28 Players to have scored 50 goals for LCFC

[Thracian]

also indicative of the ever decreasing commitment of players and clubs to each other...

Very much so and also the fear that pervades football to such a degree now that, too often, whichever team gets in front so often just tries to defend that lead rather than building on it...including our own.

Anyway, congratulations to Matty. I've criticised him at times and still believe he has things he should be working hard on but there's no doubting he's had a good year or more and the record shows that anyone scoring 50 goals has reached a creditworthy milestone.

Reading that list it's even surprised me how many goals Walshie scored - the defender really could be lethal up front and at one time it could have been argued he was a better striker than centre-back.

I didn't realise Mike Stringellow scored so often - or Wee Davie Gibson. Stringy is often overshadowed in conversation by the brilliance of Gibbo but he was one lethal left winger. Very direct and consistent.

I've mainly pictured Gibbo as being our master architect. A guy who saw the pictures and had the skill to deliver any pass to any player and, in particular, to drop the ball onto Stringfellow's toes without him needing to change step even at full pace.

The stats reminded me that Gibbo did get up into the danger areas and he could finish sweetly. What a wonderful partnership they made - a threat to even the best opposition in the land. Happy days.

Have only seen two of them Walsh & Fryatt. I've been a season ticket holder for 17 years as well.Thought Iwan Roberts would be up there but just checked and he got 41 goals.

Yet ironically the 00's saw the sale of our most expensive striker and player of all time

Heskey scored 46 goals in total for us, not bad considering he was never expected to score loads and spent almost all his time playing in the Premier League for us.

as for Muzzy he got 47 for us in all competitions

Derek Hines (117) was my great uncle (grandads brother on my mums side)

A.Chandler – 273 * A.Rowley – 265 * E.Hine – 156 * D.Hines – 117 *A.Lochhead – 114

G.Dewis – 113 * G.Lineker – 103 * J.Lee – 97 * M.Stringfellow – 97 * J.Duncan – 95

D.Liddle – 92 * J.Walsh – 92 * S.Smith – 85 * A.Smith – 84 * M.Griffiths – 79

F.Worthington – 78 * K.Keyworth – 76 * J.Bowers – 71 * A. Maw – 64 * S.Walsh – 62

S,Lynex – 60 * F.Shinton – 58 * J.Sinclair – 53 * D.Gibson – 53 * H.Addock – 52

G.McAllister – 51 * M.Fryatt – 50 * T.King – 50

Fryatt will be the first that many on here will have witnessed because they've been pretty thin on the ground.

I've seen 12 of them, 5 in the 60's, 1 in the early 70s, 5 throughout the 80's including Walsh into the 90s. Fryatt being the only one since Walshy. Reflects what a shitty period the naughties have been.

Of those the 6 highest scorers were out and out strikers the others being made up of 3 wingers, 2 mid-fielders and 1 defender

Perhaps also an indication of how difficult it has become to actually score goals - not sure about that though could just be Leicester City

Arthur Rowley will always remain a MASSIVE legend.

Whats he on now?. 42 is it?.
