Seeing as @GusScottmorriss is leaving @SUFCRootsHall here’s my favourite of his 17 goals this season - a terrific team move against Sutton United.
All the best Gus - it’s been great watching the goals fly in and speaking to you, can’t wait to see what’s next!

‘I’m over the moon - it’s a special moment.’
He also made a special tribute to Noor Husin, who has been recovering from injury since September.

On FA Trophy: ‘A great achievement - these players will go down in the history of the football club. That’s probably one of the proudest moments for me.’
On summer: ‘We all deserve a break. There was very little time off last summer.’
A standing ovation for departing @SUFCRootsHall CEO Tom Lawrence 👏
On the FA Trophy win: ‘I’ve been supporting the club since I was seven - it was great to see everything come together. I was just so thankful to be part of such a great success’
