Torquay United looked to be heading nowhere at the start of 2018-19, with the unpopular Gary Owers continuing to struggle in the Torquay hot seat and supporters fed up with the lack of progress. Then it was Owers OUT and Johnson IN. This was Gary Johnson at his best, charming the Yellow Army with likeable soundbites and creating a team that would take the National League South by storm, with much-maligned striker Jamie Reid the figure head, supported ably by the likes of Kalvin Kalala, Saikou Janneh and more. After years of grind and struggle the Gulls had rediscovered swagger and with the title won, the football world seemed a better place as we headed back into the National League.
