West Ham are the only Premier League team to not have a league top scorer in excess of twenty goals this century.
Tony Cottee was the last man to score twenty-two league goals in the 1986/87 seasons some 22 years ago.
The table includes several seasons in the Championship.
As a reminder, these are West Ham top scorers in the league for the past 22 years.
2018/2018 Marko Arnautoivic (10) 2017/2018 Marko Arnauotvic (11) 2016/2017 Michail Antonio (9) 2015/2016 Dimi Payet and Andy Carroll both on (9) 2014/2015 Diafra Sakho (10) 2013/2014 Kevin Nolan (7) 2012/2013 Kevin Nolan (13) 2011/2012 Carlton Cole (12) 2010/2011 Demba Ba (7) 2009/2010 Carlton Cole (10) 2008/2009 Carlton Cole (10) 2007/2008 Dean Aston (8) 2006/2007 Bobby Zamora (11) 2005/2006 Marlon Harewood (14) 2004/2005 Teddy Sherringham (20) 2003/2004 Marlon Harewood (13) 2002/2003 Paolo DiCanio (9) 2001/2002 Freddy Kanoute (11) 2000/2001 Freddy Kanoute (11) 1999/2000 Paolo DiCanio (16) 1998/1999 Ian Wright (9) 1997/1998 John Hartson (15) 1996/1997 Paul Kitson (8) 1995/1996 Julian Dicks (8) 1994/1995 Tony Cottee (13) 1993/1994 Trevor Morley (13) 1992/1993 Trevor Morley (20) 1991/1992 Mike Small (13) 1990/1991 Trevor Morley (12) 1989/1990 Jimmy Quinn (13) 1988/1989 Leroy Rosenior (7) 1987/1988 Tony Cottee (13) 1986/1987 Tony Cottee (22)
Teddy Sheringham 20 goals 04/05???
But not 21 goals
Nor were Vardy, Wilson or Costa – they were all 20 too…. help?
Diego Costa is listed at 20.
Either way…still a bit of a drought.
It says last player to score 20 goals! Not last player to score more than 20 goals!
And yet the table is of the last player to score 20 goals. Not 21 or more so the list is wrong.
It makes sad reading tbh , I would have loved Gomez would have given us 15-20 goals and some assists. Would still be nice to see him with us . Shows how much we need an out and our goal scorer . We need to sign Gomez or someone with similar qualities . COYI ⚒
Interesting. But it does say “1992/1993 Trevor Morley (20)”. Still a long time ago – makes me wonder if the list is incorrect elsewhere…
21 goals or more is target for this table
Sorry but I’m I reading this wrong , trevor Morley 92/93 20 goals , or does that not count ☹ as all west ham fans know we have been star striker devoid for many many years , deano would have filled that gap but …….. Neville u c…. , talk is talk let’s get 1 up top to complement what we have , Citi
In excess of 20 goals so needs to be 21 or more 😉
But you listed Vardy Costa and Chambers all with 20 goals ????
Was about to say same as others but it shows you need quality up top, Sheringham and Morley. We need to attract a young one of those, hopefully Silva will turn into our new Cottee 😀 Gomez I am not sure will ever be a 20 goal s season player, I mentioned Bradley Dack who has more than a bit of the Ashton about him, might not be the paciest but can score every type of goal and can create.
“Tony Cottee was the last man to score twenty-two league goals in the 1986/87 seasons some 22 years ago.”
Make that 32 years ago!!
All very pointless to list those goals … some teams have records of single player goal scorers due to The teams playing style … other teams have a mixture of goal scorers from other areas of the park apart from just strikers … if all we had to do was stop strikers from scoring the game would be easy . It’s always going to be more difficult to stop a wide range of players from scoring . In that list there is a definite lack of goals scored by Teams as a whole instead of just strikers . If a team has say , three players scoring 10 each that is surely better than waiting for one player to score 20 .! and relying on him to do so All season long . No Manager would or could play his side with that being his one and only option . Obviously a good striker is needed and necessary for any team but it doesn’t stop there for a dynamic team .
Very happy to see that we may keep hold of Hernandez,, that’s a possible double figure goal tally on its own ,, but in the wider picture other players should also be scoring .
Hard to follow ?? , it shouldn’t be !!
A striker scoring 20 goals does not make a good season. Although interesting, they are meaningless as sucess facts unless combined with total team goals, goal difderence and league positions.
Why are Costa and Vardy there if it’s more than 20? … ffs
32 Years ago, not 22
