[Jim Chimmerney]

2nd best, for the moment

 

[Mark Hammond]

He will bag the 11 required. Hopefully with the Blades.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

This is excellent for a certain fat boy from the manor.

Our porcine neighbours will be really put out by that WHEN it eventually happens.

Would be class if he could do it in the derby at H'boro - realistically, not enough games for him to do it in the derby at BDTBL

UTB

 

[SUFC Guy]

Would be fantastic if this were to happen and so would a montage of every single goal scored as well.

 

[Champagneblade]

3 on the second of March would be as good a time as any to seal it!

[imp998]

Hopefully He'll score all 11 at the Derby

 

[HighfieldBlade]

He'll have pride of place in The Oval Office...

actually could even be pitsmoor .. i know he went to ecclesfield .. my lad knows him

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Can’t be manor.
He’s never been to prison.

Are you sure?
I heard that the screws at Wormwood locked him up and started singing "Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na-Na We've got Billy Sharp, Billy Sharp, We've got Billy Sharp "

But to get on the all time top scorers list (I just found doing a search) he's going to need 240.
So for fun, name somebody already on that list but I'm excluding Keith Edwards from this as it's a 'given'.
(Anybody with 240 goals or more to their name in English football).

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I thought a century was 100 years but this is only 18 years. It’s still impressive though!

I reckon he will do it this season.

 

[Blend-it-like-Harris]

Floats like a butterfly; stings like a bee.......... he is the greatest

I was brought up on't manor as well and didnt go to prison ! Left at age 13 mind !

My dad worked with Sharps uncle.
Apparently Sharp is from Pitsmoor, that’s what his relative told my dad on many occasions.

Guesses of the top of my head:

Dixie Dean
Steve Bull
Ian Rush
Jimmy Greaves

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

68 goals out of 208 (plus 8 in an earlier spell) constitutes a "majority," does it?

Top "journalism."

All correct answers, I was amazed at Jimmy Greaves stats, absolutely staggering.

It is a majority.

Alan Shearer.

Why did he tell him so many times? Didn’t he believe him or summat?

 

[8lade]

Alan Shearer.

Yep!

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

It is a majority.

No, it isn’t.

He’s scored more goals for United than he has for any other club. But the article says that the majority of his goals have come in a United shirt. They haven’t. He’s scored 76 of his 208 goals for us. That means 132 of his goals have been scored for other clubs. So, the majority of his goals have not come in a United shirt.

He would only have scored the majority of his goals for us if he’d bagged more than 104 (half).

I’d have expected a journalist to know this.

You know what they meant.

 

[Shalalalafenoughty]

You know what they meant.

Of course I do. But I expect a “journalist” to be able to use words accurately.

I accept your apology.
