Okay, so received a message from a mate this morning saying he’d just read an article in The Times (I know) which has Town down as the team with the longest wait to have a 20+ goal scorer in the top 4 leagues. According to the article it was Jack Lewis in the 74-75 season.

Is this right? I was born that season and I’m sure we’ve had a 20+ goal scorer in my lifetime. Super Clive?

If it’s right, just another depressing stat to add to Golly’s list from the other day!

Did Omar not get 20 before he was sold to Wigan?


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Didn't Kevin Donovan get over 20 in the Wembley double season?

Donovan got 21 but that was in all competitions.

I was convinced that Super Clive got 20 in his final season with us but having Googled it, he only got 18.  Bogle left on 19 in January, which is an insane record really.  Would have been 20 had he not blazed over that last minute penalty against Barnet in Bignot's first game in charge.  After Bignot arrived Bogle scored 7 in 4 (and the missed penalty), that was following a run earlier in the season of 6 in 3 (and two assists).   If you you caught him on the right day he was bloody unplayable for us.

We can say it now we've played Newport and he came on as a sub to no effect, but he was an absolute pale shadow of himself on Saturday.  He's up there for me as one of the real wasted talents that we've seen.  Had he really wanted it, he could have gone onto much, much higher levels than he did.

Yeah, I was also pretty convinced by Super Clive. Seems on this occasion The Times has it right!

Think we can sometimes get hung up on the 20+ goal scorer. Buckley showed it’s not needed for success. That said, it would be nice to be on the other end of some the stats we’ve seen recently!

It would be nice to have a couple on 15 and a few others near double-figures with several players chipping in with a handful. We've got so few goals from our defenders and midfielders this season, it's kind of ridiculous.

Wasn't there something on here about 20 goals, LJL, johnnyboy and a sausage?


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
