It's not Billy McKay, no.

Lowingham Braidford


No idea if he is but what a great name.

Born in Blyth.
  87 goals in 73 games. Some record!

Also an incredible goals record with dundee after the war.

 
I thought all wartime football was to be declared null and void😏

I'm still waiting on my season ticket refund season 39-40👴

great question

Terry Butcher? He definitely scored one for us

Julie was a good answer from the Founder but aren't his wartime goals considered to be kiddy-on?
Plus he's in the Hall of Fun which exempts him from anything meritorious down Shed way.

So I give you RORY BOULDING. Only scored one but it felt like 10.

The original question had no caveats. I missed out on seeing the player, but expect you can recall him at Tannadice, smeds?

Geeza break Founder, I'm getting on but not that auld.
Neily Mochan was banging them in when I started, standing alone in turning my back on my entire extended  family who disgustingly had Tannadice Street South leanings.
It was the best decision I ever made & I'm not kidding.

1 point to Pat. Smedz is overthinking things.


gaz73 - 3
Pat Reilly - 2
Kiwiarab - 1
BMT - 1
TheShed - 1
SmeDUm - 1 

 

Nah, not having that Tek.
Norwegian.
 

Pretty sure you're at the wind-up but i can assure you despite his name, Albert Juliussen was from the N.E. of England and then spent the rest of his life in Dundee, where he eventually died.

That was a good guess.

 
As the great Roy Walker  would say
Good answer but wrong
Although i might have to threaten you with legal action over the sporting integrity of wartime goals being included

You can bring legal action on to me Beharder.

But i warn you i have a robust legal team (me).
 

 
What's that Gordon Jackson up to these days I've heard he got a bit of time on his hands.

His mother & father were both Norwegian. Don't know what they were doing in Blyth but having him there does not make him English. One of my daughters who is as Scottish as a haggis supper with a can of Irn Bru happened to have my grandson in Newcastle but that does not make him English. My son-in-law is Australian where they now stay and where my grandson has dual nationality but HE IS DEFINITELY NOT ENGLISH.

Yes, I guess I an on the wind-up a wee bit but Tek's question might have read 'Who is United's top-scoring player who was born in England?' ....But then again they were dodgy wartime goals anyway....and he is in the Hall of Fun.

I'd still give the point to the Founder...grudgingly, but I still think Rory Boulding is the correct answer.
 

Boulding scored 1 did he not? Butchers scored more than that. 5 I think


 Lowingham Braidford scored 6 in the Dundee Hibs days.

Just because his patents were Norwegian doesn't make him Norwegian. Doubt he's even set foot in Norway.

But he was born and spent his formative years in England. That's a FACT.
