Well almost! It’s more of a guideline!!!...
I was interested in the form of Carlos Tevez and how quickly would hit his 50, and how it may compare to the achievements of our other players. In recent times, Goater, Quinn, White, have all hit the 50, and a little further back Kidd & Tueart.
There are a number of anomalies in this list. I have tried to gather as much information as possible from “Manchester City: A Complete Record”. I got my copy back in the 90’s, and haven’t got anything more up to date! In the book at the front there are notable names, which give total appearances and goals on a year by year basis. However , during each year they detail which player played in which game, but have left any FA or League Cup games out of the totals. Therefore, players may have actually reached their “50” a little bit sooner.
An example of this is Derek Kevan who hit 48 League goals in 67 league games during his tenure. He actually finished with 55 in 77 games, but it’s the goals in Cup’s which are missing. In addition whilst I don’t have info on Shaun Goater, I know he hit 51 in 102. If anyone can appraise me of the game he hit the 50th, I would be grateful. At present Carlos is on 49 goals in 70 appearances (including subs).
Peter Doherty …………. 75
Sandy Turnbull………… 80
Dave Halliday…………….81
Tommy Browell…………90
Irvine Thornley………….94
George Wynn……………95

Eric Brook …………………159
Bill Jones …………………..191
Neil Young ………………..194
David White ……………227
Mike Summerbee ….234
Roy Clarke ………………246
Ernie Toseland ……….264
In addition to this list the following players, participated in games during the war
Jim Currier 50 goals in 30 games
John Boothway 50 in 55.
I think I’ve included everyone with more than 50 goals scored in the list. If I haven’t I apologise, and please let me know. In addition if there is something more up to date than the book I was using, again, please let me know.
Cheers!...Manx
