FC St Helens, Sat 8th Mar, 3:00PM (A)
When Dave Russell’s team of the 1960/1961 season impressively claimed the Football League Division Three Championship, they did so in swashbuckling style.
Three players – Don Watson, Bill Calder and Alan Jackson (pictured left to right below) – each scored more than twenty goals and the Shakers created a new club record by scoring an impressive 108 league goals.
Speed forward to 2025 and Dave McNabb’s boys have now already beaten that record – and with seven games still remaining!
Those seven goals against Litherland REMYCA, 12 days ago, took Bury’s total for the season to 113 goals and who knows how many the final total might end up as – after the weekend against Barnoldswick Town we stand at 115 goals.
Fantastic stuff lads. Congratulations on creating yet another club record.
