    Does Defoe count or not as he never made a senior appearance for us?

    Has Paul Benson been mentioned?

    Am sure he scored at Wembley some stage when he was with Dagenham before he joined us

    He did score for England but it was when they were redeveloping Wembley.

    He doesn't count for me, because he never played for the first team. For the same reason I didn't coun't Myles Weston's penalty.

    Others may see things differently though.

    Quite surprised that having a little search to find an obscure one, since the Football League Trophy started in 1984, not a single scorer in the final has ever played for us.

    I'll be looking in the "births" section of local newspapers in 19806 to see his first appearance in the press.

    Jeffers is a near miss, scored for England in a home fixture but not at Wembley.

    Astley is another near miss, scored for Wales in an away fixture against England but again not at Wembley.
