Barton Town Old Boys' most prolific ever scorer notched up his 200th goal for the KoolSport NCEL Division One club this weekend.Gareth Barlow's superb turn-and-volley to get his club's second in a 9-0 victory at Appleby Frodingham was described by home supporters as the best goal they had seen this season.
It was a fitting time to reach his personal milestone as he did it at the club where he began his non-league career.
He moved from App-Frod to Barton in 2005 and netted 45 goals in his first season as the Swans won the Central Midlands League Supreme Division title.
Due to ground grading issues, though, they would have to wait for another season to move up into the NCEL when Gareth's tally of 40 goals led them to the runners-up spot.
At the new level, he scored 24 in all competitions in 2007/08, 26 in the following campaign and then 32 last season.
Yesterday's strike made it 33 for the 2010/11 season, taking him to the magical 200 mark.
And, the feat is all the more remarkable when you consider that he does not take penalties.
