Traditionally a football team's number nine is your weapon, your main source for goals.

John Hobbs is no exception to the rule, working best when linked up with legendary Strike partner Mark Brennan, the Brennan-Hobbs partnership looks sure to see United prosper.

This cocky southern lad  has it all in front of goal, you give him the ball and 8 times of of 10 he'll knock it in the onion bag.

Hobbs adds real fire to what was a lacklustre frontline and gives the team genuine belief when they look to play the ball upfield.

Already into double figures for 03/04, Hobbs is sure-fire favourite to finish as the club top goal scorer for the year and will undoubtably do so.

United's best chance for goals, if he stays fit will be one of the shining lights for this year's promotion campaign.

Last season's management acknowledged their need for goals going into the new campaign and moved swiftly to secure his services, seeing Hobbs put pen to paper for United just before the Abramovich takeover at Chelsea.

It was understood the London club were interested in taking Hobbs back to the capital, the Russian billionaire refused to comment, however Claudio Ranieri was allegedly translated as saying, "He's fuck all without a big man laying it on a plate for him."

Ranieri's comments have been refuted by Chelsea, but Hobbs had this to say before jetting off to his Luxury Self-Catering Holiday, "I fucking love the shirt! I'm wearing this on the beach!"
