You can't keep a good man down – as one Norwich City legend is proving.
Jamie Cureton is celebrating after scoring the 350th goal of a career that began on the Norwich City training fields.
Now 43, Cureton reached his milestone on Saturday – and in some style too.
Playing for Bishop's Stortford in the Bostik League Premier Division, Cureton helped himself to a hat-trick in a 4-2 win over Whitehawk.
Afterwards, Cureton tweeted: 'What a great performance and result today by the boys @BSFCTheBlues 4-2 win. Got myself 3 today and in doing so I've hit the 350 mark so a massive personal milestone, and I would like to thank everyone who has help me achieve this along the way.'
