I seen this posted on the BBC yesterday.

I make it 39 Hibs goals

Wikipedia says he scored 29 goals for Dundee and 24 for Livingston.

He's also scored 3 goals for the Scotland under 21's, and 1 for the Scotland B.

I make that 96 goals.

Now, there was also a goal v Motherwell when the game was abandoned - so that takes it to 97.

Any ideas where the extra 3 are? Scotland under 19s perhaps? Other abandoned games?


Ignore that - I've just rechecked, and wikipedia is wrong as is soccer base.

Apparently he scored 27 goals at Livvy, 33 at Dundee and now 39 with us which makes 99. Presumably the 100th is the goal in the abandoned game, which is fair enough.

Also, as a comparison, I've tried to work out what the career goals totals are for other recent Hibs strikers:

I reckon it's something like:

Kenny Miller 208
Derek Riordan 117
Garry O' Connor 111
Steven Fletcher 106
Leigh Griffiths 104
Anthony Stokes 96

FWIW

It was Alex Harris that scored in the Killie abandoned game, or were you meaning a different abandoned game?

Wouldn't the 100th goal be the free kick against the jamrags at ER? I'll ask few of my jambo mates... :devil:

22 years old - 100 career goals

24 goals in 52 appearances for Livingston

29 goals in 54 appearances for Dundee

39 goals in 76 appearances for The Cabbage

23 of those appearances are as a sub, so it's in 92 goals in 159 starts in club football.

(I presume the other 8 goals must have come from Scotland U21s)

Aye yer right - it wisnae Griffiths that scored that day either. Now I think about it, he got booked that night and it still counted towards a suspension but the goal didn't. I must have got that mixed up, because I thought he scored.

So, I don't know where the missing goal comes from. Maybe it is the goal v Hearts that never was.
