As far as I can see, Billy is the first to score 2 hattricks (all competitions) for us since Ian Duerden in the Conference in 1998-99

Prior to that it was Brendan O'Callaghan in 1975-76 (1 in Div 4, 1 league Cup)

And before that Alick Jeffrey in 1964-65 (2 in Div 4)

And he is now 29th in the list of all time Football League goalscorers since 1888:

And Billy did it at a higher level than all of them. League one or division 3 in old money.

Unreal how many achievements he's racked up in his career.

Looking at that list he must be someway clear as the highest goalscorer in the 21st Century (he'll be hoping Harry Kane stays in Germany for a lot longer though).

What a privilege to have such a player at our club for so much of his career.

If he does carry on playing never mind getting to 300 career goals, he’ll be eyeing up moving a few places up that list too!
