Record FA Cup goalscorer

[Yorkshire Blue]

The legend that is BBBC notched his 6th FA Cup goal for the club tonight (and in just 5+2 FA Cup appearances). Where does this put him in the all-time FA Cup scorers list for SUFC?

I expect Billy Best is top courtesy of the Kings Lynn and Brentwood Cup games with Gary Moore probably in second, but Corr must be well up there as I can't think of anyone who has scored more in the FA Cup in my time.

Anyone got the full list?

Just had a quick look at SUFCDB; alas you can't sort players by FA Cup goals so I may have missed one or two....

Roy Hollis - 15
Billy Best - 15
Albert Wakefield - 11
Gary Moore - 7
Tes Bramble - 7

McCrory .... about 8 ?

McCrory .... about 8 ?

..... also 8 for Billy Hick (I'm cheating now, looked that one up !)

 

[MK Shrimper]

As an aside, what's the furthest we've ever got in the FA Cup?

Exactly 8! So a revised list:

Roy Hollis - 15
Billy Best - 15
Albert Wakefield - 11
Sammy McCrory - 8
Billy Hick - 8
Gary Moore - 7
Tes Bramble - 7

Fifth round, in 92/93. Also some time in the 1970s, but I'll leave that to one of our more 'experienced' members to confirm!

Sorry Billy Hick should be 7 (one was disallowed ....... or, more like, I can't count !)

Wow, Tes got 7 FA Cup goals?

I remember Chesterfield away (surprisingly considering the amount of alcohol consumed) and against Luton, but he was obviously even more of a big game player than I gave him credit for.

75-76 season. lost to Derby County 1-0 at the old Baseball Grd. Derby went out to Man U in the semi final. Derby in the mid 70's were a top team.

Exactly what I thought when I read that he had 7!

Think he got 1 away at Hartlepool in a replay that we won 2-1

Have to admit I thought we did it under Tilly too, but we only did 4th round (twice 2006-7/2007/8)

At the end of the day ... T.I.G !!

1975/1976 F.A. Cup 5th Round Sat 14 Feb Derby County 1 - 0 Southend Utd.

We have in fact reached the 5th Round of the FA Cup four times in our history, with the most recent of those, as mentioned above, occurring 20 years ago now. The previous occasion when we got that far prior to the Derby County match in 1976 was back in the 1951/52 season, when we played all five of our matches at home, eventually losing 2-1 to Second Division Sheffield United.

Our first appearance in the FA Cup 5th Round was way back in the 1925/26 season, when once again all five of our matches were played at home. This time we went down 1-0 in the 5th Round to Second Division Nottingham Forest.

Interestingly, we have never had a replay in any of the cup campaigns which have taken us all the way to the 5th Round.

Yep, I was there, Valentine's Day as I recall.

Ah, someone else haunted by that miss against Scarborough that cost us a tie against Chelsea:nope::sad::'(.

Glad to hear he it at least puts it away half the time in your dreams though.

Indeed - he just gets the glory though. In most of his goals Neil Campbell has done the spade work beating 14 players on a mazy run before putting it on a plate for Drewe 2 yards out. I hate those fox in the box types
