That's true but he wasn't as prolific as that sounds. Don't forget he was only 16 when he came into the first team. In 9 seasons he only broke the 20 mark once. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

Rafferty, Hunt, Johnny Scott ,Keith Jobling, Ron Cockerill, Don Donovan, Jimmy Fell, Cliff Portwood etc, Tim Ward was manager then. Great memories. My era. What a great team-obviously did but I can't seem to remember them ever losing. There were none of the millionair bigheads as there are in todays game-everybody was down to earth. They all had their own individual positions and most teams played to a set formation- it was even headlines when the twin "striker" was introduced--oh the good old days when you could pronounce your centre forwards name and the clubs owned by local magnates-at least we are lucky in that respect.

He scored 102 in all competitions in 313 appearances of which 39 were as sub. according to my Les Trigg bible. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

Don't think either site takes his cup goals into account.

I can remember games where he was given some stick for his work rate or lack of it by some supporters. After the initial euphoria of his debut and a few appearances he seemed to stagnate and become quite easy to play against. It was when Trevor Wymark came in 1980 that Drinkell learned what to do and turned into a proper striker and was looked at by bigger clubs. Eventually he went to Norwich for a paltry fee and did well there before moving on to Scotland. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."
