In my lifetime I would say that we have had three great strikers, Jeff Astle, Cyrille Regis and Ronnie Allen. I appreciate that it is extremely difficult to compare players from different eras but I believe that Ronnie Allen was the greatest. Not only was he a prolific goal scorer but he could play as a lone striker, a wide player, a creative, deep lying centre forward and for a player of not great stature, was good in the air. I would also say that Derek Kevan ran them close. As we say though, all a matter of opinion.
