They always score against us..

[Carnabyswhiskers]

Tom Eaves. I was convinced he 'always scores against us' but then did some digging and found he doesn't. Before today I can only find one goal - against one of our youth teams - in 17/18 season. Over the years there have been (too) many, so inviting others to suggest theirs I'm going to go Mick Butler (Barnsley) and more recently Billy Sharp (too many clubs to mention, including us on loan at one stage). Not checked their stats, but just hearing their names is unsettling. Any others?

Wayne Routledge.
Dwight Gayle.
Lee Tomlin.

Patrick Roberts

Good one. Even terrorized our U18s.

Going back 'a bit'.....George Jones (Bury)

Yep. Him and Moussa Dembele for Fulham in the youth cup back in the day.

[Sutekh]

Didn’t Robbie Earnshaw have a knack of dropping us in it at one point?

And, of course, Nakhi Wells.

[Silver Fox]

The lanky kid who played for Ipswich, can't remember his name but I'm pretty sure he scored every single time we came up against him

Is there any truth in that players who've played for us and left then often score against us?

Just beat me to it. Seven goals in two games.

Think it depends on the player.

Of those I've checked:

1. Leroy Lita - 4 goals / 284 mins - 71.0 mins per goal
2. Jon Dadi Bodvarsson - 3 goals / 219 mins - 73.0 mins per goal
3. Billy Sharp - 5 goals / 368 mins - 73.6 mins per goal
4. Matej Vydra - 1 goal / 87 mins - 87.0 mins per goal
5. Kevin Doyle - 1 goal / 90 mins - 90.0 mins per goal
6. Michail Antonio - 3 goals - 286 mins - 95.3 mins per goal
7. Benik Afobe - 5 goals / 702 mins - 140.4 mins per goal
8. Darius Henderson - 4 goals / 788 mins - 197.0 mins per goal
9. Lucas Piazon - 1 goal / 211 mins - 211.0 mins per goal
10. Chris Martin - 2 goals / 481 mins - 240.5 mins per goal
11. Dave Kitson - 1 goal / 281 mins - 281.0 mins per goal
12. James Henry - 2 goals / 609 mins - 304.5 mins per goal
13. Adam Le Fondre - 1 goal / 343 mins - 343.0 mins per goal
14. Lewis Grabban - 1 goal / 494 mins - 494.0 mins per goal
15. Jake Cooper - 1 goal / 1201 mins - 1201.0 mins per goal

Haven't scored against us since leaving: Shane Long (25 mins); George Evans (145); Gylfi Sigurdsson (147); Adrian Mariappa (180); Alex Pearce (263); Garath McCleary (269); Leandro Bacuna (457); Oliver Norwood (746).

Players like Oliver Norwood, however, do have a very strong results record against us since leaving however.

[WestYorksRoyal]

That Bodvarsson stat is remarkable given he couldn't hit a barn door for us.

[Snowflake Royal]

That Bodvarsson stat is remarkable given he couldn't hit a barn door for us.

Over stating it rather. He was a decent support striker for us.

14 goals in 29(24), 2680 minutes.

Goal per 191 minutes, or just under a goal every 2 games.

[bloody Volvo driver]

Hoekstra of Stoke
Craig Bellamy

Jon Stead?

[Snowflake Royal]

This is definitely where we miss the regular contributions of strap and Cube and their databases.

They'd be able to write a query in a jiffy that spat out everyone who'd scored at least 3 goals against us and ranked them by highest strike rate compared to appearances, maybe even minutes.

And also ex-player's goals against us by minutes. Etc.

More Cube though, because Strap went proper mental.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Thought it was the other way around (strap, cube, cube, strap) iirc

Wasn’t (at least) one of them totally misquoted / misunderstood / misrepresented and just gave up with it all on here after years and years of providing accurate facts and figures?

RiP Ray C’s participation on here

[blythspartan]

I think Curo got 4 in one game against us for Brizzie Rovers. All in the second half.
