Division.

And while a million pound move is top of his Christmas wish list, he would gladly settle for a few more goals between now and the end of the year as Walsall finish off the first half of the season with four matches in a 10 day period starting on Boxing Day.

The Bermudian striker scored twice on Saturday to go with the two he scored last Tuesday in the FA Cup replay against Preston North End. That takes his tally for the season to 13.

A bit of superstition might have been behind his comment when he said: "I hope to get off 13 as soon as possible.'' Even so, Lightbourne is pleased to be scoring again, having gone four games without a goal. Now he can start thinking again about the 20-goal target he has set himself.

"It's good to be back on the scoresheet,'' said Lightbourne this week. "I scored two goals in midweek against Preston and that put me back on track.'' That 4-0 win earned Walsall a home meeting with Premier League team Leeds United in the next round of the FA Cup on January 7. On Saturday his two goals helped Walsall come back from a 2-1 deficit at the half to win 4-3 against Hereford United, the team Kentoine Jennings and Meshach Wade used to play for.

Three of the four goals were headers, with Lightbourne rating the volley he scored from inside the box against Preston as one of the best of his goals during his professional career in England.

"It was off at an angle and I hit it one time,'' explained Lightbourne. "It gave the goalkeeper no chance.'' Saturday's win keeps Walsall in the thick of the promotion race and the busy holiday schedule will either help or hurt their hopes of moving into a higher division.

"We play two of the top teams over the Christmas holiday, Barnet and Doncaster, both at home on Boxing Day and the day after, and if we can win those games we could move up in front of them,'' the leading Walsall scorer said.

"It's really a tough time coming up, with four games inside 10 days. If we can get results after coming back from the Christmas break we could be in second spot. The teams at the top really haven't had bad spells yet.'' New Walsall manager Chris Nicholl has been content to stay with the same players that previous manager Kenny Hibbitt left him with, as Lightbourne has kept his spot in the team despite one scoring slump that lasted for seven games.

"Since he's been here we've only lost one league game, so we're happy with the way things are going,'' said Lightbourne. "The team spirit right now is very good, everybody is quite happy.'' Lightbourne admits he has gotten used to being away at Christmas time, one of the busiest times for clubs in the English League. Not surprisingly he has heard of the controversy surrounding the seven members of the Under-23 team.

"I just think that when people are doing well they have to be so careful about what they're doing,'' said Lightbourne, preferring not to go into detail about the case.

Lightbourne admits that being a professional in England means that he is looked up to by the fans of the club. As a result he tries to be a good role model.

The English game has had its own share of problems lately with allegations of drug taking by top players, match fixing and transfer irregularities by a top manager. Even England manager Terry Venables was under investigation for the way he handled transfers while at Premier League club Tottenham.

"I just try to be careful about what I do, you never know who's looking, that's the way I look at things,'' said Lightbourne. "People recognise me now but I just try not to be big headed about it and try to take it in my stride.

I feel I'm equal to anyone else.

"In England they treat footballers different, they have a lot of respect for footballers in a certain way, they just think you have the perfect job, really.

"I understand the English people more, the way they think. I just respect other people, people who don't work and who are not that fortunate. I respect everyone.'' Kyle Lightbourne
