Tony Kelliow scores his 100th league goal tor city is their 4-3 home win against Preston North End. Tony almost chickened out of scoring the goal which set him on the way to another milestone in his remarkable career. For the City striker revealed after Saturday's seven-goal thriller that having missed two on the trot he was extremely dubious about taking the penalty which brought him the 99th League goal of his career. "As soon as the referee pointed to the spot I thought: "Oh no!" said Kellow. "I did not really want to take the kick - especially as it was at the same end where I had missed the other two. But then I thought I would give myself one last chance.

"Strangely enough I did what you should never do and changed my mind as I was running up to take the kick. "I was going to try to place the ball but I saw the goal- keeper start to move so I decided to blast it instead. Fortunately it finished up in the roof of the net." There was certainly no indecision about the goal 10 minutes from time which finally brought Kellow his magical ton. "It was a typical striker's goal really," said Kellow. "The ball came to me off Pete Rogers' knee and I managed to tuck it away." "You have to react quickly in the box and I think that has been one of my strengths over the years."
