Today’s Football 25/26 Season

Played in four world cups, won three, but apart from that. :)
Not overlooked as a player in general, but overlooked due to the league..

A tad condescending, as he's the most well known, respected player out their, but his faithfulness to his home club probably effected how much higher a ceiling he might of had in people's eyes..
 

How many matches ? Just googled Pele, his first 100 goals came in 81 games at 18 years and thirteen days ! I wonder how long it took Dixie Dean to reach 100 goals.
apparently Kane is the fastest this century.

Looking at Dean's stats, as far as I can tell, he reached 100 goals in his 101st match.

Happened to be against the rs:). He went on to score a hattrick so had 102 goals in 101 matches. all just turned 21.
 
Well, by your criterion, the same would apply to any striker up to 1990.
Not really.
There was a glut of goal scoring for a few years after the rule change in 1925 while defenders were adjusting.

Up to the 1960s, teams all tended to play with five attackers too, so high scoring was still more common than it has been since then.

I hope
Brentford beat Man U, because it’s Man U.
Palace beat the 💩
City beat Burnley because Burnley are trying to sue us, would love them to get relegated.
Sunderland beat Forest away because I like the Mackems.
Spurs beat Wolves for Richy.
That is all.
