Rangers record scorers

[MYU]

A few of our more recent 50+ goalscorers - names just from memory, stats from wikipedia:
Rodney Marsh - 106 goals in 211 apps (1 goal per 1.99 apps)
Stan Bowles - 97 goals in 315 apps (1 goal per 3.25 apps)
Kevin Gallen - 90 goals in 369 apps (1 goal per 4.1 apps)
Les Ferdinand - 80 goals in 163 apps (1 goal per 2.0 apps)
Don Givens - 76 goals in 242 apps (1 goal per 3.18 apps)
Clive Allen - 72 goals in 136 apps (1 goal per 1.89 apps)
Mick Leach - 61 goals in 313 apps (1 goal per 5.1 apps)
Gerry Francis - 53 goals in 295 apps (1 goal per 5.57 apps)

Charlie Austin - 39* goals in 71* apps (1 goal per 1.82 apps)
* Just using the current wikipedia numbers

Impressive stats D.

Want Charlie to get in that list, you can do it.

Bowles, Givens, Leach and Francis - lots of goals from players in a great team,
Likewise Gallen,Ferdinand and Goddard were of a similar time IIRC.

A good team will always provide goals, a good player can only do so much. Makes Charlie's goals in the Premier last season all the more impressive!

Gutted when we sold Goddard, apparently he cried his eyes out when we sold him, if we had kept those two together we would have won something for sure!

Yep, that is the downside when you get certain fans saying "we want our Rangers back" - the reality of "our Rangers" was selling all our best players....

Thanks for the stats dsqpr.

Barker, one of the most underrated player we have ever had, hardly ever gets a mention.

remember back in the day bowles , francis , givens , thomas and leach seemed to score all the time great players great times

[qprted]

I

I didnt realise that leach got that many goals in a one in five

ive seen all of the great goalscorers of modern times and trully les ferdinand was just miles in front of all of them

his current transfer price would be 40 million he could leap like a salmon

he could run life a cheatah

he could explode goals from his feet

and his arial supremacy has been amazing

[SteveQPR1975]

Wasn't it harder to score goals in them days aswell the goalie used to pick the ball up from a back pass lol

[theblackmafia.]

Gary Bannister 56 goals in 136 games (1 goal per 4.1 games) or 66 goals in 168 games! That's Wiki for ya. Two hat-tricks vs. Chelsea too

Simon Stainrod 48 goals in 145 games (1 goal per 3.3 games)

Bah, knew I'd forget someone! Thanks blackmafia, I've added Gazza to the 50+ goals list in my earlier post. (I checked two sources and 56/136 seem to be the correct stats).

I did think of Stainrod (doesn't hurt that we have a poster with his name!) but as you saw, he didn't quite make it to 50 goals.

Edit: Many of the wikipedia numbers were for LEAGUE appearances only. I've updated my first post with all appearances and all goals. Stainrod was well over 50 goals in all competitions.

You're all missing the single most prolific striker in our club's history....

Tom Hitchcock. 1 appearance (not even a start) and 1 goal. Take a bow.

London five a sides?

[dsqpr]

I've updated the stats from a reliable source with the numbers for all competitions. Charlie is just behind Rodney for scoring rate but it is a race!

Though I guarantee if Charlie had played in all the World Cup matches Rooney has, he would have scored more than "England's greatest ever striker'" one goal....
