Brown, Baker, Henry, Blanchflower, Norman, McKay, Medwin, White, Smith, Greaves, Jones. No wonder we lost. Is that a England XI? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaBoy 2,448 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 On 09/04/2020 at 11:09, Rousseau said: Greaves recorded 6 hat-tricks, so 18 of those 44 goals came in just 6 games. (I believe those hat-tricks came against some of the same sides too.) Clearly he shone bright, but surely Rooney gets bonus points for longevity? What does 'greatest' actually mean? Is Negri our greatest striker for his one wonder season, or is McCoist for doing it over several seasons? (Can you tell I'm bored... ?) I think the latter, consistency, ratio and number of goals all together for me over a one season wonder. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChelseaBoy 2,448 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Chelsea legend. 132 goals in 157 apps, 13 hat-tricks for Chelsea, scoring all four goals in a 4–3 win against Nottingham Forest in his last game giving him 41 goals in 40 league games. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott7 6,154 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The All England XI, footer togs at the ready. Gordon Banks (Leicester) (My big brother says Frank Swift, City) Jimmy Armfield (Blackpool) Terry Cooper (Leeds) Duncan Edwards (United) Billy Wright (Wolves) Bobby Moore (West Ham) Stanley Matthews (Blackpool) Jimmy Greaves (‘Spurs) Bobby Charlton (United) Colin Bell (City) Tom Finney (Preston North End) I didn’t see Edwards or Wright except in very old film but their reputations demand inclusion. I should have had Lofthouse for Charlton but sentiment ruled. Again, Wayne Biggins just misses out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
