Title: Quiz
Post by: Dave on December 07, 2012, 10:13:57 PM
While quietly checking a reply to another post, I came across a list of the 100 top Premier League goalscorers. I was surprised to see that of that 100, 18 have played and scored for us. Of those hundred, two of them have played exclusively for us.

Off you go.

I'll take wild guesses at John Carew & JPA

Agbonlahor?
Title: Re: Quiz
Post by: Dave on December 07, 2012, 10:19:14 PM
That's the two that have scored only for us. Carew is a no on both counts.

I'll have a punt on Gabby and JPA as the exclusive scorers.

PS - that's still sixteen to get.

Edit - fifteen. Pires only scored in the cup. Blackburn I think.

This could be laughably wrong, but Harewood?

I know he got 15+ for West Ham one year, and 4 or 5 for us. There's 20 odd so he can't be far off.

Similar thinking for Carlton Cole...

Title: Re: Quiz
Post by: Dave on December 07, 2012, 11:03:44 PM
As a final thought, I find it quite impressive that of the top hundred goalscorers of the last twenty years, nearly a fifth of them were scoring goals for us. Even if one of them was Carlton Cole.

When you consider that twenty of them scored for ManYoo, nineteen of them scored for Villa.

Post-script: Arsenal goalscorers - eleven. Chelsea goalscorers - nine. Man City goalscorers - eight.

Dave, forgive me if I'm being a bit thick, but was it nineteen? Or eighteen as you said in the OP?

Nineteen - I realised halfway through (end of the first page) that I forgot Chris Sutton.

Question stolen from another forum - who is the Villa player with the best win percentage (subject to playing a minimum of 20 matches) since football was invented in 1992?

We won 53% of that matches in which he played.

Gareth Barry?
[/quote

Doubt it. More likely to someone who was only with us during a really good period such as '92/93 or '95/96-/96/97 or possibly '07/'08/-09/10 but Gareth was also part of sides that finished 16th (in '03 and '06).
