Paul Mullin scored 38 obsessions for Wrexham in the Public Association this season, yet was beaten to the top-scorer award by Notts Locale’s Macaulay Langstaff, who hit 42, notes Niall McVeigh. Are there any higher-scoring non-top-scorers?

Ben Blatch-Hanlon gets us moving with the most high-profile model. “I imagine I’ll be one of around 100 people writing in with this, yet in La Liga’s 2011-12 season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a genuinely puzzling 46 obsessions from 38 appearances – only for Lionel Messi to sack a truly insane 50, in just 37 games. In all struggles, Messi outscored Ronaldo 73-60. We genuinely were respected to have seen them at their prime together.
Ronaldo is unequivocally the victor of this particular honor (and we’re sure he will be joyful), yet coming up next are two or three extra simple occasions of experts missing awesome boots, starting with some Romanian history from Russell Connor. Marcel Coras of Victoria Bucharest scored 36 obsessions in the 34-game five-star in 1988-89, beating Mullin on targets per game, banners Russell. He was pipped to the best situation by Dorin Mateut’s 43 obsessions for Dinamo Bucharest, enough to win him the European Exceptional Shoe. Two years sooner, Rodion Camataru was Dinamo Bucharest’s and Europe’s top scorer in 1986-87 with 44 targets. He was all along given up the immense shoe at this point this was denied following a Fifa assessment.
Around then, Romanian football worked generally talking at the drive of the Ceausescus and it is guaranteed that whenever the opportunity of a Brain blowing Shoe, and the quality it would oblige Romania, turned out to be clear, check screens were told not to make a respectable endeavor to stop Camataru, Russell adds. In his last nine matches, the striker sorted out a sensible procedure for scoring 26 targets. Toni Polster was finally allowed the shoe for that season, with his insignificant 39 for Austria Vienna.

Philip Rebbeck adds: In the 1953-54 Second Division, Fulham’s strikingly named Bedford Jezzard scored 39 targets – three not the phenomenal John Charles scored for Leeds. Then, there’s the record of George Pell, who scored 35 for Burnley in 1927-28, pipping Leicester’s Arthur Chandler (34) and the 33-objective trio of George Camsell (Middlesbrough), Dave Halliday (Sunderland) and Harry Johnson (Sheffield Combined) in the Basic Division scoring outlines. Unfortunately for Pell, and the rest, here Dixie Dignitary hit 60 for Everton, beating the synopsis by 25 targets.

Finally, a word for Brilliant individual Étienne’s Salif Keïta. The Malian goal machine scored 42 concentrations in 1970-71 French first in class – yet was pipped to the European astounding shoe and the partnership top scorer prize by Marseille’s Josip Skoblar (44). The following year, Keïta could organize 29 – and Skoblar got 30.
Four metropolitan affiliations, the same first letter
All the semi-finalists in the men’s Legends Connection this season came from a city starting with the letter M – Madrid, Manchester, and two from Milan, sees Ivor Leonard. Has there been an urgent cup challenge where all the semi-finalists have come from four metropolitan affiliations starting with a comparative letter?

Here’s Dirk Maas with a full and careful breakdown. Again all through the whole presence of the European Cup semi-finals, the genuinely other time this has happened was in 2015-16 – with two parties from one city. Madrid were tended to by Asserted and Atlético, and joined by Manchester (City) and (Bayern) Munich.
To find a last gathering of four from four unequivocal metropolitan affiliations, we need to spread out back to the 1958-60 Between Metropolitan District Fairs Cup, the second appearance of the Uefa Cup harbinger that ordinary two years to wrap up. Barcelona beat Birmingham in the last, while the horrible semi-finalists were a Belgrade XI and Connection Leaned toward individual Gilloise.

