Super Sam Is The South's Star Striker!

Sam Higgins and goals go hand-in-hand - rarely does the big centre forward ever go through much of a barren spell inside the box.

Even when his East Thurrock United side aren’t in the best of form, John Coventry can always rely on his top scorer to get them going.

A 26-goal season playing for a side who ended the campaign in the lower half of the table says it all.

Rocks captain Higgins had landed the Golden Boot now in three of his past four seasons wearing yellow. He’s simply the striker who deal in goals.

Despite great years for Dartford’s Alfie Pavey and Havant hitman Jason Prior, he eventually took home another leading scorer trophy by three goals.
