The direction in which the club was travelling is irrelevant in my opinion.
I actually had an each way bet on latics to make the top 3 but we were let down by a few players this season and a drop in form last few months.
For me,if a player becomes a hero by scoring one goal, then we would have many including Neil Readfern who scored a very important goal at level 2, not 5.
Roger palmer has scored almost 6 times as many goals as norwood again at level 2.
Danny Rowe scored one of the best goals from a dead ball kick i've ever seen, still rising when it hit the net. Is he considered a hero?
