How far away is Murray Davidson from the appearance record now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I thought I had a list of all-time top division scorers (certainly post-WWII) but can't find it. Liam Craig places well in all-time (all comps) scorers though: 140: John Brogan 116: Ian Rodger 114: Henry Hall 105: Paddy Buckley 85: Andy McCall 82: George O'Boyle 79: Roddy Grant 70: Joe Carr, Harry Ferguson, Gordon Whitelaw 67: Jimmy Munro 61: Liam Craig 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 @Radford You did. There was a thread on top league goalscorers (Premier only) for each club that I'm sure you posted it in. I took a copy and have tried to keep it accurate, but I wouldn't swear by it not being a goal or two out here and there. Not sure it's accurate lower down for recent players who scored 4 goals or so. This is only League goals scored in the top division, since 1975: 47 - Steven MacLean 46 - Liam Craig 39 - Paul Wright 35 - Stevie May 33 - Murray Davidson 28 - Harry Curran 23 - David Wotherspoon, Michael O'Halloran, Chris Kane 19 - Roddy Grant 14 - Graham Cummins, Nathan Lowndes, Fran Sandaza 13 - Dave Mackay, Keigan Parker, Danny Swanson 12 - Steven Anderson, Nigel Hasselbaink, George O'Boyle 11 - Vinny Arkins, Steve Maskrey 10 - John Davies, Allan Moore, John O'Neil, Cillian Sheridan 9 - Brian Graham, Gunni Torfason, Callum Hendry 8 - John Brogan, Paddy Connolly, Peter MacDonald, Jimmy O'Rourke, Blair Alston, Matt Kennedy 7 - Gary Bollan, Darren Dods, Graeme Jones, Collin Samuel, Mark Treanor, Tommy Turner, Rowan Vine 6 - Billy Dodds, Paul Hartley, Paul Kane, Alan Kernaghan, Philip Scott, Joe Shaughnessy, Ali McCann 5 - Kenny Deuchar, Tommy Lovenkrands, Alan Lyons, John Paul McBride, Ian Redford, Miguel Simao, Momo Sylla, Scott Tanser, Jason Kerr, Guy Melamed 4 - Ray Blair, Chris Millar, Sam Parkin, Gordon Scott, Gregory Tade, David McMillan, There is then another 80 plus players that have scored 3 or less goals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd likely be top half dishing out a few thrashings. All of our recent squad (apart from Liam's season or two in championship) have been in the Premiership, in successful, but mostly low scoring teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambieBud Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Congratulations to Liam Craig. That’s a helluva achievement in this era. Respect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 If it wasn’t for that Hibs spell he’d have probably exceeded 500 games by now. Probably an unassailable achievement if that was the case.
