15 goals in 33 Conference starts.  Next highest scorer in the league is Michael Twiss, Nicky Clee, Dale Johnson and Marc Joseph (!) with 4.  The first time I really noticed him was his early goal at Tamworth (brilliant finishing) that season where (ironically) Kyle Perry got Joseph sent off and then scored the all too predictable equaliser.

If he stays with us he will move second!  He is already second in League goals scored (but only because we dont play anywhere near as many cup games as we used to)

I notice with the announcement of the England C squad and reserve squad that there are 7 forwards deemed better than Reevsie by Paul Fairclough

I'm pretty sure that the selection criteria is Under-23?  Might be wrong?

There is a definite age cut-off & I think you're right to say it's 23.

Which leaves me totally mystified by the absence from the squad of Scott Leather.

The whole idea of the England C team seems wrong to me now that the Conference is mainly full-time. It used to be for the best part-time players, now it's for the best of the worst full-time ones. Why should Bristol Rovers or Torquay players be rewarded for getting relegated with a chance to play for their country, something they wouldn't get if they'd stayed up?

I always get the impression that there is a Southern bias when it comes to picking players for the C Team

[Mrs Warbouys]

Hear hear Leon, no Full time footballers should play for England C its become a team of the worst professional footballers in England, rather then the best semi pro footballers. They do it as their job, if they are good enough they get picked for the full national side.

Also, he is now level with John Rogers in 6th place in the all time scorers table on 133 goals, chasing Walter Jones on 141 and then in equal second Jeff Johnson, Graham Heathcote and Jack Helme on 147.  A long way to go to catch Jack Swindells with 263!

I've scoured the legends section to see who our top scorers might be and I managed to cover 5 of those 6 but tell me about Jack Helme. I'd not heard of him.

Centre-forward in the 1920s - certainly between 1920-24; 11 goals in FA Cup ties including 5 in the two games v Tranmere in 1921 (our first League scalp).
