Linekar is so far ahead of the others it doesn't bear thinking about imo.
Then Charlton, then a wide gap, then the rest.

What about 'own goals'? Joint top scorer in England history!

Havent seen enough to rate charlton or greaves.
Lineker far superior because of when he got his goals.
Shearer ahead of owen and rooney, aswell.
Think rooney has been a disappointment in the realisation of the talent he had.

44 goals in 57 games for Greaves. Some strike rate that.

Sure him and charlton were great but to truly rate them youd probably have to be at least what 55? Teams on surely on the whole stronger now aswell. |

He was pretty prolific at club level too. Argument should be who us as great as Greaves? |

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

Very hard to seperate them for different reasons. Huge gulf to anyone else. Not sure Owen and Rooney are auto top 5 either all time. So many 'soft' goals in their totals. |

Greaves and Charlton first
greaves goal per game was incredible
charlton scored a bucket load playing as attacking midfielder/support striker
Lineker a way behind. not the all rounder charlton was.
Rooney behind that
then Owen
i think, though i would have to go and check, that a higher percentage of rooney's games/goals are in qualifying against also rans as the international game has fragmented/new countries have come in post independence etc etc

i've seen and ready plenty about greaves/charlton to help me decide any poll on here can't be expected to take into account lofthouse, mortensen and further back. |
