What does Magno need to do until the end of the season to become one of the top Fleet Legends?
When did a Fleet Player score 2 goals or more in each of three consecutive games?
Where do Managers come in the Fleet legends stakes?
Will retaining status in the Blue Square Premier against incredible odds and the FA Trophy make Liam Diash THE FLEET LEGEND?
He is probably there already! FA Trophy victory at Wemblery is very hard to beat.
In answer to the original question I would imagine Steve Portway managed to achieve more than a goal in several consecutive matches, from memory for months on end.
He did score around 60, repeat 60 goals in consecutive seasons.
Must have been about 10 hat tricks in that time, a feat that will never be equalled.
To become a legend in one season I would say he would have to score more than Portway, he is about 48 short at the moment and he has 14 matches left to get them, if he manages it that should certainly qualify as legendary.
Alternatively he could stick around for five or six seasons and be the top man each season and achieve legend status via the longevity route.
He won't become a legend by scoring twenty goals in one season and then leaving though.
Hempstead Gaz is a Fleet legend.....or should that be leg end ? 
Cheers,
Looks like Steve Portway was a bit of a goal machine - Best year 61 goals in 1992/93. Is there a source I can break this down game by game?
'He won't become a legend by scoring twenty goals in one season and then leaving though.'
Withouht his goals we wouldn't have won most of the games we've won.
Without his goals, our top scorer would only have 2 goals. Surely that will make him a legend at the end of the season? After all, Mcphee became a legend in one season..
Thanks Ian
His best run in 92/93 16 goals in 6 consecutive games WOW!!!
26/12/92 BHL Burnham A 5-0 Portway (2), Coffill, Ullathorne, Fordred
28/12/92 BHL Fisher Athletic H 2-1 Portway (2)
05/01/93 BHL Margate H 2-0 Portway (2)
09/01/93 BHL Bury Town A 7-2 Portway (6), Schweiso
16/01/93 BHL Dunstable Town H 3-0 Portway (2), Ullathorne
19/01/93 BHL Sudbury Town H 2-0 Portway (2)
That Bury game was something like 5 goals in the last 20 minutes when losing 2-1.
Had forgotten about Ullathorne.
Without his goals, our top scorer would only have 2 goals.
Bailey and Ginty have three apiece - although the point still stands, I agree.
It's all a question of one's interpretation of the meaning of the word 'legend'. For better or for worse, it does seem to be used rather more liberally (and often overly so) these days than it used to be.
When did a Fleet Player score 2 goals or more in each of three consecutive games?
Emailed in reply to the 'Fleet News' email bearing this question:
To answer your query 'when did a Fleet Player score 2 goals or more in each of three consecutive games?', the last to do this was Nick Hegley, who scored a hat-trick against Farnborough Town in a 5-1 home win on 6/11/99, followed by two at Heybridge Swifts in a 4-2 win on 12/11/99 and a further two at Braintree Town in a 5-2 win on 16/11/99. The latter match, though, was in the Full Members' Cup.
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.
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).
Thanks Ian - being a relative new comer to the Fleet the names are new to me and in particular the goal scoring of Steve Portway.
Is there a list of ex Fleet players who have become/were famous in to flight football. Jimmy Logie, Roy Hodgson, Jimmy Bullard etc. I have read the history of Gravesend & 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".
There is a list in the players tunnel.

I think the Club might be upset if Milesy took that one!

Hmmmmm he said he could read, so i assumed that he can write as well.
