Aaron Collins scored five of the most valuable goals in recent Bristol Rovers history in the past fortnight, but it is his joyous antics in the aftermath of a remarkable promotion that have cemented his hero status in BS7.
The 24-year-old did some exploring of that postcode on Saturday night, climbing atop traffic lights in Gloucester Road in full kit as Gasheads revelled in the delight of a unique final day that saw Rovers muster a 7-0 thrashing of lowly Scunthorpe United to rip a place in League One from the clutches of Northampton Town.
Collins was instrumental in overturning Rovers' five-goal deficit on the final day, spearing a fierce strike into the corner to put the Gas three ahead early in the second half, raising faint hopes on the terraces that promotion was still in play. By the time Collins tapped in his second, making it 6-0 11 minutes from the end, the outcome appeared a certainty. However many goals Rovers needed at that stage, they would have got them.
