Week Twenty-Five


In Week Twenty-Five of the competition we have had our twenty-seventh winner of the season as they picked up the full Jackpot Cash Prize Money of £6, and it all went to JOHN NICHOLLS who won on a score of just 8 goals.
John has been with Golden Goals since the 2005/06 Season and I thank him very much for his loyal support over the years. In that season, John finished in 49th place on a total of 240 goals. He picked up two weekend wins that season picking up £10 in cash. John’s worst season came in 2014/15 where he finished rock bottom with 194 goals and was there for a total of sixteen weeks. The good news with that is that John has the fifth best losers score over our history. Last season John finished in 129th place with 213 goals. This season, he has only been as high as 90th place in our very first week. John has picked up three blank score sheets and his best team to date is Leicester City. Here is his combination
