Top Flight leading goal-scorers

[Ollie d]

How many of them goal-monsters also had no work rate and industrial springs for feet?

...when I was little my dad told me Dean used to take penalties with his head. I was as gullible then as I am now.

That is only twelve, Tom.

The OP says there are thirteen

Twelve is impressive!
But yes there are 13 apparently.
And Spurs / Arsenal are next best with 12 and 11.

I wonder who the thirteenth is.

Was given bad info I'm afraid!
There are only 12 according to this -

Well Lineker never did any defending, does that count?

My grandad used to tell me what I now believe to be an apocryphal tale, but when I was a boy I thought it was true, that Dixie was walking down Lime Street one day and legendary RS goalie Lish Scott was walking toward him from the opposite direction.

Dixie nodded at him in greeting and Lish dived into the gutter

Still gives me a buzz thinking about some of his goals

Closest thing we ever had to Ian Rush.

Wasn't Joe Royle, was Jeff Astle that year. I thought of Royle too.

All roit Jeff?

The strikers of that era were my boyhood heroes, Adrian Heath, Andy Grey, Graham Sharp and for one fleeting season, Gary Lineker. I refuse to hear any wrong about any of them.

Nothing wrong with any of them, it was a different game in those days. Strikers didn't have to track back, and you didn't defend with 11 men behind the ball (unless you were Arsenal!).

Boring boring Arsenal!

My father used to tell me the same tale. I believed it too.

I thought of Roy Vernon in 1962-63 but then instantly thought of Jimmy Greaves with Spurs, which it was with Thirty
Seven goals, wow, good job we had Alex Young weighing in to help Vernon that season.

Sky Sports wisdom will tell you none of them count as they were before the premier league
