Most OAFC appearances without a goal?


Recommended Posts

Who played the most games for us without ever scoring a goal? 

 

Asking as this is a 6 year olds definition of our worst ever player :lol::grin: 

 

I like the sentiment so won't be discouraging it at this juncture :lol:

There's a lot to be said  for the wisdom of 6 year olds. I remember watching England on the TV with my daughter who was 6/7 and trying to explain the concept of the national team i.e. It's made up of the best players from all the club teams. She thought about it for ten seconds and said which one's Chrissie Porter?

Tommy Bell played 181 times for Latics 1946-52 without scoring.

His son Graham did a bit better - 9 goals in 182 matches 

 

John McCue played over 500 games in his career and managed 2 goals. Alas in his 56 appearances with Latics he never found the opposition net.  Indeed whenever I watched him play for us I don't recollect him ever crossing the halfway line.

He was a cultured defender though. 

I sometimes wonder what his own goal tally was?

Gregan played 120+ and only scored once but his o.g at Scunny cancels that one out anyway surely.

 

To think at one point he'd played 1 scored 1.

 

Pretty sure Gregan managed a second goal at somewhere like Exeter or Yeovil away in the Penney season?

I couldn't remember another but checked Wiki which credits him with only 1
