Who is our greatest striker of the post-war era?

[dholliday]

Post-war as otherwise Dixie would dominate the poll.

Could be a close one...and stats aren't everything, some of these won major trophies. Tho' some of yous will define not on what the team won but simply how excellent the striker was. Almost didn't include Lineker but one golden season is still something to cherish so he's in (also why Yakubu gets a slot).

I'm guessing Sharp will win, with Joe close behind, but personally my vote goes to Bob Latchford. Supreme striker who was just between two great eras so missed out on trophies.

Fred Pickering. Seriously.

Yes thanks, Argentina was lovely.

Post which war ?

post-war refers to post-1945

The stats suggest Lukaku

Just one again highlighting the stupidity of us selling him

Where's the Oumar option?

Why would you nearly not include Lineker? I thought he played for us as a striker? Was he before the war?

Just the one season, some such polls or debates have excluded Lineker because of this. But he has to be included because that single season was just so brilliant.

Lineker was utterly deadly. Get's the nod for me despite only being one season (how did we not win anything that year? Ffs). Big Bob and Sharpy obviously up there too, alongside Rom I guess, seeing as he's the best we've had since Linekers time. Others were way too early for me to cast my vote upon, legends though they may be.

If we had kept him he would have been our best by a country mile.

I don't know what you mean, why would you exclude him? Why did the other polls you mention exclude him?
