@NPMetcalfe 😂 There we are, proven scoring prowess. I can just see you leaping like a salmon to head home, like Mr Palmer back in the day ...

@StevenageFA Oh aye, just what you need in a play-off chase - a clogger centre-half with less good knees than Ledley King! Mind, I did play up front once and scored a hat-trick so 20 minutes off the bench should be fine 😂

⏪ Back in 1957, Stevenage FC brought Herts Express reporter Mike Palmer into the team after a player didn't show up. ⚽ Mike ended up scoring, and earned a second appearance. 🗞️ It got us wondering ... would The Boro reporter @NPMetcalfe answer the call if it came? 🤔

3️⃣1️⃣1️⃣: If LJW plays all remaining eight games, he'll end the season on 311 total Boro' appearances - still seven short of Graham Cox (318). If/when he does catch Cox in the all-time list, a further 40+ will be needed to catch Chris Day, then Des Gallagher.
