Whilst it won't be at the forefront of the player's minds when they take to the field on Saturday, Paul Wotton's Torquay United will be creating a small piece of history should they emerge victorious against Ebbsfleet United.
Not only will the Gulls be extending their home record to five league wins out of five, they will also be emulating Bruce Rioch's class of 1982-83, who also won their opening five encounters in the league at Plainmoor.
Of greater importance to Wotton would have been the return to training of injured midfield men Callum Dolan and Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, winger Dylan Morgan and forward Louis Dennis. What role the quartet end up playing on Saturday remains to be seen, the danger of rushing them back to soon needs to be taken in account.
It is therefore likely that Wotton will have more options available from the bench. However, one player won't be featuring United will be young striker Jaydn Crosbie who has joined Dorchester Town on loan.
Despite finishing bottom of the National League, Ebbsfleet, now managed by former Scunthorpe and Crawley midfielder Josh Wright, are expected to be amongst the league's big hitters.
Experienced skipper Max Ehmer was a teammate of Wotton during a spell with Yeovil Town in 2010-11 and other figures such as goalkeeper Mark Cousins, midfielder Toby Edser and former Exeter City striker Josh Coley have crossed paths with the Gulls in recent years.
Although they've only scored eight goals this season, the Fleet have only conceded seven and won their opening three matches of the campaign.
This potentially rules out the kind of goal fest that the Plainmoor faithful witnessed in the Gulls' last league encounter with Slough Town, which United won 4-2, but don't forget the last meeting between the two sides in January 2020 was a goalless draw after they had conceded 117 goals between them in 2019-20.
