Our Second Highest Goalscorer


Recommended Posts

The article on the website about Roger Palmer obviously mentioned he is our highest scorer, but how far ahead is he of whoever is second.. and third for that matter?

 

I've only known us in League One so i doubt anyone from my time will be anywhere close, but having heard of the goodtimes from my dad and on here, i'm familiar with names and videos

 

So what would be interesting is any sort of all time goal scorers list for us? Thanks in advance!

Based on this list, which I think is out of date (but shouldn't matter with our last few years of non-scoring) and only covers post-war years:

 

Roger Palmer (1980-94) - 141

Eric Gemmell (1947-54) - 109

Andy Richie (1987-99) - 94

David Shaw (1969-78) - 91

 

Not sure if this is just league or includes cup goals.

The 4-1 win at City on August Bank Holiday if I recollect was an astounding game.

 

We should have been 3 up before we scored.

 

Palmer scored a sublime hat trick & Milligan's goal was a belter ....and as for City's pen , one of the worst you will ever see.

 

 

 

Footnote...... I think we did not win away from home again for 6 months & City got promoted. We did them a favour , showing them how bad their team was & they got it sorted.

Cecere and Bunn missed a shedload between them and City missed a pen too

 

Next away win was our penultimate away game at Leicester! Turning point for City was signing Megson in the January, shored up the midfield and got a scrappy winner on his debut at BP.

Nut-megged Rhodes didn't he?

Was that our last loss at home for a while too?

Didn't lose a home game between January 1989 and end of March 1990 when we finally succumbed 2-0 to a brutal Sheffield United, Ian Marshall missed a penalty at 0-1.

 

38 home games, scored in every one and averaged over 2 goals for per game

 

P38 W25 D14 F95 A37 FTS 0

 

How did that team react to their first home defeat in a year? They went unbeaten at home for a week short of another year!
