No idea who our top ten scorers of all time are but if Charlie bags 25 goals this season - which if he stays fit he surely will - then added to the goals he already has surely he won't be all that far behind clive, les, etc?

George Goddard is our record scorer according to wiki with 172 goals so he would need to be here a few more years yet to challenge that
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity. -
Just checked and Les for 80 league goals for us and Clive 72. Charlie currently has 42 Goals for us.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.Comment

He will be up there or top scorers, has the potential to get to number 2 on the listI blew a lot on vodka and tonic, gambling and fags. Looking back, I think I overdid it on the tonic. - The one and only Stanley BowlesComment

Previous wikipedia numbers were mostly just for league matches and did not include FA Cup, League Cup, Playoffs, and UEFA Cup.Last edited by dsqpr; 09-09-2015, 06:48 AM.'Only a Ranger!' cried Gandalf.

What's Charlie's goal ratio for us? Must be pretty good and would be interesting to compare against previous goalscorersComment

Not in the same league as sir les and I wish we used his full name. Scored his in the premier league and was a complete striker with pace. Fair play to Charlie and last seasons 18 was impressive in a dire team.I played sunday league football today.
Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.
I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.
We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!Comment
