    If Langstaff sees his contract through and continues his goalscoring form, he'll be up there as a Notts County legend that people will talk about for generations to come.

    Cheers, missed that as I didn't drill down, I just assumed he would have been top goal scorer in every season he played for Notts.

    Edit: and too many different colours to chose from

    Tommy JohnSON, who most of us will remember, didn't make the Top 15 list as he only scored 47 goals.

    Tom JohnSTON played for us during the Tommy Lawton era. He was signed from Forest in 1948 and played till 1956. Originally an inside forward, he developed into a goal-scoring outside-left, scoring 88 league goals.

    Yes I understand that. The point (not argument) I was making is that top flight goal scoring is more difficult than lower league goal scoring and in our lifetime not too many have achieved good goal scoring in the top two tiers. We've never been up there long enough for players to get into your table.

    So Macca has a long way to go to be ranked better than our recent Tommy Johnson (whose goals at Wembley are legendary).

    If Tom Johnston played in the Aug 1956 draw against Liverpool I would have seen him but I remember little of that game.
