Watford's Most 'Natural' Goalscorer Ever

I saw him more as an AMF

 

Tamas Prickskin gets my vote .

Apparently it’s what goes into all Greggs meat products , apart from the sausage rolls that are made from cancerous ball bags.

 

Random!

Zuniga.

 

1 Vydra
2 Vydra
3 Vydra
4 Johnston
5 Poskett
........
34,275 Success.

 

Mighty Mo by a distance. Vydra on form I thought was excellent but not consistent enough

 

1. Dai Ward

34276 Jim Lawton

I was only about 4 at the time, but Ward was ever-present in a season when we missed relegation by two points - scored 29 goals to finish as Div 3 top scorer. Jim Lawton played a few seasons later - he was absolute tripe. I can't even remember him scoring but he apparently did, once.

 

Mo Johnston by a country mile I recon.

 

Mighty Mo

 

Steve Kabba.

 

I would say it has to be Kevin Phillips. He just made scoring goals look easy. He was prolific in the top league for Sunderland also.

 

Guy Whittingham.

 

Steve Sherwood

 

Best:
Vydra
Penrice
Furlong
Johnston
Poskett

Worst:
White
Butler
Kabba
Moralee
Bamber

Christ we paid money for those worst 5...

 

Mo Jo definitely no.1, but I'm surprised no one's mentioned Ross Jenkins (the 70s-80s model, not the ineffective and much smaller 00s-1os version). Couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo at first but when GT sorted him out he was lethal. He was the top scorer in the Jenkins/Blissett partnership, once scoring 37 goals in one season to Blissett's 'paltry' 29.

 

I would add Trevor Senior to the list of worst players. Great for Reading but utter garbage for us.

 

Mike Block was not that great either.

 

Danny Graham's 27 goals in 10/11 was exceptional, considering the players around him. A quick check shows we scored more goals (77) than champions QPR that season, but conceded an eye-watering 71. And people think we have centre back troubles now!

 

er Mornington Crescent.

 

Mo Jo by miles

 

Mick Quinn?

 

Surely Ellington gets in any worst list?

 

Not according to Kenny Dalgish. Apparently Micky Quinn said he told him he was the best finisher he’d ever seen. Top trolling by Kenny there. Need to get him on here.

 

I think he goes into the list below “worst”

I think it goes

Greatest
Worst
So bad it actually beggars belief , especially when buying them for a club record we couldn’t afford

 

Molla Wague.

I'm sure his only touch for us was a goal.

 

One advantage of the season ticket 40 years ago, you got in free to see the midweek combination games. I tell you honestly, the most clinical finisher was Keith Cassells. The Messi of combination league football. If it hadn't been for the fact that GT turned Jenkins and Blissett into a power force. Good old Keith would have been a third division sensation. But with Mercer, Mayes, Jenkins and Blissett, Keith had little opportunity in the age of one substitute football to get in the match day 12.

 

Herbert Bank's 22 goals in 21 games (or 21 goals in 19 games depending on whose statistics you accept) is pretty impressive.

 

I remember seeing him in uniform on the Vicarage Road terrace when he joined the police after his playing days.

 

I can only comment since 1965 - so as i never saw Cliff Holton i can't comment but absolutely no question that MoJo is first. Vydra not even close to him - probably still second though

 

Natural goalscorer, I’d vote Kevin Phillips.

Natural finisher, Abdi would be up there...remember Peter Kennedy rarely missing either when he had a go.

 

From outside the box, Richard Johnson.

 

I would class Abdi as a scorer of great goals.

His goals against Bolton and the carbon copy against Fulham were fantatstic, his goal against Leeds was my favourite however that game is too painful to revisit.

 

Foot like a traction engine

 

Only one of them? He must've had one heck of a limp.
