I was reading the article on soccernet.com about RVN tying Law's Euro goals mark and they included RVN's goals total. HOLY CRAP!!!! I guess I am not that much of a stats guy, just a win or lose is all that matters guy but grabbing 95 goals in 122 games and of that 28 goals in 30 Euro games is unbelievable!!!! Does anyone have any comparisons for the likes of Raul, schevchenko, etc.?
Yeah.... I saw that too... its pretty amazing, dont expect Raul's to be close, he is more that a scorer... and he played there before his prime, unlike Ruud...
no one comes close... i read somewhere last season he scored more goals than both raul and ronaldo combined lol... also breaks records in both premiership and CL..
Ok so I did a little research on premierleague.com and came up with these Goals per premier league game numbers from their goals and appearances stats. Shearer .654 gpg (234goals/358 games) Owen .556 (110/198) Cantona .449 (70/156) Henry .613 (92/150) Cole .500 (157/314) RVN .728 (59/81) I also found that at least one player has been more dominant in Europe than RVN. Apparently Di Stefano had 36 goals in 35 matches in the European Cup. Not bad company to be in....Shearer and Di Stefano!
