Connell - the Fastest Scorer Since Tees ; with Alan Connell Scoring His 10th Goal in Town's 13th League Game of the Season, People Have Been Asking When Was the Last Time a Mariners Scorer Reached Double Figures This Early in the Season, Who Was It, and How Connell's Early-Season Strike Rate Compares to Previous High Scorers.
