Ron-away winner as the finest hitman
Irish Daily Mirror
|November 04, 2025
ERLING HAALAND'S numbers are impressive, just as Alan Shearer's numbers were impressive, but statistics show there was plenty of striking greatness before the English top flight had a name change.
Jimmy Greaves (top with 357 goals), Steve Bloomer, Dixie Dean and Gordon Hodgson all scored more goals than Shearer did in the top flight - and all had a better goals-per-game ratio.
And when it comes to greatness, there will not be a more significant individual scoring feat than Dean's 60 league goals in 39 appearances in the 1927-28 season.
Plus, Dixie went on to run a fine pub in Chester. But I never saw Dean play and I never saw Greavesie play live. And I did not see Pele play live.
I did, though, see Ronaldo (above) play-I saw him score eight goals at the 2002 World Cup. And he was electric, he was thrilling, he was quintessentially Brazilian but combined flair with all the physical attributes of a traditional striker.
