Football has changed, though, hasn't it.
Years ago, your strikers were the people you relied on to get the goals, but goals are scored far more regularly now from midfield and defence.
Take us, for instance. We scored 70 goals last season, with Cox scoring 16 and some of those from penalties. So 77% of our goals were not scored by our top scoring striker, yet we managed a healthy total anyway.
