Matt Rhead v Coventry City

Matt Rhead was disliked by supporters of almost every club he played against, but in Lincoln, he’s a legend. Some of his best goals came before the Cowley brothers arrived – one was an overhead kick from outside the area. As the Imps climbed he became a classic target man who harried and harrassed defenders, but in this game, he channelled his inner Marco Van Basten. The Imps needed a win to cling on to the final play-off spot, with Coventry one of their rivals. Rhead’s stinging effort came after just one minute, giving them a platform to go on and win 4-2.
