Where does Billy Sharp rank?

[Isaw Joeshaw]

As an all round striker , I would say Deano is not only the best we’ve had since 1975 but since WW 2 .

Billy and Keith are more comparable with Doc Pace and Billy Dearden and these two probably just shade it , which is no disgrace as both were masters of their art .

My dad said Mick Jones was the best striker since WW2, Deane 2nd

It’s a close call but I still go Deano .

He scored some goals that Mick could only have dreamed about .

Only three Blades players have scored at least 20 league goals in the top tier since WW2

Pace (20) in 1961-62
Jones (21) in 1965-66
Dearden (20) in 1972-73

Today's equaliser was the 250th goal of Billy's career.

234 League
9 FA Cup
6 League Cup
1 Football League Trophy

A goal at last, which is something amidst the debris.

It moves Sharp up on the all time list to 11th place. He’s tied with Jack Pickering, who had a 20+ year career at the Lane and scored his final goal at 38 in his penultimate game. It was an important one too: the winner in a 2-1 win over Stoke in a game that Stoke needed to win to be League Champions.

That was also Billy’s 250th senior goal.

Harry Johnson 201
Alan Woodward 158
Keith Edwards 143/144
Jimmy Dunne 143
Derek Pace 140
Fred Tunstall 129
Billy Gillespie 127
Jimmy Hagan 117
Jock Dodds 113
Joe Kitchen 105
Jack Pickering 102
Billy Sharp 102
Alf Ringstead 101
Arthur Brown 100

The goals are something.

The lack of appreciation / understanding of what he contributes aside the goals is something else !

I discovered the other day that the solitary goal he scored in the Football League Trophy was in a 1-3 win for Scunthorpe in December 2005.

The home team was Halifax, managed by a certain Christopher Wilder.

Did they let non league teams in the competition back then?

Yes.

Between 2000-01 and 2005-06 the competition was open to a select number of Football Conference sides.

Sounds better than what they do now with u21s from PL.

Correct me if I am wrong, Woodward was the top scorer three-seasons running. and I think . Deano and Agana scored 30 goals each in one season.I am Sure Silent Blade will have an idea.

Billy Sharp: Steel City legend

Billy Sharp sat down with Sky Sports at his local pub, The Big Tree, to discuss his love for Sheffield and the community.

[Guesty]

I wonder if The Big Tree is his local? I've never seen him around here, but then again I've never actually been inside The Big Tree.

I'd never choose to go inside The Big Tree.

 

[Guesty]

Couldn't agree more mate. I did appreciate them going all out for the Euroa, though!

I remember him saying last few years his favourite pub is crown at totley. He lives in dore so isn't far away too.
Never seen him in there mind.

 

[drblade]

Billy moves above the great Jack Pickering. Although Jack's career was interrupted by WW2. So if you take the goals he scored during the War:

FL: 102
FAC: 9
CC: 8
WW2: 72
Total: 191 (FL and War league: 174)

 

[DronnieBlade]

Daft.

Number 6 on that list could play a bit

Tunstall - Dunne it again.

Thanks, Silent Blade.

I go in there a lot - never seen him in there.

[Guesty]

What's his penalty record here? I think he's had a fair few goals and misses. I think that I read once that Colin Morris had the record for both?
