Torquay United striker Rene Howe will be aiming to join a select band of Gulls' player who have scored in seven consecutive league fixtures when Torquay face Bristol Rovers this weekend.
Howe, who is currently the Gulls' top scorer in the current campaign with nine goals to his name, will draw level with Sammy Collins and Carl Airey who found the back of the net in seven straight league games for Torquay in the 1954-55 and 1989-90 seasons respectively.
It is also worth noting that he was on target for the Gulls against the Pirates last season at the Memorial Stadium in a game that saw Torquay face former manager Paul Buckle, who had at that point recently left Plainmoor to take charge of the Pirates.
The Rovers side on show that day included five former Torquay players, namely Scott Bevan, Craig Stanley, Mustapha Carayol, Chris Zebroski and Jo Kuffour, whilst Howe was the sole former Pirate appearing for the Gulls.
Howe scored the opening goal as the Gulls ran out as 2-1 winners and many of the Torquay faithful will be hoping for a repeat performance and result.
On Saturday, however, he will be one of three former Pirates players who will be set to feature for the Gulls, along with Aussie defender and recent League Two team of the week nominee Aaron Downes and goalkeeper Michael Poke, who both enjoyed loan spells at the Memorial Stadium last season.
Howe is also the first Torquay player to come within touching distance of equalling the record since David Graham found the back of the net in six consecutive games during the 2002-03 season.
