From Sergio Agüero to Wilfried Zaha, the Premier League’s rich history reads like an alphabet of goal-getters – each letter marked by a name, a roar, and a net that’s still shaking somewhere in the memory. Over three decades of drama have given us icons and cult heroes alike. So, what happens when you line them up A through to Z – one for every letter, each the all-time leading Premier League scorer whose surname starts there?
You get a gallery that spans generations: the Argentine assassin who lit up the Etihad, the homegrown heroes who made their mark on muddy pitches, and the overseas stars who redefined English football one finish at a time. Here’s the A–Z of Premier League goalscorers – a tribute to the composed finishers, the thunderous volleys, and the late winners that have written their letters into English football folklore.
