Where does Billy Sharp rank?

[PeterNdlovu081]

In United's all time list of league goal scorers?

Anybody got the complete list?

 

[Whiston Blade]

Just above Geoff Horsfield

 

[Tunstall Fred]

He is behind Sir Jimmy Dunne in the most goals scored in a season,that i know off the top of my head

 

[Westran]

Harry Johnson scored 201 goals in 313 games between 1919–1930 according to Wikipedia for our highest ever aggregate.

I thought he'd equaled Woodward's record of 30 goals in a season.

 

[IOM Blade]

In to a sock.

 

[Fanny magnet]

he ranks as high as any in rome

Google does.
Just type the question and you get the answer.
Or add to the existing Sharp thread.

Google has nothing.

In my experience Revolution has been brilliant at this sort of thing from the moment I joined.

Don't let me down.

I think this only covers those who scored in the top division.

Does anyone else think that Revolution bumped off Darren in order to steal his copy of the complete records?

Sharp has 59 league goals. 21 players have scored more than this for United.

He's actually joint 22nd with Walter Bennett (a forward from the Edwardian era) and Gil Reece (who many will remember) also on 59.

Billy Dearden (61) and Mick Jones (63) need to be passed to break into the top 20...

Harry Johnson 201
Alan Woodward 158
Keith Edwards 143/144
Jimmy Dunne 143
Doc Pace 140
Fred Tunstall 129
Billy Gillespie 127
Jimmy Hagan 117
Jock Dodds 113
Joe Kitchen 105
Jack Pickering 102
Alf Ringstead 101
Arthur Brown 100
Brian Deane 93
Harold Brook 89
Derek Hawksworth 88
Fred Priest 68
Bobby Barclay 67
Colin Morris 67
Mick Jones 63
Billy Dearden 61

He's played far fewer games that Bennett, so I reckon that puts him clear in 22nd (not joint)

 

[Revolution]

Sharp is the fifth player to score 30 league goals in a season for us. The others are Johnson, Dunne, Edwards and Dodds. Johnson and Edwards did it twice, Dunne 3 times. Dunne's 41 goals in 1930-1 is the record.

Number 6 on that list could play a bit

I believe Dunne did it in consecutive top flight seasons. Only Alan Shearer has managed that since (I think).

I believe Jimmy Dunne has the best goal per game ratio.All the goals he scored were in the top division

 

[Willglynning]

I think he might just have edged out Higdon.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Who's got the best goal ratio to games played? Bet Fjortoft is up there.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Who's got the best goal ratio to games played? Bet Fjortoft is up there.

Andy Butler.

Played one match, scored one goal.

 

[Kenilworth]

Anyone mentioned 'Up Town Top' yet?

 

[Revolution]

That's correct.

 

[Silent Blade]

Out of the list it has to be Jimmy Dunne

 

[Grecian2000]

It's a crazy world where you end up with 100 goals.

 

[Dkc]

I love Billy but not sure if he should be our penalty taker next season. Did he miss two this season? I know some of those he scored were a bit dodgy too.

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

I believe Billy is now in the top 20 of all time for United.

Fantastic achievement.

It the only one that counts as far as I am concerned. Good effort from Sharp but there is no way his record matches that of Dearden's.

Harry Johnson scored 201 goals in 313 games between 1919–1930 according to Wikipedia for our highest ever aggregate.

I thought he'd equaled Woodward's record of 30 goals in a season.

Harry Johnson played as a part timer.
