Next you'll be asking if we can delete Leon Knight's goal in the Play-Off Final...

Hugh Vallance got 32 goals in 1929/30... None were penalties.

No disrespect to Magic but the 36 goals were scored against Division 3 opposition 35 years ago , when the players fitness regime was often marred by a bad diet , fags and the celebratory boozing after a win or draw.

Wardy scored his goals at the time when pitches resembled ploughed fields.
He also scored 36 goals without the need for an assist, he would pick the ball up on the halfway line and just waltz around defenders as if they were statues.
He is incomparable.

To suggest his record is unremarkable because it was set in the 3rd tier is an insult to a genius.
If Wardy were playing today on these carpet like playing surfaces in front of a quality midfield like we now have, he'd be breaking Dixie Dean's scoring record and we would piss this league by 20 points or more.

Well said Mr lurker, it's easy as the years go by to forget just how bloody brilliant Wardy was.

Peter Ward. Unbelievably good. The only player we've ever had since that has made the crowd stir in the same way each time he gets the ball is Vicente.

To be fair, Wardy looks to have embraced the bad diet (god he looks fat) and the cebratory boozing here as well

Since 1977 Peter wards record of 36 goals in a season still stands until maybe this season , all records are there to be broken and with
CMS on 4 goals already and in great form who knows ( that's if we can keep norwich at bay in January)
42 league games left plus an FA cup run

I will never start another thread again making any prediction about our club
I would just like to apologise to everyone on NSC
