According To A Shocking Statistic, A Former Striker For Leeds United Is The Worst In Premier League History
On Wednesday night, Leeds United picked up an improbable point at Old Trafford, giving them a boost in their bid for Premier League survival.
Nonetheless, the Whites have acquired a terrible reputation as the home of the Premier League’s worst striker ever according to statistics records.
Okay, Andy Gray can say goodbye to his undesired record. The 45-year-old, who came up through the Elland Road development system in 1995, is the poorest striker in Premier League history, averaging only 0.03 goals per game over four seasons.
While playing for Leeds, Gray made 22 Premier League games without scoring, and while playing for Nottingham Forest, he made 8 Premier League appearances without scoring.
Harrogate-born Scotsman scored once in 51 Premier League games, and it was for Sunderland way back in 2005/06. Despite their best efforts, the Black Cats could only muster 15 points that year and were thus relegated.
Another former Sunderland striker, Jozy Altidore, is second behind Gray in the Premier League’s lowest goals-to-games records, with only two goals in 69 appearances (a rate of 0.05 goals per 90 minutes).
Gray’s son, Archie, could be able to help Leeds achieve Premier League success despite his father’s failures in Yorkshire.
The Director of Football at Elland Road, Victor Orta, has compared the 16-year-old phenomenon to Sergio Aguero, and other notables, such as Dan James, have said that he has the potential to become one of the finest players in Europe.
And thus, although Gray senior has had little luck for Leeds in the Premier League, his kid has a great deal of promise and might become a star for the Whites if he develops it.
