Aston Villa's all time Premier League top scorer....

[SoccerHQ]

I'm amazed Yorke only scored 60 league goals for us

He has 73 league goals for us altogether

13 in the First Division and 60 in the Premier League.

Ah right. So he was pretty much redundant from 92-95 with Big Ron not fancying him?

Its a bit depressing really seeing how long the PL has been going and our continual membership of it. benteke would probably Knock 60 off in 4 seasons if we can keep him.

I'm so excited i've knocked nearly 60 off tonight. Wait, that's not what you meant is it?

heh.  if you can't knock one off tonite, when can you?

11 goals in all comps, playing from wide. Pretty good. We know Gab isn't ever gonna be prolific, but he should be hitting double figures each year. He did every season under O Neill.

Our front 3 are hitting form nicely. 22 in all comps for Tekkers, 12 for Andy and 11 for Gabbaldinho.
Some goals from midfield next season and a top quality center half, and we'll have no worries of relegation.

There was a point when he wasn't getting a sniff, remember.  Nearly ended up going to Man City for a million quid but nothing came of it for some reason.

We need Benteke to stay and notch a few more if only to knock Joachim out of that top six.

1 more season with us and he'll break that top 6, I'm sure of it.

Well done Gabby let's hope he get's another sixty.

Great night for our goalscorers last night!

[Percy McCarthy]

well deserved.  After a truly horrific 2012 it's great to see him come back as strongly as he has this year.  I think it's pretty important to note that he's looking a lot more agile again, MoN trying to turn him into Carew2 has caused him a lot of issues but he's looking happy now in a position that suits him really well.

Strange, the collective amnesia over this. O'Neill said at the time he didn't know anything about the bulking up, and wasn't sure it was a good idea.

[Somniloquism]

Yep, general consensus was Gabby took the decision on during the summer to bulk up as he felt he didn't have the strength needed to lead the line. Especially when he had that stint on his own up front.

Joachim?  39?!

I asked him tonight how many goals did he get for the Villa, to which replied ''about thirty I think''? He genuinely couldn't remember.

I'd completely forgotten he was with us for so long, I thought he was here 2-3 seasons at the most for some reason.

In real life or twitter?
