How many can you name?

City Goalscorers Quiz

I got 29/31 and I reckon you'll kick yourself when the answers are revealed (unless you get them all).

I got 26 and when they were revealed I was like how could I of forgotten them about from one on 9 goals which was a surprise.

Good quiz that, quite a few surprises as I mashed random names through the keyboard.

I got 27 out of 31. Can't believe I missed the top two players who scored 9 and the very bottom two players.

I didn't even get the pair on 14 until I had about 30 seconds to go! I missed one of the 15's and one of the 8's though. Took me back to my earliest City memories which was nice

Wow, good quiz. I kind of struggled with those who played for us at the start of the Prem as some I thought were gone well before and some I just plain forgot about.

I'd be interested to know if anybody actually knew who our best Premiership goalscorers were, or if they were like me, randomly choosing the odd name from City past.

I was genuinely surprised to learn who our best Prem scorers were. Makes you realise just how lucky we are right now.

28. Missed a few older ones, got confused by not remembering who was scoring when we were up, so guys like Kinky and Dickov weren't on the list.

They missed Sturridge.

Got 29/31, but Caicedo (7) and Richards (6) don't come up. Never would have guessed that the two I missed scored so many though!

According to wikipedia (as my memory is shit), Caicedo's only grabbed 5 league goals for us. And there were a lot of 5s on that list.

Richards the same apparently. Although rather amusingly, if you do a google search for Micah, one of the top search suggestions is "Micah Richards roasting video".

Studge also only grabbed 5 league goals, so doesn't make the list.

Aalborg, Hamburg and Racing Santander aren't in the prem. They both have 4 prem goals. Makes it harder really to work out.

Well spotted mate, that's what threw me with Caicedo in particular. Still thought he scored more than 4 league goals though.

I found out the hard way, looked him up when he didn't pop up. It's an area where sometimes the official stats can catch you out if one later gets marked as an own goal. I can't remember the game but there was one with Caicedo, I think.

West Brom away I think? Scored a cheeky backheel from about ten yards out and they ruled it as a Carson OG.

I got 22/31 but I admit many I just guessed names of City players I knew.

I only got 18/31 !!!

I kept either picking pre-prem players or ones from our years in the wilderness.

My most glaring omission was Robinho!!!!! I wonder how he could have gone missing?
