praise them highly enough."
