coalvillefox Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 I was having a debate with a friend at work the other day regarding Premier League (old first division) Leicester City goal scorers and struggled to find the info online. Who was the last Leicester player to score 20+ goals in the top division of English football. I think I am right in saying that no Leicester player has scored 20 goals in the Premier League in a single season, so who had the most before Vardy this season?
seymour Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 Without checking I would expect it was Gary Lineker edit: just looked - he got 24 in 84/85
Trav Le Bleu Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 Lineker got 25 goals in the 84-85 season and was Division One joint top scorer.
Izzy Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 I think it was Alan Smith in 86/87 season - old first division. Will be in the history section on here no doubt!
seymour Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 I think it was Alan Smith in 86/87 season - old first division. Will be in the history section on here no doubt! On wiki he only managed 17.... 19 the year before
Izzy Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 On wiki he only managed 17.... 19 the year before You are correct sir. Smith got 20 for the season in 86/87 but only 17 of those in the league. Just checked the history section on here and it's all in there. A brilliant resource and a credit to FT.
HighPeakFox Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 It's worth adding that Lineker's 24 goals were scored in a 42 match season
Izzy Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 It's worth adding that Lineker's 24 goals were scored in a 42 match season Ah, yes indeed. Good point. Extra history bonus points for you HPF!
Aus Fox Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 It's worth adding that Lineker's 24 goals were scored in a 42 match season 5 penalties so technically only 19... How many penalties does Jamie Vardy have?
sylofox Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 5 penalties so technically only 19... How many penalties does Jamie Vardy have? Fvck off with ur pens lol
David Lowe Posted 23 February 2016 Posted 23 February 2016 Penalties still have to be scored. Ask Mahrez.
fox in the sox Posted 23 February 2016 Posted 23 February 2016 Penalties still have to be scored. Ask Mahrez. Correct - they have to be included in a goals tally.
49er Posted 23 February 2016 Posted 23 February 2016 If only we had Steve Lynex around to slot the penalties away. What a forward line - Lineker, Smith and Lynex. Imagine having them at our disposal today. The pace of Lineker and Lynex would be an ideal fit into our counter attacking style of play. Smith's hold up play and height would give us another dimension. Might as well add Kev MacDonald to the midfield!
