Most England goals scored - which club?

[Yorkshire Blue]

Nearly.

Such a fascinating list. The top two miles clear but when you go further down the list to where it goes in order Forest, Barcelona, Corinthians, Real Madrid, Huddersfield, Swifts, Birmingham, Hamburg, Sampdoria, Old Carthusians, QPR.

What an eclectic list.

Presumably those goals from Barca were scored by GL when he was there from late '86 to the summer of '89.

Michael Owen scored a few when he was at RM. McManaman maybe one or two too (he scored three goals for England).

Owen and Beckham scored most of them, I imagine.

Yes, of course! I had a memory loss for Golden Balls' time there.

I see that our very own 'Spud' scored Palace's two goals.

So who do we think is the biggest club to never have had an England goalscorer?

Luton? Prem club don't you know!

Luton? Prem club don't you know!

They're in the list, Massimo. I think their goals may have come from Brian Stein/Mick Harford or maybe even Paul Walsh.

Edit: no goals for MH.
One goal for BS.
One also for PW.

Error above: Stein had one cap but no goals.

3 goals according to Rob’s list

(But not Mick Hartford who was my first thought as he never scored for England)

Norwich?

How about The Mighty Canaries? Norwich City?

Brentford.

Struggling to think who could have scored the other - maybe John Gregory, perchance?

Whoops - JG never played for Luton; must have been the plastic pitch QPR connection. Only others I can think of are Steve Foster or Ricky Hill.

Edit: neither of them. It was Joe Payne, quite a while ago now.

He scored two goals for England and made his League debut against us in 1929.

 

[Stan33]

Just a bit before my time but the Spurs centre-forward Bobby Smith scored 13 goals for England too and it looks like most of them, if not all, were when he was with them.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Smith_(footballer,_born_1933)

Impressive goal ratio too, i.e. 13 from 15 games.

Great to watch was our Bobby !

Was he quite a bustling CF type, Stan?

He certainly was !

Colin Murphy compared Stan to a young Michael Harford

 

[Target man]

I thought it was the most boring 4.0 game I have ever watched.

At least you wasn't there to see it! Great atmosphere but dull performance.

Interesting ... I thought SVC had far more to his game though, especially mobility.
