Aguerd scored his first goal for West Ham
By Simon Leyland
Lets face it, over the last few decades, we have had not a lot to cheer about.
But following Aguerd`s header yesterday we are now top of a very exclusive table.
We have had 165 different goal scorers since the advent of the Premier League back in 1992.
Our anoraked friends at Opta have put together a rinky-dinky little chart which sadly I do not have the necessary computer skills to reproduce here. So you are going to have to make do with this:
West Ham 165
Spuds 162
Newcastle 161
Everton 159
Chelsea 155
I am not sure that we should be particularly proud of this, as it shows the turnstile transfer policy of the club. We probably have one of the highest turnover of players in the league!
What makes it even more unsettling, is the fact that we have spent more time outside the Premier League than the clubs below us.
Now the immortality that goes with your name in print plus perpetual bragging rights goes to the first CandH follower who can name all 165 of them !

Well played Dicksy !
I had forgotten about Dale Gordon, I remember him scoring against Coventry.
