You can actually make a passable XI from our top 11 appearance makers. That is the least creative midfield 3 of all time but they'd run loads

		Paddy Kenny (G)
Rob Kozluk (D)	Neill Collins (D)	Chris Morgan (D)	Phil Jagielka (D)	Stephen Quinn (M)
		Nick Montgomery (M)
	Michael Doyle (M)		Chris Basham (D)
		Michael Tonge (M)
		Billy Sharp (F)

 

[Punk Blade]

Player with the best goals per appearance record - Jan Aage Fjortoft - 23 in 41, 0.56 goals per game. Miraculously, Martin Smith is second, Andy Gray is third and Nick Blackman is 4th .

Player with the best goals per league appearance - Jan Aage Fjortoft again - 19 in 33. Gray second, Beattie, Sharp, Saunders and Deane are above Smith now.

All very good, but Andy Gray’s record seems completely unbelievable to me.

Also in the top XI appearances I’d put Bash at RWB, Kozzy LWB and Quinn in midfield.

Not sure what to tell you about Andy Gray. It is what it is

Not sure what to tell you about Andy Gray. It is what it is

My memory is of a lazy, inconsistent forward who wasn’t an out and out goal scorer. Maybe I’m just wrong. Maybe they were all penalties!

I was there watching. He scored a few but I was surprised as well

You say "passable". I wouldn't be very confident of any decent passing with a midfield 3 of Monty, Doyle & Basham

 

[Blade for Sale]

My memory is of a lazy, inconsistent forward who wasn’t an out and out goal scorer. Maybe I’m just wrong. Maybe they were all penalties!

He was certainly a lazy sod but he knew where the goal was and took a cool penalty. For me he was a bit harshly treated by the crowd, at a time when we weren't blessed with prolific strikers he was only one scoring regularly.

He was certainly a lazy sod but he knew where the goal was and took a cool penalty. For me he was a bit harshly treated by the crowd, at a time when we weren't blessed with prolific strikers he was only one scoring regularly.

Gray’s 2004-5 season is the opposite of McGoldrick’s 2019-20 season.

Gray did nothing but score goals
McGoldrick does everything but score goals

Who is more valuable to his team?

Not exactly the most original observation but Ched Evans - 29 league goals + few more in the cup and I'm sure he wasnt available until October time due to injury.

Granted league one, but has to be one of the most impressive single seasons from any Sheffield United player in the timeframe Carlton Blade ?

Very much so. Proof below - Personally, the best season in my view is Billy from last year because it was a higher level and later in his career.

Player with the best goals per league appearance - Jan Aage Fjortoft again - 19 in 33.

I think you'll find that Matt Phillips bettered this in 2011 with 5 league goals in 6 league appearances.

We wouldn’t in my view have been promoted with Gray in the 05/06 team rather than Shipperley.

The most surprising bit in those tables was that Marcelo and Beattie had near identical totals, and that the League Cup top scorers include none from the seasons we reached the semis.

that may be true. Shipperley did weigh in with 11 goals and had good partnerships with Webber and Kabba. Gray scored 15 goals but didn’t really gel with anyone (Warnock, never good at building a forward line at the best of times, had a terrible season on that front)
