This season, Prostate Cancer UK is the official charity of the Football League. To celebrate, each week footballer-turned-journalist Adrian Clarke - who played for Arsenal, Rotherham, Southend, Carlisle and Stevenage - is rounding up the best performances by No9s in the Football League, in recognition of the fact that prostate cancer affects one in nine men. In week four (Saturday 8 September), he highlights a towering Canadian super-sub and a reformed golf buggy joyrider...

League 1 star man
Marcus Haber - Stevenage

Why?
When I signed for Stevenage in 2000, Coventry sat proudly in the Premier League while my Broadhall Way team-mates and I battled away as part-timers in the Conference. What a difference a dozen years makes, because my old club are now unbelievably 17 places higher than the Sky Blues in the Football League thanks to a 2-1 success at the Ricoh Arena. It's been a phenomenal rise for the Hertfordshire side and I couldn't be happier for them.
Hero of this previously unimaginable victory was Canadian new boy Marcus Haber, who climbed off the bench to send the Boro fans into raptures. His second-half winner came from a near-post training ground corner routine (as an ex-Arsenal man, this pleases me greatly!), with the Stevenage man reading Darius Charles' flick-on perfectly before powering a bullet header in off the crossbar. It was the kind of goal that big No9s are made for.

Did you know?
The 6ft 3in front man has represented Canada at every level from Under-15's to the full national team, and has often played as a centre-back for the Canucks.

No9s scored a respectable 13 per cent of League 1's goals last weekend

League 2 star man
Jon Parkin - Fleetwood Town

Why?
No9s don't come any more traditional than Fleetwood's Jon 'the Beast' Parkin. Big and strong, the fearsome 30-year-old knows where the back of the net is, as he showed at the Globe Arena on Saturday when registering a perfect hat-trick for the League Two new boys.
Why perfect? First the former Preston striker slotted home with his left foot at the far post; next he outjumped the Morecambe centre-back and goalkeeper to nod in from a corner, before rounding the afternoon off by sweeping home a lovely third with his right boot. Not content with scoring a superb all-round treble, Parkin later curled in a delightful cross with the outside of his right foot to set up Barry Nicholson for a lovely fourth too. What a show-off.

Did you know?
Stoke boss Tony Pulis had to ban 'the Beast' from driving golf buggies in 2007 after Parkin somehow managed to flip one on to its roof during a pre-season tour of Austria, injuring himself in the process.

No9s scored 12 per cent of League 2's bumper crop of 41 goals this week