The Belgian side, truly restored to the five-star by the reasonableness of commitment from the Brighton owner, Tony Youth, was fanned out in Brussels right and eventually moved outside uncommonly far in 1920. We trust it’s fair, in any case, given their arrangement of encounters and current region, to call USG a Brussels pack. Back to Dirk for two or three clear close misses …

The Uefa Cup semi-finals in 1987-88 featured Espanyol (Barcelona), Werder Bremen, and Club Brugge – paying little regard to Bayer Leverkusen, who took out Barcelona, Dirk adds. The 1990-91 European Cup, meanwhile, saw five quarter-finalists from ‘M’ metropolitan affiliations: Marseille beat Milan and Spartak Moscow squashed Admitted Madrid, joining Bayern Munich in the semis with the odd side out, potential legends Red Star Belgrade.

The inconceivable takeoffs (2)
Last week, we looked at a couple of quantifiably chief outings from the move. Here is another model, from Brazil, pleasantness of André Leme Lopes:

Fluminense hit as a rule in the Brasileirão Série An of every 2009 after the 21st round and was stuck there for quite a while. After 27 games, experts permitted them a nearly 100 percent trustworthiness of move. Then, the party drew two games (against Internacional and Goiás), won the going with six (against Atlético-MG, Cruzeiro, Palmeiras, Atlético-PR, Game, and Vitória), and drew its last overflow one (against Coritiba, away). Six triumphs and three draws in our last nine games; 11 games unbeaten at the business end of the time.

One can scarcely see the worth in the fair air in the city of Rio while flourishing was gotten.

Data record
Has a club at whatever point suggested a goalkeeper, just to then move him to an outfield position (on a full-time premise), or the contrary method for getting around, asked Robert O’Shea in 2008.

One name that hung out in our inbox was that of theoretical, leaving Mexican connection Jorge Campos. Campos was stayed aware of in 1989 by Jaguars UMAM as a goalkeeper, representing Paul Haynes, yet since Adolfo Rios was playing great in an objective, Campos was used as a striker, scoring 14 concentrations in his most critical full season. Campos, who overall wore the No 9 shirt for his club, continued to win 130 covers for Mexico, right now there as a goalkeeper.

From Mexico to the less memorable climes of Luton and Exeter. I don’t have even the remotest sign of what position he was playing when Luton meandered him, yet Tony Read was their normal gatekeeper in the 1967-68 progression season, informed Keith Hayward. In light of everything, in his work of 203 appearances, he scored 12 obsessions while playing as what we would now call a striker, including (I see) a full go-around.

Tom Lippiett offered Matt Taylor of Exeter, but Assembling Shower should have expected the affirmation for changing the player from a No 1 over totally to a No 5. Matt was instrumental in getting City back into the Football Connection, and won their Player of the Time award, making Tom. Regardless, generally, two years before joining Exeter, Matt was playing as a goalkeeper for Burscough, which included him goalkeeping in (and winning) the FA Prize near the end in 2003. Matt moved to Get-together Shower in 2006, where he changed over totally to a (full-time) center back. Past Burscough assistant Lee McEvilly saw his shock when he framed against the now-outfield Taylor in the Exeter v Cambridge matches in 2007, which cemented the season finisher last.

Might you at whatever point whenever help?
In a brief time frame understand the slip-up of watching Nottingham Boondocks region Women lose the FAWNL season finisher 0-1 to Watford. The season finisher was between victors of the FAWNL Travel North (Woods) and South (Watford) to close which get-together will take the one progress spot to the Title. An incredibly fundamental level uncalled-for structure that is finally being absolved for the 2023-24 season, with victors of North and South both going up next season and two being blessed from the Title, scowls Sam Williams-Duncan. As it turns out, clubs are bound from progress due to dealing with requirements, are there a couple of occasions of clubs winning their connection/division yet not being allowed improvement, either through a nearly deceived season finisher structure, and so forth.?
Yet again I was looking through the out-of-date history of my social gathering, Gillingham, and found in the 1919-20 season they scored 34 goals and yielded 74, and in this manner, the going season they scored 34 targets, and gave up 74, sees Chris Matterface. Is there another event of social affairs completing
