Bevan Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 I was just wondering since the premier league era started who has scored the most goals in a single season for us. Have we ever had a twenty goal striker in the prem?
martyn Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Cottee got 13 in 1999-2000 which is the highest having just had a look. Had a few get 10+ Dickov, Claridge, Heskey, Ferdinand, Ulloa.
Fox92 Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Don't think we've ever had 20 goals. Cottee, Claridge and maybe Dickov must have been around 15 goals in a PL season.

Sampson Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Don't think we've ever had 20 goals. Cottee, Claridge and maybe Dickov must have been around 15 goals in a PL season. No one got to 15. Last player to score 15 in the top flight was Alan Smith back in 1986-87. Only 5 players to get over 10 goals in a Premier League season: Cottee (1999-00) - 13 Ferdinand (2003-04) - 12 Claridge (1996-97) - 12 Dickov (2003-04) - 11 Ulloa (2014-15) - 11 You'd think if they stayed fit all season and don't leave in January, Vardy and Mahrez could both easily top that. You'd expect Vardy to destroy that record if he stays fit and doesn't leave.
dedlock Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 If we have a player scores 15 and 2 or 3 score 5+ safety will be almost guaranteed. A few clean sheets will help!
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Someone got 13 once. Think it might be Cottee.
Vlad the Fox Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Didn't akinbyi get 11? Or were some cup goals? Legend!!!???? Noooooooooooooooo
Phube Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 So if we forget Cottee and Smith, who is the last City player to score 20+ League goals in a top flight season?
Webbo Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 So if we forget Cottee and Smith, who is the last City player to score 20+ League goals in a top flight season? Lineker?
Sampson Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 So if we forget Cottee and Smith, who is the last City player to score 20+ League goals in a top flight season? Lineker when he won the golden boot in 1984-85. Would be great to see Vardy become the second ever Leicester player to win the golden boot! Smith got 19 a couple of times I think and got 20 if you include cup goals, but never quite made it to 20 top flight league goals.
Captain... Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 What about scoring in 6 consecutive top flight games? Anyone done that for us? Edit: Arthur Chandler has the record for scoring in consecutive games, 8, but that was in the second tier and not all league matches. Chandler and Rowley both scored in 7 consecutive league matches, but that was second tier too.
gerrytaggart Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Anyone know how many Cottee scored in the 99/2000 season?
foxes_rule1978 Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Anyone know how many Cottee scored in the 99/2000 season? Cottee got 13
VLC86 Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 Didn't akinbyi get 11? Or were some cup goals? Legend!!!???? Noooooooooooooooo If the posts were the corner flags and the cross bar the roof of the cop then yeah Akinbiyi got 11 one year.
Jimothy Posted 18 October 2015 Posted 18 October 2015 If the posts were the corner flags and the cross bar the roof of the cop then yeah Akinbiyi got 11 one year. He got 9, so 11 wasn't too far fetched.
Buce Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Cottee got 13. Can't believe it's not been mentioned.
Ross-Kemp Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Does anyone know how many Cottee scored? I think he holds the record.
Cat Burger Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Does anyone know how many Cottee scored? I think he holds the record. I think he only got 12
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 If he stays fit, Vardy will smash Cottee's approximate 12-14 goals I reckon. Full of confidence at the moment, think he'll get his first Leicester hattrick before the year's out
