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

Ben Blatch-Hanlon gets us going with the most high-profile model. I envision I’ll be one of around 100 individuals writing in with this, yet in La Liga’s 2011-12 season, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a fantastic 46 fixations from 38 appearances – just for Lionel Messi to pack a genuinely crazy 50, in only 37 games. In all weights, Messi outscored Ronaldo 73-60. We truly were regarded to have seen them at their prime together.
Ronaldo is obviously the victor of this specific honor (and we’re certain he will be brilliant), yet coming up next are a few extra unpretentious events of miracles missing stunning boots, beginning with some Romanian history from Russell Connor. Marcel Coras of Victoria Bucharest scored 36 fixations in the 34-game five-star in 1988-89, beating Mullin on targets per-game, pennants Russell. He was pipped to best circumstance by Dorin Mateut’s 43 fixations for Dinamo Bucharest, enough to win him the European Phenomenal 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 surrendered the crucial shoe notwithstanding this was disavowed following a Fifa evaluation.
Around then, Romanian football worked overall at the drive of the Ceausescus and it is ensured that whenever the chance of an Unquestionable Shoe, and the end it would present to Romania, turned out to be clear, check screens were told not to make a fair undertaking to stop Camataru, Russell adds. In his last nine matches, the striker figured out a fair methodology for scoring 26 targets. Toni Polster was significant length permitted the shoe for that season, with his despondent 39 for Austria Vienna.

Philip Rebbeck adds: In the 1953-54 Second Division, Fulham’s named Bedford Jezzard scored 39 targets – three not the extraordinarily dazzling 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 threesome of George Camsell (Middlesbrough), Dave Halliday (Sunderland) and Harry Johnson (Sheffield Merged) in the Central Division scoring outlines. Unfortunately for Pell, and the rest, here Dixie Senior part hit 60 for Everton, beating the impetus structure by 25 targets.

At last, a word for Inclined toward individual Étienne’s Salif Keïta. The Malian objective machine scored 42 focuses in 1970-71 French five star – yet was pipped to the European astonishing shoe and the alliance top scorer prize by Marseille’s Josip Skoblar (44). The next year, Keïta could oversee 29 – and Skoblar got 30.
Four metropolitan affiliations, the same first letter
All the semi-finalists in the men’s Bosse’s Association this season came from a city beginning with the letter M – Madrid, Manchester, and two from Milan, sees Ivor Leonard. Has there been a goliath cup challenge where all the semi-finalists have come from four metropolitan affiliations beginning with a relative letter?

Here’s Dirk Maas with a full and mindful breakdown. Again all through the entire presence of European Cup semi-finals, the extraordinarily other time this has happened was in 2015-16 – with two get-togethers from one city. Madrid was kept an eye out for by Genuine and Atlético, and joined by Manchester (City) and (Bayern) Munich
To find a last gathering of four from four express metropolitan affiliations, we truly need to get back to the 1958-60 Between Metropolitan Districts Fairs Cup, the second appearance of the Uefa Cup harbinger that standard two years to wrap up. Barcelona beat Birmingham in the last, while the stunning semi-finalists were a Belgrade XI and Association Radiant individual Gilloise.

The Belgian side, genuinely reestablished to the five-star considering speculation from the Brighton proprietor, Tony Young adult, were spread out in Brussels notwithstanding moved outside astoundingly far in 1920. We trust it’s fair, regardless, given their plan of experiences and current locale, to call USG a Brussels pack. Back to Dirk for a few astonishing close misses …

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

The monster breaks (2)
Last week, we checked out a few huge journeys from the move. Here is another model, from Brazil, care of André Leme Lopes:

Fluminense hit a total base in the Brasileirão Série An out of 2009 after the 21st round and was stuck there for a genuinely wide time frame. After 27 games, specialists allowed them close to 100% legitimacy of the 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 abundance one (against Coritiba, away). Six triumphs and three attracts our last nine games; 11 games unbeaten at the business end of the time.

One can hardly see the value in the redirection of Mecca Air in the city of Rio while flourishing was gotten.

Information report
Has a club whenever recommended a goalkeeper, just to then move him to an outfield position (on a full-time premise), or the contrary strategy for getting around, asked Robert O’Shea in 2008.

One name that hung out in our inbox was that of humble, leaving Mexican fitting Jorge Campos. Campos was embraced in 1989 by Pumas UMAM as a goalkeeper, formed by Paul Haynes, yet since Adolfo Rios was playing magnificently in an objective, Campos was utilized as a striker, scoring 14 fixations in his most key full season. Campos, who dependably wore the No 9 shirt for his club, kept on winning 130 covers for Mexico, at this point there as a goalkeeper.

From Mexico to the less hair-raising climes of Luton and Exeter. I don’t have even the remotest sign what position he was playing when Luton wandered him, yet Tony Read was their standard escort in the 1967-68 movement season, informed Keith Hayward. In any case, in his control of 203 appearances, he scored 12 fixations while playing as what we would now call a striker, including (I see) a full go-around.

Tom Lippiett offered Matt Taylor of Exeter, yet Gathering Shower ought to have expected the interest for changing the player from a No 1 over absolutely to a No 5. Matt was instrumental in getting City back into the Football Association, and won their player of the time grant, made Tom. Regardless, essentially two years going before joining Exeter, Matt was playing as a goalkeeper for Burscough, which included him goalkeeping in (and winning) the FA Prize aft in 2003. Matt moved to Get-together Shower in 2006, where he changed over absolutely to a (full-time) focus back. Past Burscough lace Lee McEvilly saw his shock when he made it against the now-outfield Taylor in the Exeter v Cambridge matches in 2007, which joined the season finisher last.
As of now sorting out the mistake of watching Nottingham Woods Ladies lose the FAWNL season finisher 0-1 to Watford. The season finisher was between victors of the FAWNL Travel North (Forests region) and South (Watford) to close which get-together will take the one development spot to the Title. A completely inspected plan that is at last being pardoned for the 2023-24 season, with victors of North and South both going up next season and two being committed from the Title, glares Sam Williams-Duncan. Regardless, of clubs disposed of from progress pondering field necessities, are several events of clubs winning their association/division on any occasion being permitted progress, either through a comparatively silly season finisher structure, etc.?
Again I was glancing through the old history of my party, Gillingham, and found in the 1919-20 season they scored 34 targets and yielded 74, and sometime later in the going with the season they scored 34 objectives and surrendered 74, sees Chris Matterface. Are there some spots near a couple of occasions of parties completing two moderate seasons with totally ill-defined fixations for/against sums?

Dinamo Zagreb brought back their 24th affiliation title this season, structuring Cameron McGlone. Since a possible
