Gulls Take Place in League's All-Time Top Ten ; United Become Only Eighth Club in History to Keep Nine Successive Clean Sheets [Edition 3]

In the process, they became only the eighth club in League history to go nine or more games without a goal against. Ironically, it was a Bevan 'own- goal' in the 29th minute of a 2-1 win over Shrewsbury Town at Plainmoor in April that was the last effort to go in against United.
