Often I think, if you've got a knack for scoring you've got a knack for scoring. See Jamie vardy I guess. Just need to up fitness levels and a few attributes although I admit some strikers 'find their level' and seem to bottom out when attempt going higher.

But if you are an out an out goal machine with a knack of knowing where the goal is and being in the right place I think that can take you a fair way.

Spot on assessment year`s ago we had a player called Gary Lund who was prolific all through his school year`s .When he got a contract with Town and went pro the goals never really flowed for him the same but you could see he was a natural finisher . Lundy never did much outside the box but came alive inside it .Chris Hargreaves was another at schoolboy level but he adapted his game and played mostly has a midfielder once he left Town.

Lundy scored 24 goals in 60 appearances - we’d settle for that return off someone next season.

Yep and maintained a 1 in 3 games goal ratio throughout his career.

What about Omar Izmakin Izatme?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

That made me chuckle. I bet some younger posters are googling his scoring record. 😄

Just to make you feel your age Micky, Gary is now 54 and a partner in an Estate Agency in Nottingham.

Things were different then. Some juniors were on 1st or 2nd year pro contracts and some were amateurs. Gary was in the 6th form doing A Levels, Wilkie was a Y2 pro. The difference was quite strong. I don't think Gary ever got to develop that yard of pace that a striker needed at Div 2 level and I believe he dropped into midfield later on.

Three players I forgot about on the Neil Woods thread were John McDermott, Gary Henshaw and Paul Agnew who were not local but came through the juniors ranks in the same side as Lund and Wilkinson. They were testament to the need for a good scouting network at junior level. Cost us nothing.

No rumours here, but FGR announced their retained list.

Lee Collins & Tahvon Campbell both released which hasn't please the 57 fans they have.
Also Reuben Ried transfer listed, I remember him playing very well when they destroyed us first game of last season
