ANDY BOOTH is looking forward to welcoming Jordan Rhodes to a select club.

Only seven men have previously reached 30 goals in a season for Town, with the current club ambassador the last to do it back in 1994-95, when promotion from League I was clinched with a Wembley win over Bristol Rovers in the play-off final.

Booth bagged his 30th beneath the Twin Towers to join Sammy Taylor (41 in 1919-20), George ‘Bomber’ Brown (37 in 1925-26 and 35 in 27-28), Dave Mangnall (a club-record 42 in 1931-32), Jimmy Glazzard (31 in 1952-53 and 32 in 54-55), Craig Maskell (33 in 1988-89) and Iwan Roberts (34 in 1991-92) on the list.

Rhodes is on 27 after his phenomenal five-goal haul in the 6-0 televised triumph at Wycombe a week ago.

Already among Town’s top-10 scorers with 72 in all, he aims to match Anthony Pilkington’s achievement of last season by scoring in six matches in succession when Oldham visit the Galpharm.

That would keep the 21-year-old firmly on course to become the club’s fastest ever to 30, a record currently held by Mangnall, who reached the mark on February 13, 1932, when he hit four in a 6-0 FA Cup third-round replay win over tomorrow’s visitors.
