Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Footie Trivia Question of the Week

With a new Premiership season just around the corner, it's time to fire up the LOB trivia machine again:

"Who are the top ten Premiership goalscorers of all time? Which teams did they play for? Which are still actively playing in the Premiership?"

Good luck, lads!

I wont get near 10 but I will say for sure Henry (Arsenal) and Shearer (bb and newcastle and possibly Saints). I think Shearer is on top of the list.

Ian Wright must have had a few, Les Ferdinand, Chris Sutton, Robbie Keane, Sheringham, ANdy Cole, Dwight Yorke and for a tenth I will have Matt Le Tissier.

Good effort, Simon. You'll clearly give UWS a run for his money with the trivia on this blog.

Shearer is the top scorer by almost a hundred goals, with 260 for Soton, Blackburn and Newcastle. Andy (or Andrew) Cole is 2nd with 187 for Newcastle, United, Blackburn, Fulham, Citeh, Pompey, Birmingham, Sunderland and oh probably some others too.

Your boy TH-14 is 3rd on the list with 174 for the Gunners. Les Ferdinand is 5th with 149 for Newcastle, Spurs and West Ham. Ready Ted is 6th with 146 for Spurs, United and West Ham, Yorkie is 9th with 123 for United, Blackburn, Birmingham and Sunderland.

And Ian Wright, Wright, Wright slides in at 10th with 113 for the Gunners.

Chris Sutton, Le Tiss and Robbie Keane don't quite make the list, although as Robbie's 28, is on 105 goals currently and has just received a new lease on life at Liverpool, he should easily make it onto the list in the next year.

Still looking for #s 4,7 and 8 on the list and the one's who are still actively playing. Thanks for playing, Simon.

How about wee Mikey Owen for the Pool and the Toon.
Robbie Fowler for Pool, Leeds and Citeh
They are both still playing

Indeed, "God" netted a decent 163 for Citeh, Leeds and mostly Liverpool. It's hard to see him adding to that since I don't think he's playing in the Premiership now, is he? Surely an MLS move is the best option for him now. Stevie Nichol would certainly welcome him at Foxboro.

And, yes, lest we forget, Wee Mikey has a 136, again mainly for Liverpool. I'd love to see him get on a rip again this season and surpass the likes of Ready Ted and Les Ferdinand in the rankings.

Still one more to go - and he's a former Leeds hero too! Come on, lads, it's soooo easy!

I can't believe you've all forgotten Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. #9 on the list.
