We always had this debate when I was playing.
Twin strikers one scored 18 goals no pens
Other one scored 19 goals with 8 penalties and won leading goalscorer .
I always thought that was harsh on the lad who scored more in open play.
But a goal is a goal no matter how you get it I suppose.
Just be interesting to know the stats without pens in England scorers.

Because penalties aren't goals? What?

Ok not miles ahead but Greaves 44 goals in 57 games will probably still see him as England’s greatest ever goal scorer

Yup, believe it or not, there's some skill in taking penalties!

Maybe, if you do wish to analyse the records, goals in competitive matches maybe interesting.

England fans booing Gomez just sums up the moronic England supporters at times
And for me Linekar is the best striker England have had at the moment

Agree on both points.
Lineker scored when it really counted, in tournaments. I'm not belittling the others, all have fabulous records, but his goals in World Cups elevates him above the rest for me.

Who said that?Because penalties aren't goals? What?
I just wondered who was the best goalscorer not the best penalty taker.
The best two penalty takers I remember were Phil Neale and Ray Stewart, both full backs for the youngsters out there ðŸ˜. Maybe that is a memory thing but I don't seem to remember them missing many. You always felt they were going to score them. The worst had to be Teddy Sheringham. Amazing how he kept being allowed to take them but you could tell as he walked up it wasn't going in the net.Who said that?

Before anyone posts, yes I know about Le Tissier.

Looks like Rooney did it more when it counted.

Sorry I just don't get why people belittle penalty takers. A penalty is worth one goal just like all the others. Penalties are not tap-ins, go and look at Messi and Aguero's penalty records which are surprisingly poor for top strikers. Nobody belittles Hazard or Milner who have fantastic penalty records, because they're not strikers? A striker scoring penalties somehow cheapens the value of it? I don't get it at all.Who said that?

No, I just went off on a tangent ðŸ˜.James Milner must be up there .
But feel you might of misread my post.
I must have missed those tournaments. He scored well in qualifying but at World Cups and Euros 🤔? Lineker did it in 2 world cups, I'd take him first every time.

Not belittling them at all.
I took a penalty in a cup final once ,I was bricking it . But scored.
The strikers all bottled out and as capt stepped up.
Just hit it as hard as I could. Eyes closed from what I remember.
I was just asking a question that’s all.
If we're talking about tournaments only then it has to be Lineker surely with his goals against Cameroon from the spot under pressure and then against Germany in the semi
