TIVVY ARCHIVE

The unofficial archives of Tiverton Town Football Club


Ron Hitchman

By scoring in a remarkable 24 consecutive games at the start of the 1954/55 season Hitchman created a club record that is unlikely ever to be beaten. Like teammate Ray Seatherton he moved into the professional game, but rounded out his career back at Tiverton in 1962.
