Who do you reckon is the most prolific reds striker over the past 45 years?

HAve a guess and then take a look at this. There are quite a few surprises on there. For isntance No 7, 13 & 21.

 

Bruce Dyer

 

David Geddis, MIck Butler, Frank Beaumont, Andy Payton

At a wild guess.</p>



Look at what? </p>

 

Tony Leighton

 

Top spot, Tony Leighton just shades Geddis. Brian Joicey

had a similar record too

 

Dunno what happened there. Here are 1-20

 

21-40

 

Given thi season with us in this division.. chopra would have topped the list

Je pense

 

41-60

 

61-82

 

People slag Clarkey for letting Speedie go for nowt

but when you look at what he scored in 23 games I suppose you can excuse him.

 

Speedie only had 10 starts for Barnsley n t

 

Though misleading for some

I think it may include sub appearances, Hristov cannot have started 44 games, surely?</p>

It highlights the qualities of the good midfielders we have had in our times. And I consider myself lucky enough to have seen most of the best like</p>

Redfearn, Glavin, Banks, Owen, Hignett, Gray etc</p>

 

Got the stats off here

I think you're right - it must include subs.

 

he started 21 games

three of which were in the cup

 

subs dont add up either

56 appearences with subs, 22 without (not 21 as i said a minute ago)

 

Aye it appears a flawed source though useful

<font size="1">to be fair to the guy who runs the site though I think he will update if informed of errors</font>

 

Nice to see Marc Richards on there despite been labelled ***** on here quite a few times early on in the season!

 

Before that

Cecil McCormack 50 app 42 goals
Abe Blight 45 app 36 goals
John Wallbanks 118 65
John Wallbanks was sold in 1932 which upset Barnsley supporters however we signed 21 year old Blight who hit 31 goals in 33-34 promotion season, and 5 more before a injury at Plymouth meant he was never to play football again.

 

Frank Bartlett

played many of his games at right half
