Saturday League 2
Torquay v Morecambe over 2.5 goals at 4/5 Coral
Torquay score for fun at home, 16 in 7 home games. In only two of those seven home games has over 2.5 not come in
Morecambe 10 in 7 away games
Little bit of local knowledge here too, I "discovered" Torquay's striker Rene Howe aged 17 playing on a Bedford park in Sunday league in 2003. He was apprenticed in a factory, I found out, and had enormous pace. Looked a raw talent
I was heavily involved in Bedford Town FC at the time, financially as well sadly, and recommended the manager had a look. The assistant manager went along next Sunday, and they signed him on the spot
He scored over 30 goals in under two years, and got the club (virtually singlehandedly) into the Conference South
He was a big lad for an 18 yo and tore the Southern League to pieces, when not being torn to peices by lumbering centre halves himself

At that point he was scouted into the the conference by Kettering then into the league by Peterborough where he didn't quite break through and was loaned out for a couple of seasons, to lots of places, where he scored a few everywhere
Bedford, without him, went straight back to the Southern League and haven't threatened promotion since
Rene now plays for Torquay United, and I follow them from afar
Has scored 7 in the last 9, and is a real handful in League 2 particularly now he has settled a bit with an exteended contract at the end of last season
Not a huge fan of the hair these days though
