Strikers names that still send a shiver down the spine

[Maths]

Maybe because we've been in so many leagues over so many seasons, there aren't as many of these as there used to be. However, in this league, any players names that leave you concerned. Must confess I didn't even know Jordan Rhodes was still playing until he came on on Sunday but I heard a few around me utter those immortal words 'well he's bound to score'. Anyone else with that reputation still against us?

 

[PETER SPRUCE 1]

Billy Bastard Sharp.

 

[Trammo]

Andy Lochhead.️️️️

 

[LA1 Seasider]

Bloody Tom Eaves

Far from prolific but whenever he plays against us he plays well, bullies defenders and seems to get a goal late in the game to truly ruin my day.

 

[fcblackpool]

Paul Barnes.

 

[seasideone]

Chris Malkin for other reasons!

 

[Pool CW]

Tony Diamond !

 

[Rotterdam+Sussex_Seasider]

Paul Barnes (?) always scored against us for York.
Kevin Francis until Briggsy got 'im!

 

[Upwards]

Freddy Eastwood.

 

[FlytoKavala]

Chopra

 

[Wizaard]

Craig Madden, until we signed him, ditto Chopra

 

[fcblackpool]

Who were the duo for tranmere? John Clayton.....edit John Byrne

 

[seasidepaddle]

Definitely Barnes

 

[glasshalffull]

Not a striker, but Curtis Davies maybe?

 

[FessParker]

Andy Lochhead.️️️️

Yep , him and John Ritchie at Stoke. 2 big centre forwards we could never handle.

 

[Scaramanga]

Luke Becket

 

[BFCAleman]

Tony agana and Brian Deane


Crown and Lovell

 

[Walthamstow_Seasider]

Bloody Tom Eaves

Far from prolific but whenever he plays against us he plays well, bullies defenders and seems to get a goal late in the game to truly ruin my day.

Wasn't he a player that we were rumoured to be looking at when he was at Bolton?

 

[Cleveleys boy]

Tony Thorpe
Carl Asaba
Stuart Barlow

 

[bill40]

Kevin Phillips any team playing against dreaded him and fans always panicked when he came off the subs bench. One of our own for a while but best not mention that.

 

[nzseasider]

FCB it was John Clayton and Colin Clark . Clark went to QPR and Clayton to Plymouth .

 

[fcblackpool]

FCB it was John Clayton and Colin Clark . Clark went to QPR and Clayton to Plymouth .

Yes it was. Think they both scored against us in one game at BR.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

Wasn't he a player that we were rumoured to be looking at when he was at Bolton?

Yeah when he was about 20/21.

 

[18YearFreeTrial]

Ross Wallace seemed to know where the net was against us

 

[SwannDangerous]

Emile Heskey

 

[Aero]

Billy Sharp for me as well

 

[Thatseasider]

Mike Sheron, you always knew he was going to bag against us.

His name then sent shivers down my spine for other reasons after he's signed for us.

 

[LGDSeasider]

Dion Dublin

 

[Northstandsinger]

Lee trundle was always a pain.

 

[BigHandsOliverKahn]

Ian Muir used to always score against us for Tranmere

 

[1966_and_all_that]

Bob Crowe.

Oh...I see what you mean now.

 

[Tangerinetiltingatwindmil]

Mark Stallard. always seemed to score against us ,usually against the run of play

 

[NornIronSeasider]

Nicky Maynard

 

[Henshman]

Paul Barnes (?) always scored against us for York.
Kevin Francis until Briggsy got 'im!

I bet we were the only side Kevin Francis played against a few times but never scored.
Briggsy was magic.
UTMP

 

[CGP1]

Martin Chivers almost, just a letter short. And he was midfield anyway.

 

[SirHarryThomson]

Mike Sheron, you always knew he was going to bag against us.

His name then sent shivers down my spine for other reasons after he's signed for us.

I remember Sheron and another striker cant remember his name absolutely tore us to shreds in a home game against Barnsley. I thought great signing for us but didn't do anything. See his on coaching staff at Blackburn

 

[Wizaard]

Ross Wallace seemed to know where the net was against us

In losing causes

 

[John Deary me]

Dimitar Berbatov ...I will never forgive him!!

 

[Charlie Gracie]

Nat Lofthouse…

 

[Northstandsinger]

Ishmael Miller and Roman bednar always tore us to pieces then when they signed for us were useless.

 

[tangerinespud]

Kurt Nogan
Paul Barnes
Tony Thorpe
Carlo Corrazin n Steve Butler
Bob Taylor
Kevin Russell
N after leaving us David “rob ya house” Eyres

 

[AngelBFC]

Ian ormondroyd

 

[Dorset_Tangerine]

Brett Pitman ,,,,

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Paul Barnes.

Always scored against us him

 

[April13th1970]

Arthur Scargill & the NUM

Not so much a shiver as a cold chill

 

[Tiptree Tangerine]

Ricardo Vaz Te

 

[zico_bamber]

Roger Eli

 

[basilrobbie3]

Paul Barnes
Billy Whitehurst
Endean & Scullion
Tony Kellow

 

[fcblackpool]

Always scored against us him

I might be wrong but he scored 3/4 for York in a 0-5 home defeat and then did the same for Bury a couple of seasons later. Or perhaps on hearing his name on the teamsheet that's what I feared.

 

[seaside7]

The first name that came to mind when I read this post was Stuart Barlow, and when I read the name above I did actually shudder...

I'd also add James Hayter to the list.
