Jim Hall was top goalscorer for Northampton Town in the 1975/76 season, scoring 21 of the 87 League goals scored by the Cobblers on their way to the runners-up spot in Division 4. What was remarkable though was in that promotion-winning season Northampton used 19 different players in League matches and of them 15 scored goals, including regular goalkeeper Alan Starling who scored from the penalty spot in the 5-2 victory over Hartlepool in April. The four who didn't score - who included the second-choice 'keeper - only managed 16 League appearances between them so could perhaps be excused from getting their names on the scoresheet.

 


"You can't say my team aren't winners. They've proved that by finishing fourth, third and second in the past three seasons."
Gerard Houllier, showing that Liverpool weren’t winners!
