Hooper Scored In All Five Leagues

Gary Hooper

A recent article in Sports Illustrated has noted five players who have scored in every league from the  Premiership to the National League and former Hereford United player Gary Hooper is one of those five.

The others are Jimmy Willis, Steve Finnan, Ryan Yates and Sammie Szmodics.

'Former Celtic striker Gary Hooper went one step further than Wallis and Finnan, becoming the first player to score in each of England’s top six divisions—from the Conference South all the way up to the Premier League—within the space of just nine years.

Hooper began by finding the net in non-league football with Grays Athletic, scoring in both the Conference South and the Conference. He then climbed the pyramid, netting in League Two with Hereford United, League One with Southend United and the Championship with Scunthorpe United.'
