Rendell again

Of course we all now know that Scott Rendell is in fact a greedy Judas bastard, who probably murdered Princess Diana, spends his spare time eating cute kittens, and generally epitomises everything that is wrong with "Broken Britain" (©The Sun). But before all this unsavoury business with Posh came about he was actually quite a good footballer. Despite lacking the abundant class of a Kitson, Guy, or Simpson, his unerring knack of being in the right place at the right time should ensure he carves a decent career in the football league.

Top Five Rendell Goals:

5: Ebbsfleet (H) 27/08/07
Before this young Scott had done little to suggest he would turn into a goal machine. But after coming off the bench to replace LFW, he nodded home an injury time equaliser that was to start a run of goals in four consecutive games. OK, so Michael Hyem’s initial shot probably bounced over the line anyway, but as Jimmy iwasagoodstrikeronceyaknowhaveievertoldyouaboutit Quinn will tell you, they all count.

4: Droylsden (H) 22/01/08
Probably his best goal for the club technically speaking, even if it did come against hopeless opposition. Receiving the ball on the edge of the box with his back to goal, Judas turned two players and arrowed a shot right into the bottom corner to complete his hatrick.

3: Weymouth (H) 01/12/07 FA Cup second round
We were terrible in this game, and it took a moment of Rendell skill to settle things. Lobbing the ball over a defender, he ran into the area and was brought down. Picking himself up, he coolly dispatched the spot kick to send us into the third round.

2: Wolves (A) 05/01/08 FA Cup third round
Another penalty. He didn’t do anything to win this one himself, but deserves all the credit in the world for keeping a cool head under pressure, and for spending the match running his heart out as lone striker. The less said about the now meaningless post-goal badge kissing the better.

1: Stevenage (H) 09/02/08
Saving the most important till last, this was another tap in, but one which could prove to be a pivotal moment in both teams respective seasons. Hopefully one of the other strikers will now be able to take over his fox-in-the-box mantle.
