And even that one goal was in a game that we lost 3-1, and he took so long to shoot that he nearly missed the opportunity.
Remember we're not talking about someone who had no chances. He played 48 (yes, 48) times for Reading. He had one-on-ones with the keeper, he had close range shots, he had chances to get his toe onto the end of goalmouth scrambles, he had chances to run into space and pick up the ball.
And yet every single chance (bar one) was either blocked, saved or more usually missed.
Paul Brayson - the only striker in the history of world football to go through an entire season playing most games and not score a single goal. Not one. None at all. Nada. Zilch.
In fact, less goals than our Academy goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown scored last season.
