Club Scoring Record

[yorick]

First of all, I shall say hi to you all, and will cadge a free beer at the bar later ;)

Anyway, lots has been said today in the media about (super) Ronaldo beating (Mega) Best's season tally of 32 goals.

Have they all forgotten that Nistelrooy scored 44 in 2002/03 ?

Anyway, I'm lucky enough to have watched Georgie boy strut his stuff :D

Well firstly, welcome to our forum Yorick. Im sure you will like it here.
and you have seen Georgie play? You're lucky for sure and I look
forward to a few stories.

In answer to your question on goalscorers here is the list:
Top scorers for United in a season:

-46-Denis Law - (63/64)
-44-Ruud van Nist - (02/03)
-34-Tommy Taylor - (56/57)
-33-Cristiano Ronaldo - (07/08) *up to 19th March 2008
-32-Dennis Viollet - (59-60)
-32-George Best - (67/68)
-31-Brian McClair - (87/88)
-30-Jack Rowley - (48/49 & 51/52)
-29-Bobby Charlton - (58/59)
-29-Dwight yorke - (98/99)
-25-Eric Cantona - (93/94)
-23-Cristiano Ronaldo - (06/07)

edit: yes you were right about Van Nistelrooy. The media were on about it because
its a record for a winger or non-striker.

Thanks for explaining about the winger bit

But must still be amazing to surpass George Best, even at tiddly winks :)

Welcome mate. Another of 'that generation' joined us. :)

[The last time I did the same welcome to another of 'that generation', well, he apparently left.:eek: No deja vu, I hope. :D ]

welcome . the bar has half price for pensioners on a wednesday afternoon . red devil will stand you a pint then . local beer mind none of the pricy imported stuff .

[yorick]

LOL thanks for the welcome :D

But less of the pensioner stuff :( I was only 8 when I watched a certain cup match in 68 and was blown away by a bald guy, one with no teeth and a lad with long hair.

Became a fan straight away, which ****ed off me dad, who was an ardent Leeds fan :D :D
