Lets Play Pointless - Blades Top Goalscorers

[Balham]

Cresswell?

Anything before 1992 is really before my time so the chance of me getting a pointless score is minimal...therefore, I'll throw these ones in there as well:

Blackman (2012/13)
McNulty (2014/15)

Sorry, not having ever seen "Pointless", I am a bit lost on this.

Are you arbitrarily assigning points to United top scorers on the basis of how obscure you think they are with the most obscure getting the least points?

Yes, yes I am.

(Obviously in the real show, they would survey 100 actual Blades to get the pointless score. I haven't gone to those lengths)

 

[Darren]

Yes, yes I am.

So we essentially have to guess who you think the most obscure ones are?

That reminds me, I must put my Viz - 'Mr Logic' t-shirt in the wash when I get home.

Just struggling to see the point (ba boom) of the game. I can see the fun in "let's name United's top scorers". It seems a bit strange to add "and try and guess which a random bloke things is most obscure".

Don't bother then.

Personally, I think it's more interesting to try and pin down one obscure answer rather than just everybody listing Deane, Edwards, Evans etc.

It's not compulsory though.

Taylor was never top scorer

It *think* it's called a bit of fun. Might be lost on some mind.

I enjoyed it anyway.

Nothing else to add.

Taylor was never top scorer

According to Wikipedia, he was joint top scorer in 1996-1997 with 12 goals.
I have nothing else to go on, so they're the answers I used.
Who do you think was top scorer in that season?

Katchuro and Walker got 12 each. Taylor got 11. Wiki is wrong.

I dont get the game either, ive never seen it..

Ok, fair enough.

I'll publish my list in full tomorrow and you can check it for any other errors.

We can also all then argue about whether xx is really more obscure than yy or not.

All part of the fun. Hurrah!

 

[Worksop II]

All part of the fun. Hurrah!

I think you are gonna find out, being correct is part of the Fun .......

If its all comps (which i think Wiki is) Walker top scored with 15. Katchouro got 14 and Taylor 12.

It's all comps, I'll say Chris Guthrie then

I think Colin Morris finished top scorer in 82-83, one ahead of King Keith.

Wiki states 12 each, so I think it's just league goals and wrong about Taylor/Walker.
Brown is down as 16 goals and Guthrie isn't on the list, which I suspect confirms it's based on league goals only.

8 points (Kenilworth has already given his first answer of Devlin)

 

[Sothall_Blade]

I think there are 3 answers that I haven't seen anybody give yet (even if including multiple answers).

I'm not sure if this is because nobody has thought of them yet or because they're considered too obvious?

Jeff Bourne. Do I win?
