Which English club could boast the best five strikers since 1980 (probably a period most posters are familiar with)? Allowing for the club where the player spent the most time to claim him. For starters Arsenal have had; Alan Smith, Ian Wright, Bergkamp, Henry and RVP.
Liverpool: Rush, Dalglish, Fowler, Owen and someone else. Can I have Suarez? Man Utd: Cantona, Rooney, Hughes, Van Nistelrooy and Ronaldo
Torres was at Atletico for much longer than at Liverpool. Suarez has only been at Ajax for a season more than Liverpool. Which is why I picked him as it is closer.
I know the thread is about strikers at English clubs since 1980 but how about this for a list of strikers that have played at Athletico Madrid in just the last few years! Costa (top scorer currently in Spain) Forlan Torres Falcao Villa Aguero
Newcastle haven't done bad: Kevin Keegan (I know he played more for Liverpool) Andy Cole (I know he played more for Man U. but he was better at NUFC) Faustino Asprilla Alan Shearer (I know he probably played more for Blackburn) Mark Viduka
Man U or Liverpool. And that's in world football. But not since 1980, since the 90s. I was dead in the 80s.
For Everton you could include; Sharp, Heath, Gray, Ferguson, Lineker, Lukaku, Rooney and Cottee For a Top 5 Lineker, Rooney, Lukaku, Cottee and Ferguson although there are reasons to leave several of that 5 out
Aldridge, although he scored a few was an inferior version of Rush - that was the Rush pre Juventus To the Liverpool list you could add Fowler to the list of 5, maybe at the expense of Torres? Also Beardsley too
