Name Villa strikers quiz
« on: August 22, 2022, 03:58:09 PM »
Here you go, a quiz on Planet Football. Name the 27 players who've scored more than 10 goals for Villa since football was reinvented 30 years ago.

I didn't get 3 of them.

One or two surprises on there for me, and a poor show overall.

There is an error in that quiz...one of the players who got 12 didn't and a player who got 12 isn't there.

27/27. I wish our actual strikers were as successful.

I will not be having a punt because it helps to perpetuate the fiction that football only began seriously 30 years ago.

25, missed a defender and an obvious number 9.

I apologise for perpetuating it Brian. Putting that bit to one side, it was still an interesting exercise.

No problem

Spoiler for Hiden:
Heskey got 12 league goals for us and Parker got 11.  Just double checked on stat bunker. I typed in Heskey several times and was amazed it didn't 'go green'

https://www.premierleague.com/players/908/Emile-Heskey/overview

The first player you've mentioned scored nine Premier League goals, I have put a link in the quote. The second scored more than ten, as you've said, so I'm not sure why you think that answer is incorrect.
