The 41-year-old stopper made his landmark appearance in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Histon at the Glass World Stadium.

Bastock, who moved to Boston in the summer of 1992, made 625 appearances during his first spell with the Pilgrims — and has made a further 25 appearances since arriving back at The Jakemans Stadium in March 2011.

The Leamington Spa-born keeper is now 78 appearances ahead of Billy Howells, who made 572 outings for the Pilgrims between 1965 and 1976.
