A six-year old dynamic striker has used Albion stars as his inspiration to net in 120 goals in a season.
British club Seagulls' supporter Freddie Sharpe notched up the incredible tally in his debut season for Denton and South Heighton Junior Football Club's under-sevens.
According to The Argus, striker Freddie posed for a photograph with his commemorative shirt when he reached three figures in April but carried on scoring goals until the end of the season.
Freddie joined Jason Novis' team in January last year and made an immediate impact.
Team manager Novis said that the kid is absolute dynamite, adding that he remembers when he first rocked up to training and banged in a hat trick.
Novis said that Freddie's dad was a good player and he feels that the kid wants to follow in his footsteps.
The team manager said that in his first game for them the striker had scored seven goals and had already passed his dad's record by Christmas and carried on going.
Freddie's dad Michael Sharpe said that his son was pretty much born with a football at his feet. Michael said that he used to play on a Sunday and was on the sideline with a ball, but he feels that his son's tenacity and desire to win sets him apart from the other kids.
Michael's goal-scoring record was 44, and he was more than happy to see his son obliterate his haul. And with dad having played county football, Novis thinks that Freddie has what it takes to make the leap to pull on his beloved blue-and-white shirt one day.
