Hello all,
My first article in quite some time, it's been a horrible year for me and the family but I hope you and your loved ones are all well, safe and healthy.
On the back of Bush's last post (Number 9) it's prompted me to pose the following question to you:
Who would you consider your *Top 20 Derby County strikers from the past 20 seasons? ( *19 or less if you exclude this season whilst we wait for a signing and assess their performance and due to a striker being used more than once in the list!)
Please note: I've gone for who I believe to be the *MAIN STRIKER* that season, you may obviously disagree and want to suggest another player for that year, if so, please feel free. For the later years I've gone with Waghorn/ Marriott and Waghorn/Martin to avoid confusion but previous to that I've gone with who I considered to be 'top dwag'
2000 - Strupar
2001 - Ravenelli
2002 - Ravenelli
2003 - Peschisolido
2004 - Rasiak
2005 - Peschisolido
2006 - Howard
2007 - Villa
2008 - Hulse
2009 Hulse
2010 - Porter
2011 - Robinson
2012 - Tyson
2013 - Sammon
2014 - Martin
2015 - Martin
2016 - Bent
2017 - Vydra
2018 - Marriott / Waghorn
2019 - Waghorn / Martin
2020 - ?
I'll submit mine after careful consideration look forward to seeing others' opinion just as a means of fun and comparison on who they regarded higher and lower. Is Connor Sammon in someone's Top 5, will Chris Martin be outside the Top 5? Would Ravenelli even feature in some fans Top 20 list at all?

Think Desi's list is misleading.
Leading scorers since 2000
2000 Rory Delap
2001 Malcom Christie
2002 Christie/Ravanelli
2003 Christie/ Morris
2004 Ian Taylor
2005 Rasiak
2006 Idiakez
2007 Howard
2008 Miller
2009 Hulse
2010 Hulse
2011 Commons
2012 Steve Davies
2013 Ward
2014 Martin
2015 Martin
2016 Martin
2017 Ince
2018 Vydra
2019 Wilson
2020 Waghorn/Martin
So why leave out Christie who would get my vote for our best strike in the last 20 years and include Porter, Robinson, Tyson and Sammon in the 20 is beyond me.
Note two midfielders Delap and Iniakez made the top 20.

Christie disappeared into obscurity after moving to the Smoggies.

So what, the question is who has been OUR best striker in the last 20 years, not Boro's.

Rory Delap and Ian Taylor to the best of my knowledge were not a striker so wouldn't be considered in the list.

Heb,
I hope you noticed a Scot got the most votes. 3 1/2 for Chris Martin.

Ah yes, a Scot 🏴
