Stan Mortensen had a 15-match scoring run for Blackpool in the 1950-51 campaign but it was not in back-to-back games due to injury.

Just four seasons ago “Hapton Hitman” Seddon, who has family in Padiham, partnered the England global in a front three at Fleetwood Town, which also included Tranmere Rovers’s Andy Mangan, as the Cod Army were crowned champions of the Conference.
“Somebody sooner or later will break the record but I hope Jamie keeps on scoring and keeps the record for a long time”, Ranieri said. I wanted to change one of the strikers and he was limping and that’s why I chose him.
And nothing, it seems, will stop him taking to the field at Swansea as he looks to become the first player to score in 12 consecutive top-flight games since Jimmy Dunne did so for Sheffield United in 1932. “Fair play to them – and on the record as well”.
Manchester United, for whom van Nistelrooy set the benchmark sequence during the trophy-laden reign of Alex Ferguson, will on Saturday stand in the way of Vardy’s attempt to relieve the Dutchman of his place in the history books.
“If you look at last season, the first 13 appearances saw one goal in 889 minutes, only 14 shots versus 41 this season”.

“I think we put in a very good shift in today and in the end a point was probably a fair result”.
Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel believes that Leicester City forward Jamie Vardy would struggle if he was to move to Old Trafford, the Daily Star reports.

“I wrote “great achievement, great record, 11 goals in a row” – also his team-mates signed it”. I want to score as many goals as I can but first and foremost is Leicester City and if anyone else scores to get us three points then I’ll be happy.
Van Gaal said: “When you see the data against PSV they were the highest data physically of the whole season of Manchester United and nobody knows that”.
But there was no celebrating from the England worldwide after the match.
Speculation as to whether Vardy would claim the record outright had been rife since he equalled it in last weekend’s 3-0 win over Newcastle United and he said that he done his best to block it out.

In fact, my Manchester United-supporting brother in law with whom I was watching the game, turned to me mid second half, and said “I’ll be glad to leave here with a point”. “Yes, because he is important for us like Klose is for the national team”.
