GARY GETS BETTER OF THE HOLTS

Posted on: Tue 31 Mar 2009

The Holt name was on the scoresheet at Adams Park on Saturday, but I bet many people wouldn't have thought it would have come from Wanderers midfielder Gary Holt.

The other Holt on show in Buckinghamshire was that of Grant Holt, the league's top scorer, and after notching five against the Blues in October bets would have been placed on Shrewsbury's Holt scoring at Adams Park.

But once the Wanderers faithful got past the shock of Gary finding the net rather than Grant, they were able to celebrate the skipper's wonderful 25-yard curling effort which found the top right-hand corner.

Gary Holt said: "I probably won't get too many phone calls because people would have seen it was Holt in a Shrewsbury game and they would have thought it was Grant!"

The wonder strike was Holt's first of the season and afterwards the midfielder joked that Luke Daniels in the Shrewsbury goal shouldn't have even made an attempt to save his shot. 

He said: "It's nice to get a goal because I don't score many. I would like to get more but it's not something I worry about. I don't got to bed thinking I didn't score today.

"I just tried to line it up with the 'keeper, to use him as a screen and bend it. Goalkeepers shouldn't dive for them really, you don't save them!"

But when asked whether this strike would start a goalscoring run of form, he replied: "Not a chance, I get a nosebleed when I get that far forward! It was nice to score and I'm sure one the kids will enjoy."
