CENTRE-back Michael Townsend made the most Football League starts for Hereford United in their relegation season.

Townsend started 36 matches and added three further appearances a substitute.

His overall number of appearances, however, was trumped by veteran striker Delroy Facey who included eight substitutes in his total of 40 matches.

Nicky Featherstone also started 36 matches and was a replacement in two others, with his total of 38 matched by Tom Barkhuizen who had six substitute appearances in his tally.

Blackpool loanee Barkhuizen headed the goalscoring list with 11 and the teenager added one more in cup competition to round off his dozen.

The mercurial Yoann Arquin finished in second place with 11 goals overall, eight of which came in the Football League.

What is rather more remarkable is that in a total of 182 league appearances, the sextet of Townsend, Featherstone, Simon Clist, Ryan Green, Kenny Lunt and Stefan Stam failed to find a goal between them.
