You should refine the title to a list of players from other positions who successfully became strikers. Then you might have a thread on your hands.

I was starting it with a certain centre back in mind.

Thierry Henry is the most obvious one I can think of. Winger to Striker.

Thanks for posting. I vaguely thought I would be right to name him but not confident enough to post!

Actually i reckon Dunk is a closet striker he just hasn't asked to play up front yet , won't be long now .

He's done it a few times toward the end of games, not sure up to what age groups he was playing up front as a youth player, but I'm pretty sure he was a forward for a while but slowly converted to centre back.

Old Brightonian
Ian Marshall
Correct. He moved back in the configuration over the years as he got slower as he got older.
He'll be in goal in a few seasons.
On a serious note, the club never expected to sigh two strikers for 15-25 million who would score 25 goals a piece. Who TF do we think we are? The plan was to expect more than half our goals to come from other players. So our nippy ones will be expected to step up.
We have had 5 proper talismanic strikers since I started watching the Albion
Alex Dawson
Fred Binny
Peter Ward
Bobby Zamora
Glenn Murray
The legends were made in the lower leagues.
Kane
Lukaku
Sanchez
Aguero
Costa
The only players to score over 20 league goals in the PL last season. And we seriously expeted to buy a 20 goal a season man to save us?
No - it will be a team effort, so lots of our players will have to learn to score more easily and more often. That means that midfielders will become goalscorers. 'Lampardified' (although I just noticed that word contains th letters l.a.r.d
)
