Here at Cubo, the Wold Cup has re-ignited a few arguements. We have been wrestling as a club to settle the age old questions of;
- Who really is our all time * goal scorer?
- Which Clarke brother has bagged more?
- Was Jez Lye actually a more attacking right back than Jonsey?
- Should it be Ralph, Matt or Marcus going up for corners?
- Has Salty ever scored… and for that matter has Crispy!?
Well we decided to settle this once and for all.
* We have compiled our recorded scorers for all 3 of our teams since 2012/13. We would have gone further, but the records don’t exist on the FA / W&D sites.
Here’s the full list. First things first, there are 89 scorers…

So what have we learn’t? Here is a few musings for you….
- Oli Perkins reaping the rewards of his no pass policy by edging Tulip out for top spot. While Harry has scored more 1XI goals, it’s Oli 6 for the 2XI that have tilted the title his way
- Ansell the only old boy featuring in the Top 5
- Alan Clarke and Pogo leading the way as the top defenders with 13 a piece
- 5 looks to be a popular number for the defensive mids with Pyke, Mull and old boy Bradders all on 5
- Jake Flower leading our overseas golden boot comp with 9 for Ozzy target man
- Most surpising entry is joint 57th top scorer with 1…. a one P.G.Stewart. Appears when he wasn’t between the sticks he was bagging for the 3XI (well at least once)
- 1 BBC presenter makes the list. When not hosting breakfast television, John Watson was lashing goals (well 1) in for Cubo
And finally, to answer those age old questions;
- Who really is our all time goal scorer?
- Perkins, just…
- Which Clarke brother has bagged more?
- Ian, ensuring finese triumps over brute physicality
- Was Jez Lye actually a more attacking right back than Jonsey?
- Typical, nothing to split them
- Should it be Ralph, Matt or Marcus going up for corners?
- Marcus edges it. Ralph was probably to busy being injured to head up for the corners…
- Has Salty ever scored… and for that matter has Crispy!?
- Of course they have. Although Crispy’s goals may be down to him doing the teamsheets afterwards!!
