As Lyle sits on 99 goals I know that he's close to 300 appearances. He's 4th in the all-time goalscorers list, 15 goals behind Andy Thomson at 114 and he is nearing 20th in the all-time appearances list. Tommy Bryce Mark 2 is currently there on 297 and I know Lyle is close to this total or slightly ahead. Could someone confirm this? I was trying to work out from the programme totals.....
Yeaterdays programme has the Tan Man at 231 starts plus 68 coming on off the bench so add yesterday's start and it was his 300th appearance - hope this helps your stats !
I was fifty - fifty not that long ago about whether Derek Lyle would score 100 goals for Queens . Now, its certain and the only doubt is who he will score against and when. Queens fans like to debate what era/ players were better ( in their eyes ) but I am sure that young , old and middle age Queens fans will celebrate this tremendous feat as enthusiasticly as each other . The man is an official legend and its only a matter of time before he is up with Andy Thomson and Jim Patterson.
What is your favourite, most memorable Lyle goal?
Great to have stalwarts of the calibre of Lyle and Dobbie in the squad this year along with some exciting talents coming through. Hope I'm there when Derek hits the ton.
Thanks for those replies. It would be great to see Ly get to his required target this season and stay on to get ahead of Andy Thomson's 114 total.
Looks like 100 goals in 300 games, a 1 in 3 return.Quote:

Even better then. I wonder how many games Thomson played for Queens and what his ratio was?Quote:
