Stants in for the kill - Manchester Evening News - Tuesday, 31 Oct 1995:
PHIL STANT gets his goal sights trained on a new target as Bury meet Torquay in a clash the fixture planners could not have arranged better tonight. If the old adage "You are only as good as your last game" holds water tonight, there should be a scoreline of some size. Bury go to Plain-moor fresh from a 5-1 hammering of Mansfield while Torquay may still be in shock after Scunthorpe's 8-1 thrashing that cost manager Don O'Riordan his job. "It's a whole new ball game," Insists Bury manager Stan Ternent. "If there is any reaction, I hope it is in our favour." Stant's goalscoring feats are being featured in a TV special and the cameras were there to capture his four-goal haul at Mansfield. The ex-soldier goes on parade again tonight, spearheading the Shakers' attack.
