cheddarwedlocker Posted Sunday at 00:38 Share Posted Sunday at 00:38 Scored a goal at San Siro tonight for AC and its made me wonder. Has anyone ever actually hit these heights before, who used to wear our shirt? Abrahams class, composure and his fight has got him to where he is now, from scrappy tap ins at Burton away, to being our top scorer and arguably the best young striker in the league (on two occasions) Champions League win with Chelsea, England caps and call ups, playing under Mourinho, playing for (imo) the biggest club in Italy. It doesn’t get much better no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted Sunday at 01:44 Share Posted Sunday at 01:44 Only Andy Cole I reckon: 4th highest PL goalscorer in history Played 15 times for England British transfer record PL golden boot 5 PL titles, 2 FA cup, 1 League cup and a Champions League Someone's going to to have to go some way to beat that 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted Sunday at 02:15 Share Posted Sunday at 02:15 As said, Cole was far better than Tammy in terms of talent and success, I don't think we'll ever see another Bristol City player hit his level of success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted Sunday at 03:03 Share Posted Sunday at 03:03 Andy Cole, Tammy Abraham and I’d put an outside bet on Antoine Semenyo getting up there at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted Sunday at 07:33 Share Posted Sunday at 07:33 Both Cole and Abraham played 41 games for BC, the most successful in that time at our club was Tammy with 23 goals, Cole had 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted Sunday at 07:39 Share Posted Sunday at 07:39 The other difference between the two is that Andy Cole was actually our player!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team Posted Sunday at 07:52 Share Posted Sunday at 07:52 As others have said, Andy Cole has clearly been our most successful ex player. Tammy was superb but hasn’t achieved, at least yet, his level of success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm way too young to remember Atyeo and make a fair comparison but - whilst Atyeo is very possibly the best ever Bristol City striker - I'd argue Cole is the best striker to ever play for Bristol City at some point in his career. Atyeo didn't have much of a top flight career whereas Cole spent his career competing for top flight titles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The committee that picked England squads stopped selecting Atyeo because he was part time. Sure I read we turned down big (relative to the time) money offers from some big European clubs before too.

Not often he is mentioning in the PL forward greats. It’s all Henry, Rooney, Aguero, Drogba etc. It’s basically the plastic fan base who don’t understand just how good Cole was. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semenyo getting a lot of praise right now and rightly so, not sure he will ever fill his trophy cabinet like Cole but I’d expect him to be our highest ever sold on player.

Was in the wrong era to make a bigger splash for England, I think had he got more caps he would be remembered more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
