Did he have goals chalked off or do we perhaps not count Zenith Data Systems/Simod Cup goals? Just curious. I'll check when I'm back in work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my "dodgy spreadsheet" I have Platt on 64 goals also. 50 league goals, 2 FA Cup goals, 10 League Cup goals and 2 UEFA Cup goals.

Unused Sub Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Great work as always BOF. I keep records myself and know it takes some doing to update them! On a side note, last season we had a record number of goalscorers in a single season (18). This season, despite Tammy being the main goal getter, we managed to be one short of that. Also, in regard to Platty - we got to the regional final of the Zenith Data Systems Cup in 1990, so I assume he would have scored plenty in that. That should be the difference in the two figures.

It'd be almost akin to including the Peace Cup. In fact reading my OP, it literally mentions the ZDS in the top paragraph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 That’s a long list. Not a villa player to score over 100 goals for such a long time, Gary shaw and Brian little would have smashed it but for injuries. Ray Graydon not bad considering he was a winger and there was no 4-3-3 in his day it was 4-4-2 then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Great list. Villa did a social media post a few weeks back asking everyone to post their best Villa 5-a-side team (including ex players). I was amazed at how many picked Juan Pablo as the striker. I mean come on, he was good, but Dwight Yorke was a level above him IMO. That bloke was ridiculously good for us at times.

Mark Albrighton Posted May 24, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 24, 2021 Nice work as ever @BOF When you did this, did you have a sense of which player has been Villa top scorer the most often? By that I mean, Ollie would now have one golden boot, Tammy would be on one, Dean Saunders would be on three.. I promise I’m not trying to make more work for you! It’s partly prompted by the conversation years ago about Dublin being a more consistent scorer to Angel’s one great season, one dud season I just read.

Ooh ya bugger I did a quick lookup on them and I can see that record goes to Harry Hampton who was Villa's top scorer for 8 of the 11 seasons he scored in. The 3 he didn't quite reach top scorer were 1905/06 when Jack Grealish's great great grandfather Billy Garraty scored 21 goals to his 20, and in 1908/09 and 1909/10 when Joe Bache beat him both seasons with 25 v 19 and 11 v 9. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
