RampantRam Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Its tricky to narrow it down to 5 - in no particular order Steve Bloomer Kevin Hector Paulo Wanchope Fabrizio Ravanelli Dean Sturridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Saunders and Goddard both better than Wanchope and Ravanelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RampantRam Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 Saunders and Goddard both better than Wanchope and Ravanelli Statistically maybe, but I based that on sheer entertainment value not on statistics etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Statistically maybe, but I based that on sheer entertainment value not on statistics etc. if you based it on entertainment value, where you entertained by Bloomer? If its stat based, then surely just google top scorer for derby? Don't understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loweman2 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 For me the top striker since I have been watching the rams has to be bobby Davison, he dragged derby through the worst times and his goals got us from division three to division one at a desperate time, the most skilful and natural goal scorer who did it at the top level for us was dean Saunders and I think over all for constant year on year reliability and part of our cherished championship teams it was king Kevin hector, all three of these players were reliable, avoided long term injury, made a many many appearances and enjoyed playing for derby county, not many strikers in the last twenty years can say that, out of the more recent teams I think Sturbridge and raziak stand out for natural goal scoring ability and to finish the list off I would go for Paul Goddard, I can't comment on Steve bloomer as I never saw him play and it was at a time when football was in its infancy and perhaps teams were not as strong or did not have as much ability as they did in future years.

uttoxram75 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Ignore Daveo, its nearly christmas and he may have to smile - always makes him bad tempered. Steve Bloomer (ok, ok even mo55y didn't get to see him play, but 291 goals for Derby and 28 (in 23 games) for England........)

AndyinLiverpool Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Saunders and Goddard both better than Wanchope and Ravanelli They were the best combination we've had since the 70s. Goddard leaving was the beginning of the end of that short period where we thought we might win stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 agreed. Saunders was far less effecfive when Goddard went and played the best football of his career at Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekkie_ram Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 The top strikers that could have been: Davor Suker - Weren't we close to signing him? Roberto Baggio - Weren't we even closer to signing him? Branko Strupar - Injury prevented greatness. Esteban Fuertes - He ain't Italian!! Emanuele Villa - Goal machine in Mexico. Tonton Zola-Moukoko - Championship Manager Wonderkid. ...... Nathan Tyson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
