Andy Cole

Andy Cole is the walking definition of the term ‘natural goalscorer’. Only a handful of players could match his consistency and composure in front of goal.

Cole holds the record for the most goals scored in a Premier League season – 34. He shares this record with the next entry on our list – no prizes for guessing who it is!

He wasn’t the most technically adept of players, but he had an uncanny knack for scoring goals. Unlike Ferdinand, Cole went from strength to strength after leaving Newcastle – at Manchester United, he formed a formidable partnership with Dwight Yorke.
