I give you Bert Lister who scored in hid first 9 games for Alty, netting 15 times in that period.  His debut was on 1st December 1966, in a 2-1 win at Tranmere Rovers Reserves.  His second game was the FA Cup First Round tie at Grantham, and he scored in the 3-0 win.  He also scored in our 2-1 defeat at home to 3rd Division Barrow in the Second Round in front of 8462 fans at Moss Lane.

This I think sets the high water mark.

See if he fancies a comeback.

It's at times like these when you once again mourn the absence of the late roytonmike.
 

Very well put.

Bert Lister was spot on for Mike.  Bert retired from full time football (and hence joined Alty) because he wanted to devote himself to his newsagent IN ROYTON!

Can anyone confirm who the last player to score in their first four games was?

[ManagementGuru]

I can't find anybody after Bert Lister; although Duncan Watmore came close, scoring in his  first three starts for Alty

[One Foot in the Grave]

I doubt we've ever had anyone else score 4 in 4 without ever playing a full 90 minutes. !

I'm taking that as confirmation Bill as it's a fantastic statistic to tweet out!

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

So, who was the last Alty player to score a goal in each of his first four appearances for the club?

Calling Flynny or Management Guru....

Off the top of my head, because he was prolific for a short time, Keith Russell?

When Keith Russell first joined Alty on loan from Blackpool in October 1997, he scored in three of his first four games for the club.

When Bernard Taylor brought him back to Moss Lane on a permanent basis in March 1998, Russell proceeded to score in each of his first four games for the Robins.

I knew it’d have been pretty close
