Records broken this season

We may have been at our lowest level of football but what a season this has been, the feel good factor is back.

Most points in a season
Most wins in a season
Most goals scored in a season
Highest home attendance in this league
Biggest fa cup win
Biggest away crowd for an away match (albeit played at home) in this league
Consecutive wins
Quickest goal ever scored today by us? Can that be confirmed I’m only presuming it was

Feel free to add to the list but what an achievement considering our position after 9 games.

With regards to the quickest goal. I stand to be corrected but I believe Pat Kruse own goal V Cambridge is the fastest goal we've ever scored.

Pat did score it, but you will not find it in the "for" column as a Torquay goal.

Can't add much to the topic, other than I wont argue, been a great season, whatever the future holds, , this will live long in my memory, lowest level of football we've played at or not.

I seem to remember a certain Tommy Anderton scored after 6 seconds at Plainmoor in the mid sixties.

Anyone remember this ?

When I was a schoolboy I was at a home match in 1963/1964 when winger Peter Anderson scored in 28 or 29 seconds. The goal was scored at the Cowshed end where I was standing. It could have been a night match possibly a Friday night but I can't remember who our opponents were although I think we won 3-0 or 3-1.

And some of the new records were achieved over 42 rather than 46 league games.

Thank you TerryTorq I was at that game but 55 years later no surprise I got the name wrong!

Peter Anderson was like an Olympic Sprinter and he ran about 100 yards with the ball because no one could catch him.

I believe we signed Peter Anderson from Plymouth and he could certainly shift a bit. If it was a Friday night game there were plenty in those days so I am unable to pinpoint exactly which match it was.

I moved away to Hertfordshire in late 1969 to improve my job prospects so the 1960s are the times that I remember most. I live 30 minutes from St Albans so I was there on Saturday but as I was with a local Spurs fan we stood at the home end at the side rather than behind the goal. We had an excellent view of the action especially in the first 10 minutes.

Peter Anderson scored for TUFC in my first ever match at Plainmoor, against Chester, on 19 April 1963. We won 1-0.
