Wednesday 9th August 2017:

Which two Leeds United players were Top Flight highest goalscorers?

 

Jimmy Floyd and I think big John Charles was top scorer the season before he moved to Juve.

 

?? Gordon Hodgson, George Brown, Ian Rush,

 

Ian Rush only scored a few goals for Leeds United

 

Yes. Wasn't sure of the question. It didn't actually say whilst playing for Leeds

 

"Which two Leeds United players", I would say that it means they were playing for Leeds at the time! Don't blame me for your **** answers...Ian Rush

 

I would say the question is ambiguous. You only beat me because you are an expert at interpreting the questions (like the one the other day that had me going round in circles)

 

Yes, John Charles (38 goals, 1956-57) and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (18 goals, 1998-99).
