I hope he does it also hope that he unleashes the Robot again!

I thought for a minute this thread would be about a rumour of us signing him on loan...

If only would love to see him at the amex in blue 'n' white

How many headed goals did Dean Cox get for the Albion...

England record

42 games, 22 goals.

I literally couldn't care LESS if you want to throw that NONSENSE argument at me of "oh but that's against rubbish teams blah blah blah". That's a great record.

Completely agree!

I despise the 'rubbish teams' argument being used a way to take away from his record. If the teams that he scored against were so terrible why did so few other players get in on the act?

This is going to sound ridiculous given the stats, but I honestly think he is actually a poor header of a football! He's all arms, often gives away silly fouls because he never seems to be able to jump cleanly. At 6' 7" he should have scored a lot more with his head.

Alan Shearer 6' 0"
Les Ferdinand 6' 2"
Duncan Ferguson 6' 4"
Dion Dublin 6' 2"
Teddy Sheringham 6' 1"

Very true.

Because they were rubbish too! You're aware England are rubbish right!?

I had an inkling that we might be...

Either way, that view just serves to further validate Crouch's scoring record!

Right, I've gone to the trouble of looking this up now…

Crouch nods in #46 a minute after coming on.
