1995/96 Season Summary

It started with a 5-2 win at Slough with Steve Haw netting a hat-trick and Gambo bagging the others and we topped the table for the only time that season! A particularly bad run saw us plummet to 18th place by the end of October but a 7-1 win at home to Farnborough signaled the team were back and a highly promising campaign saw us finish in 6th place. Andy Whittaker finished the season as top scorer with 16 league goals and Peter Davenport notched 13, Davenport was to go on and take a caretaker manager role the next season before returning to the club as full time boss at the end of the 2006/07 season.
