Worst Premier League Strikers

How do you 'rate' a striker? Ormerod scored 12 goals in 98 league appearences for us, mostly in the Premiership. A strike rate of one in eight would mark him as far worse than many on that list. Yet most Saints fans remember him affectionately and he probably won't make a list of the top 10 worst Southampton strikers - well perhaps not the top 5 anyway ;)

 

What do you think would be the top 10 worst Saints strikers?

 

I'll nominate Uwe Rosler for the list.

Gotsmanov didn't get much of a look-in though since Shearer, Rod Wallace, Rideout and MLT were around. He only made a couple of starts and when he did play I thought he actually did quite well. Really he was probably only signed to keep Cherednik company, but he did score against England at Wembley.

Fair point - I wonder if he was on the forgery lark that Cherednik got associated with.

 

Saints players who have scored against England at Wembley - step forward Ron Davies!

It's a difficult one, isn't it? We could easily add Mark Hughes, an internationally-renown striker, but rubbish for us in that position and ended up as a midfielder...

Neil Shipperley was utter shite IMHO. I'd put him near the top of the worst 10.
