The final whistle has been blown on our historic 33rd Season
of Golden Goals and it was not a great season for goals. But it
was the season that we managed to beat our highest ever record of entries with
119. The success of the season was all down to you. The good news is that we do
not have to wait long for the next season to start. Although we once again lost
a few friends this season, we have also gained a lot of new ones. Lets hope
that we can continue with this nice run as we have had a lot of success over
our full 33 year history of Golden Goals.
So it’s Congratulations to RICHARD WILLIAMS as he now becomes our 33rd Champion with Golden Goals and takes the prize money of a grand total of £100 in winnings. We can now add Richard’s name in our history book and in the Champions League where he finished in 23rd place on 298 goals. Richard had the combination of HIBERNIAN (88) MANCHESTER CITY (97) and RANGERS (113). Just two of his teams finished in our top best three teams and they were Manchester City and Rangers. Richard picked up just three blank score sheet throughout the season and his highest score was 12 goals in weeks 9. Richard had a total of 20 week’s at number one with six of them all in the last six weeks of the season. In the end he finished five goals clear of Simon Dickinson who finally finished in second place.
