Thebigguy68 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Moving discussion from kabamba thread and looking at how brophy’s scoring record compares with other central forwards in recent years. The basis of this considers Only players who scored all their killie goals in the top flight since 1993 eg. No Bobby Williamson. Minimum 10 games and only those that have at least 0.1 goals/games ratio. Data taken from wiki so expect some margin for error but should give a directional comparison. There are players included that are centre forwards and others that played centrally on occasion. Also includes all goals whether from open play or not. Some interesting ones for me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Good wee read that. Didn't realise Tommy Johnson had been quite so prolific in his short spell. No Tom Brown? Edited August 31, 2020 by red_dug 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ was only at Celtic, cos he couldn't get into an Aston Villa team with Dwight Yorke and Savo Milosevic in it! Only scored 9 more goals in his entire career after he got 7 in 10 for us, I'd bet he wished he'd stayed longer at Killie longer too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie1984 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Did McCoist only score 9 goals with us. If you take into account his hat trick then he would have scored 6 in 52 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rankles me that Paul Wright never got the send off he deserved. How was it the song went? "I'd rather have a Wrighty than a Hun"..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonbon19 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I wonder how the older ones compare ? I was looking for John Bourkes and Eddie Morrison’s scoring averages for instance?

historyman Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I assume no Paul Dalglish because he didn’t actually score at all? What about Andy Smith and Mike Jeffrey?

Smith and Jeffrey came in at the 0.1 ratio so strictly could have made the baseline but I’ve tried to erase the memory of them in a killie top. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompey Repatriated Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Interesting Wright only 0.01 behind Boyd. I always thought of him more as a good goal scorer than a really prolific one, though that could be down to Blobby's style of play 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDicken'sLeftPeg Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Confirmed my impression that McCoist was a complete waste of time and money at Killie. Was always annoyed that he carried some extra weight when playing for us but then shed it all in about a month for his part in that Robert Duvall movie. He also just couldn't bring himself to score against the Huns - missed about 6 sitters in a Killie shirt against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
