I was surprised how far down Crouch was and even Defoe, who is just behind Chris Armstrong.

I really wanted to see how amazing Kane has been and how poor Soldado has been in comparing our strikers through the years

Where you get these interesting stats from?

Wow Postiga seems the biggest flop from our recent overseas signings

Next season is going to be a massive season for Kane, if he can produce another 20 goals he will be huge property and for once Im pretty sure he will stay with us unless we want to sell him.

 

[Spurger King]

VDV isn't a striker.

 

[VegasII]

Mole the goal ahead of shift and shoot. I wouldn't of expected that. Although both were decent for us.

I also wouldn't of guessed crappy Alan Brazil ahead of Pav, Les, Kanoute & Crouch. Stats can skew anything.

Kane really has done an excellent job for us so far.

On other thing - I'm sure Colin Lee scored more goals for us in one game than both Zamora and Postiga did in their time with us. And did Peter Taylor only play on the wing or something? Surely he must have bagged more than some of the crap at the end of the list?

So Soldado is still better than Adebayor?

And no Darren Bent??

Can't believe I missed him after that debut v BR!!!

29% strike ratio. Same as Alan Brazil

 

[ethanedwards]

Where is Carragher?

 

[mightyspur]

Bit of a misleading statistic really. Should be worked out based on actual minutes rather than just performances. The amount of times for example Defoe came on as a sub with 20 mins to go.

 

[CarrickSpurgus]

Where is Carragher?

Joint 150th with Gary Doherty

 

[Flashspur]

Good to see John Duncan coming higher up in the rankings. He was a great goal poacher for us in the 70's but isnt remembered by many.

 

[Ribble]

Not really fair on Crouch and Fredi, given they were used a lot to bring others into the game.

Even more unfair on Mido though, you've missed him out!

Shocking!

Brilliant debut and a fantastic left foot...

29% with Brazil and Lee

 

[yusrisafri]

Cant be right. Im not believing this crap. How can you not have Rasiak in there?

 

[beats1]

No Alan Gilzean?

 

[southlondonyiddo]

No Alan Gilzean?[/QUOTE


Was Gilly a true Striker or Centre Forward? Never saw him in the flesh...

27% ratio 93 in 343, same as Pav

 

[Spursidol]

Gilzean was a very good CF - but at Spurs was always the 2nd striker in a 442 initially with Greaves and then Chivers.

Probably a 1 in 3 striker at Spurs, but before that with Dundee had a much better strike rate
