In Plymouth Argyle’s 137-year history, only 22 players have hit 50 goals for the club.
But Ryan Hardie is on the cusp of it. And the striker couldn’t have picked a bigger or better stage to try to bag his half century. Hardie will run out at Wembley today for the EFL Trophy Final against Bolton knowing he can write himself into
Pilgrims folklore. There’s a Scot right at the top of their all-time scorers list. Sammy Black from Motherwell – often regarded as Plymouth’s greatest player – scored 184 times in the 1920s and 30s. Hardie has a bit to go to catch him. But the former Rangers forward, who has found a home on Devon’s south coast, would love his landmark strike to come at the UK’s biggest venue.
