Yep, he was in a team that supplied him well.
61 goals in 138 games. Yes, I do have my Calley to hand.
DJ was a fantastic striker and a very intelligent footballer.
13 goals in 31 Premier League appearances
Always thought Micky Walsh and Bob Hatton were the dogs.
Way before my time I'm afraid.
Lee Hughes with same stat.
Don’t forget their England records too:
perhaps not at Molyneux.
Chris Malkin is similar goals per games stats to Gary Madine.
Mainly against crap opposition Wiz. War time football was very hit and miss.
As opposed to Division 4 for John Murphy and Brett?
He was The goal machine, my best mates uncle and Ephraim 'Jock' carried on supporting the Pool. scored a hat trick against England in about 4 minutes if my memory serves me rightly.
Perhaps to people who have a two dimensional view of football, he is.
He'll be gone at the end of the season so our views on him won't matter but mine is one dimensional when it comes to him, he's not good enough to be a championship centre forward.
Yes he had that knack of appearing to hang in the air. A natural goal scorer with either head or feet!Ray Charnley scored 222 goals for us at a fair lick, more than 1 every 2 appearances.
He's also the best header of a ball I have ever seen in my 60-odd years watching football!
He was in the Guinness book of records for a long time with the fastest ever hattrick. That was in a wartime match.
Weird how we've scored more goals and conceded less when he played last year and won more points when he played last year than didn't and literally the same again this year...
On that note, has anyone said Wayne Gill yet?
He certainly had aesthetic qualities emerging from the sea the cheeky scampsterWeird how we've scored more goals and conceded less when he played last year and won more points when he played last year than didn't and literally the same again this year...
For a player apparently the problem, that looks remarkably like he's actually a solution to me.
But what do goals scored and conceded and points won matter compared to aesthetic qualities...
Fwiw, for me, Gaz is a super sub now (he play Saturday though cos with fuck all creativity available, we won't get anything trying to feed nippy little lads)
I get your point but that was last year and teams and squads are always evolving. I also think he has a role to play from the bench but as Appleton gets more of his own players we will see less and less of him.Weird how we've scored more goals and conceded less when he played last year and won more points when he played last year than didn't and literally the same again this year...

I hope he never finds out that was my fault...
