It's a long time since the Bulls were top of League Two. In fact it was back in September 1984 when this last happened. John Newman was the manager and after seven games the Bulls were top of the League Division Four as it was called at that time. The Bulls had won six of their first seven games and had they won their next game, against Chesterfield, would have broken a Football League record.

Stewart Phillips was top scorer with four from the seven games.

Meanwhile youngster Craig Jones was on target four times in the Young Bulls 3-1 victory over Cheltenham Youth this morning. However one was an own goal.
