Whittaker looking to create a bit of history

IT has been 30 years since a Plymouth Argyle player last scored 20 league goals in a season and Morgan Whittaker has one last chance to achieve that milestone moment.
Whittaker looking to create a bit of history

The Pilgrims getting a win in their final game of the campaign, against Hull City at Home Park tomorrow, and securing their Championship survival, is all that really matters, but if Whittaker (pictured) were to score as well that would be significant in recent club history. No-one has reached 20 league goals for Argyle in a season since midfielder Steve Castle got to a total of 21 during 1993/94.

That was the season when Peter Shilton's Pilgrims finished in third position in Division Two (now known as League One) and then lost to Burnley in the play-off semifinals.

The closest anyone has got to scoring 20 league goals in a season for Argyle since then has been Freddie Ladapo in 2018/19 and Reuben Reid in 2014/15, with both strikers netting 18 times.
