Sewell went one goal better than his team-mate, Lawton, and is known as one of the finest players ever to pull on a Magpies jersey.

He made his debut during the war and his first league match saw him saw score against Norwich City. It was his first of 21 goals that saw him rocket to the top the charts. The Cumberland-born attacker scored five hat-tricks in his County career.

He continued to find the net regularly in Division Two but was later sold to Sheffield Wednesday for a British transfer record of £34,500. Within eight months he was called up to the England squad.

2: Tony Hateley
Goals:114 (109 league goals)
Seasons: 1958-1972

Derby-born Hateley was naturally gifted and a prolific goal-scorer. He, like many of the top ten marksmen, scored on his debut. However, he did it aged only 17-years old.

He played ten times during the 1959/60 season and scored eight times. This saw Notts promoted as they finished 2nd in Division Four.

In his first full season he missed only one game and scored 27 times. He continued to hit over 20 goals in the next two seasons - 21 in 1962 and 22 the year after.

Hateley, like Lawton, was the master of the header. He rose brilliantly on countless occasions to make his mark from attacking set-pieces. His goals ratio attracted numerous scouts and eventually he moved to Aston Villa for £20,000.

Sirrel brought the tall striker back to Nottingham where had success in the top flight. The 1971/72 season saw him score his 100th league goal for Notts.

In the next year Notts slumped to 19th but he reached double figures again by scoring ten. In his third season he scored eight, supplementing Richie Barker's impressive 19 goals.

Sirrel's influence made a huge impact on Bradd's career. In the 1970/71 season Notts finally climbed out of the basement division. They did it in style as Champions - nine points clear of second placed Bournemouth.

It was a side that boasted Barker, Masson and Hateley, as well as one of the best central defensive partnerships seen in County colours - Dave Needham and Brian Stubbs. Bradd scored 11 goals in 37 league games.

In their first season in Division Three Notts finished fourth with the Bomber in fine form. He topped the charts again scoring 21 league goals.

Bradd was instrumental once more when Notts finished second in Division Three and as a result promoted. He contributed nine goals.

Throughout the next five seasons he proved to be as consistent as ever with tallies of ten, six, 16 and a pair of 12s. Quite memorably, he also scored twice against Everton at the Lane in 1975 in an FA Cup replay.
