Dan Holman's effort was good, but he's got nothing on a policeman from Somerset and a guy who left for Badsey Rangers after just six games.

(From exhaustive research over a pint or two with club statto Paul Godfrey on Saturday - and yes, we probably have missed out on someone, before Nesty points it out ;))

There have been plenty of fours over the years... Boyland and Burton are the two most recent, so comparable with deadly Dan.

After those two we were just looking for the fives and sixes.
