KEL'S GOLDEN SHOT

Hitman Charlie eyeing play-off glory

- by ALAN SMITH

CHARLIE KELMAN'S golden boot arrived by post on Wednesday.

But League One's top marksman would exchange it for play-off glory without a second thought after following through on a pre-season promise.

Last summer Kelman felt at a crossroads at QPR so flew to Dallas, where he spent much of his childhood, to cut himself off from all distractions.

He trained "obsessively" at The Star facility used by the NFL's Cowboys and admits "my missus was fuming because we barely spoke" while he was in the zone.

And when the chance to rejoin Leyton Orient on loan for a second time presented itself upon his return, he told manager Richie Wellens that he would score 20 goals.

Brave talk from a player whose previous best return was seven, when the Os won League Two the season before last.
