At just 18 years old, in the words of our retiring Chairman Brian Edwards, he doubted young Ricky realised just what he achieved when he took a hat-trick in consecutive SNEL games, firstly against Woodford Green for our 2nd team, then one week later for our first team against Old Brentwoods.
A super effort, I suspect a place in the club history forever, as this will be one feat that will be very hard to be bettered.
