Jimmy Logie, Roy Hodgson, Jimmy Bullard etc. I have read the history of Gravesend &#38; Northfleet book which I am sure includes them all but it would be great to get hold of a simple list. Good for a "Fleet Hall of Fame". </p> http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/topic/what-makes-a-fleet-legend#post-409049 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 12:56:05 +0000 jc 409049@http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/ <blockquote><p>Without his goals, our top scorer would only have 2 goals. </p> </blockquote> <p>Bailey and Ginty have three apiece - although the point still stands, I agree.</p> <p>It's all a question of one's interpretation of the meaning of the word 'legend'.

The latter match, though, was in the Full Members' Cup.</p> <p>The last person to manage it in league games only was, perhaps unsurprisingly, Steve Portway, with two goals in a 4-1 home win over Wealdstone on 15/2/94, a hat-trick away to Dunstable in another 4-1 win on 19/2/94, and a double in a 2-0 home win over Fareham Town on 22/2/94, in our Southern League Southern Division championship year.</p> <p>Che Stadhart was the last to manage six goals in three games, in our first season back in the Conference in 2002/2003, but that was comprised of a single goal against Southport (h; lost 3-1; 31/8/02), a hat-trick against Woking (our last in league or major cups) (a; won 3-2; 3/9/02) and a double against Nuneaton Borough (h; won 4-1; 7/9/02). </p> http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/topic/what-makes-a-fleet-legend#post-409033 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:18:00 +0000 Jeff 409033@http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/ <p>That Bury game was something like 5 goals in the last 20 minutes when losing 2-1.</p> <p>Had forgotten about Ullathorne. </p> http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/topic/what-makes-a-fleet-legend#post-409032 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:57:19 +0000 Milesy 409032@http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Ian</p> <p>His best run in 92/93 16 goals in 6 consecutive games WOW!!!</p> <p>26/12/92 BHL Burnham A 5-0 Portway (2), Coffill, Ullathorne, Fordred<br /> 28/12/92 BHL Fisher Athletic H 2-1 Portway (2)<br /> 05/01/93 BHL Margate H 2-0 Portway (2)<br /> 09/01/93 BHL Bury Town A 7-2 Portway (6), Schweiso<br /> 16/01/93 BHL Dunstable Town H 3-0 Portway (2), Ullathorne<br /> 19/01/93 BHL Sudbury Town H 2-0 Portway (2) </p> http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/topic/what-makes-a-fleet-legend#post-409031 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:41:37 +0000 eufcfan08 409031@http://www.eufcforum.com/forum/ <p>'He won't become a legend by scoring twenty goals in one season and then leaving though.'</p> <p>Withouht his goals we wouldn't have won most of the games we've won.<br /> Without his goals, our top scorer would only have 2 goals.
