Clive Allen scored 49 goals in the 1986-87 season and I marvelled at his scoring art. As a kid it was Trevor Francis for me, with a bit of Tony Woodcock and Garry Birtles.
Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush have to get a shout and then there are the videos of Jimmy Greaves and Geoff Hurst’s hat-trick. We’ve got to mention Roy of the Rovers too. Roy Race, now there was a goalscorer — so good, he had his own comic.
Yeah, I can see why Netflix want a series on strikers.
It’s the Hollywood role, the glory position, the money shot. When it works.
When I was a centre forward and made my transfers to Blackburn, Chelsea and Celtic (some worked out better than others), I loved the attention and the expectation. Clubs buy strikers to win trophies.
