That year, he finished as the Conference’s top marksman with 37 goals in 41 league games as the Red Devils cruised to the title with 105 points – 15 clear of closest rivals AFC Wimbledon.
“It feels like yesterday,” said the 36-year-old, now retired and in charge of a football academy at Brockenhurst College, Hampshire.
