    Saw a stat today that there are 20 players who've scored 30+ in all competitions in a season when they were playing for a Premier League club in England.  

    Arsenal have had nearly twice as many seasons where a player achieved it as Manchester United, and Tottenham have had a player do it more often than than Chelsea.

    Anyway: Can you name them?
    Kevin Phillips 
    Henry
    RVN
    RVP
    Ronaldo 
    Kane
    Rooney
    Drogba
    Shearer
    Salah
    Torres
    Suarez
    Cole
    Agureo 
    Berbatov
    Fowler
    Viduka
    JFH
    Wright 
    Anelka 
    Bold yes, others no.

    4 to get.
    Chris Sutton, Vardy, Defoe and Sheringham? 
    All wrong, sorry!
    Ravenelli? 
    Nope.

    The question did say in ‘all competitions’. That would include internationals, surely?

    The Twitter stat account I saw this on stands corrected!

    Im also surprised Le Tiss got that many in a season - always think of him as getting 10-15 a season (and half.of them being absolute worldies.

    Doesn't surprise me really... He was in the Wimbledon academy and came through their ranks just before they became Milton Keynes 
    Do you want to come and piss on my chips as well? 
    What I didnt realise was the fact that Dean is Ray's son!! 
    Doesn't surprise me, I thought everyone knew that!

    :wink:
    I'd say Dean and Ray do, at least.
    And maybe Deans mum.
