GLEN SETS HIS SIGHTS ON TITCH!
GLEN TAYLOR says he now wants to smash Spennymoor Town’s alltime goalscoring record after reaching a century of goals last weekend.
The 29-year-old striker bagged his 100th goal in his 200th appearance for the Moors last weekend to further engrain himself in club folklore.
Taylor, the FA Vase winner with Whitley Bay, has won two promotions with Spennymoor since joining in 2016 and was named the National League North player of the season last term.
He’s been a key figure in their success under manager Jason Ainsley – and Taylor is now aiming to make more history, but at the expense of his teammate Gavin Cogdon, the club’s record goalscorer with 132.
“I did joke after the game I’m now coming after Cogden but I genuinely am!” Taylor told The NLP.
“Titch [Cogden] is classed as a club legend and rightly so for what he has achieved at the club so if I can end up on more goals than him it would be great. I’m targeting 150 now and would like to think I’d nearly be there at the end of next season.
“I’m really proud of the record. I don’t think I’m your typical goal scorer as I think the type of forward I am, I offer a lot more than just goals, so to provide 100 in 200 is a great feeling.”
Taylor signed a new two-year contract with the club this time last year and playing parttime suits his work-life agenda.
“My life still has great balance and I’ve never been happier with all aspects of my life so I’d be mad to disrupt that but I suppose you can never say never. I’d like to finish my playing career at Spennymoor and hopefully reach 200 goals in the process.”
