Striker at heart.

When people say that a striker’s instinct never fades, it has never been truer than for Jamie Cureton.
At 50 years old, the English forward has just achieved a genuine feat, as reported by the BBC.
Having played for clubs such as Norwich, Reading, Swindon Town, and QPR, the former England U18 international has accomplished the remarkable achievement of scoring in each of the top ten tiers of English football.
It must be said that the fellow began his career in the Premier League in 1994, where he scored four goals in his first season.
For the rest of his professional career, he would oscillate between the second and third divisions, performing mainly in the latter. Notably, he even claimed the Championship top scorer title in 2007.
For the past few years, the striker has enjoyed playing in various lower divisions while continuing to find the back of the net.
Last weekend, during a 4-1 victory in the Eastern Counties League Division One North (10th division), Cureton even managed to score his first goal with his new club, Kings Park Rangers. This achievement allowed him to have scored in each of the top ten tiers of English football.
Despite this magnificent accomplishment, it’s probably not the last for the striker, who explained to the BBC that he is "four or five goals short of reaching 400, it’s something I’d like to achieve."
