david in sweden Posted 31 December, 2009 Share Posted 31 December, 2009 (edited) seeing Rickie's name with his 18 goals at the top of the goalscorers list; I wondered how many prev.strikers might have scored 20 goals BEFORE the New Year? (It was a few more than I thought...at first) Charlie Wayman scored 21 (by Dec 31st) in 1948/49. (so too did) Martin Chivers (21) in 1965/66 . (and not to be forgotten): Ron Davies also scored 21 before New Years in his first season 1966/67 other near misses were; George O'Brien 19 in 1961/62 and George (again) 18 in 1964/65 Since then goals have been harder to come by at the top level, in fact only 3 players have scored 20 or more in a whole season since the Prem began. Le Tissier (3 times), Beattie and Rasiak. BUT before you think I've cheated you. The real winner was: Derek Reeves (the clubs record scorer in a single season) In season 1959/60 DR scored 28 goals BEFORE New Years Day ! - no wonder we got promoted. So Rickie - you've got something to aim at in the second half of the season, and long may you continue.

VectisSaint Posted 31 December, 2009 Share Posted 31 December, 2009 Lambert has 20 goals already. 1 V Orient (for Rovers) Unless you are referring to just league games. Clearly he was referring to goals for Southampton, so the Rovers goal does not count in this context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, but at the end of the season he will be credited with that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the stats of "goals scored for Southampton" he won't (of course he will in stats for goals scored during the season) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
