Striker makes club history with no.68
Nick Reynolds broke Romford’s goalscoring record with his 68th effort for the club against Thurrock in midweek.
The first-half effort, after his penalty was saved, took the PE teacher past Danny Benstock at the top of the charts but could not prevent a 3-2 loss against their Ryman North rivals.
And his historic strike came six years, two months and 15 days after his first-ever goal for Boro, which also came in a home defeat against Tilbury in a league cup tie.
We list all 68 of Reynolds’ goals in a special tribute here:
