Wolverhampton Sporting Community forward Dan Westwood hits the century mark
After notching his 100th goal in just 72 games, Wolverhampton Sporting Community's Dan Westwood is just happy to get the monkey off his back.
The hot-shot clocked up his century of goals and added the 101st as he netted a brace in Sporting's 6-1 win over Gornal Athletic.
The 25-year-old joined Andy Paddock's side in October 2015, reaching triple figures in just 15 months.
"I'd missed a chance early on and nothing was falling for me, I was a toe away from everything," said Westwood. "I'd scored the 100th against Wednesfield on Tuesday but it didn't count because the match was abandoned with the floodlights failing.
"But you don't want to stay on 99 for too long. It can turn into a worry and you're thinking about the numbers so it was good to get the monkey of my back.
"The lads gathered me with the manager in the changing rooms after and presented me with the shirt. I was laughing before because Jonathan Letford, one of the other strikers, is near 50 goals."
Westwood's West Midlands Premier Division side sit second, but are 10 points adrift of table-topping Haughmond.
And the forward, a PE teacher by trade, has another record in his sights.
He added: "People are telling me the West Mids League record is 58. I'm on 45 – I just need to keep going, a goal every game."
