Barely Top Scorers!

Big Caveats:

1. These are the scorers since the inception of the blog. There may be a record of pre-blog scorers somewhere in the loft of Nick/Ioan/Jerry/someone's house. I know both Jim Fry and Richie's goalscoring exploits stretch back further than the below, for instance, as do others: Nick, Ioan, Mani to name just a few.

2. Not all matches played since 2006 are actually on the blog. I'd guess there are at least six missing; possibly more. So if anyone has insight on this I can update. I have a hunch Adam might be due a couple more goals, amongst others?

With that in mind, having trawled through the match reports, this is what the data threw up:

Jim Semmence     28
Lefils                    27
Richie C               15
Adam                   12
Tom Pinnell         12
Andy Lilford       11
Sam                     11
Jim Fry                10
Batts                    10
Manrouf              10
Darren                   8
Paul Tovey            7
Paul Loftus           6
Mike Graney        5
Christov                5
Chris Smith          4
Alex                     4
Ioan                      4
Rich Jackson        3
Dan Hird              3
John Rossetti        3
John Trimble        3
Jim Banton           2
Paul Taverna        2
Scott                     2
Lee Douglas         1
Gareth                  1
Lewis Batten        1
Andy Lucas          1
Roly                      1
Jerry Gyde            1
Rich Sloper           1
Bob Lynn              1
Nick Ambler         1
'Young' Rich         1
'Other' Tom           1
Phil                       1
George                  1
Mystery John        1
Bradley                 1
Danny                   1
Alastair                 1

The surprise for me, totting all this up, was not that Jim and Lefils were streaks ahead of anyone else, but the regularity with which Batts used to crash in goals charging up from left-back!

Notable contributions from defence also from the youngsters Andy Lilford and Tom Pinnell and of course from midfield, the indefatigable Richie C.

No doubt there will be corrections. I've hazarded some early goals from 'Jim' and 'Jimmy' were Jim Semmence and I think those guesses are pretty solid. There was a goal given to 'John' which I think was John Rossetti so I've given that to him.
