After seeing the thread on Dixie's 60 goals, feel a little sympathy for George Camsell who scored 59 goals the previous season. Scored 325 goals in 419 games for Middlesbrough, and has the best goals to game ratio for England : 9 appearances, 18 goals.

Just been reading the will Messi ever play in premier league thread '
thought some of the things were a bit mind blown and interesting so decided too make a thread. These were a couple.

Messi was targeted by Arsenal when he was a youngster but he refused to leave (instead they got Fabregas).

Maradona almost played for Sheffield United when he was 18 but the club wasn't willing to pay his transfer price, such a vision lol... etc

Not true about Maradona. They had a choice between him and Alex Sabella, and chose Sabella.
 
If Harry Kane is the top Premier League scorer this season he will be the first Englishman to achieve the feat since Kevin Phillips in 1999/2000

Still a remarkably feat though. Looking through their results there are some ridiculous scores :

7-3 against Portsmouth
7-1 against Swansea
5-3 against Man City
7-4 against Grimsby
Bobby would have been right at home there with those defences.
