A good season would see him jump to 5th in that list.
Amazing stat that. Who has been our most prolific striker ? Goals per min , game ?

Interesting reading that. I wonder how Defoe's stats alter if we compare to the games he actually started. The players above him in that chart were guaranteed starters, less Keane and to a lesser extent VDV
Thanks for that table, interesting stuff.
Here is every Spurs player who has scored 5 or more Premier League goals arranged by their strike rates (games played per goal)...

wonderful stuff you have there. thanks very much, sir!
the stats confirms who i think the best strikers are for us and mostly in that that order.
klinsman it was a treat watching him as a boy. but it is a surprise to see ade having a better strike rate than sherhingham, berbs and keane.
and les ferdinand only as good as mido and pav? the mind does play tricks.
Its funny because everyone focuses on how Defoe is brick against the big teams but have you considered that maybe just maybe he just doesnt get the service against the big teams i.e. we perform at a lower level AS A TEAM?
Its very easy to say oh X played poorly or X didnt score goals but if he doesnt get the chances then how does he score unless he takes pot shots and 20 yrd hammers (which is what he does I guess because he gets frustrated at not getting chances on occassions)
Ultimately stats really do not tell the whole story as to why Defoe doesnt 'perform' as well as he does against the lesser teams.
