Theo Walcott??

23 goals in 37th place - very young but never that prolific

Ian Rush?
Adebayor?

This is Premier League only. So if you're born before 1970 you're too old. Adebayor no but Anelka is tucked away in 28th spot with 25 goals.

Of the 3 current players, all 3 had underwhelming seasons for one reason or another.

canefan

Some of the class of '92 must have come close. Giggs? Beckham? Scoles?

Raheem Sterling?

Chris Sutton for either the 1996 or 1997.

Edit: I thought it was the year they achieved that feat so 1973.

Close but 13th on 40 goals.

Yes Sutton is in - was only 21 when he went to Blackburn and scored 25 for Norwich the season before. (note the years are the years of birth)

Rashford?

canefan

Ramsay?

MajorPom

Lukaku?

KiwiPie

3 left to get - the one born in 1978 is the hardest. Of the younger ones, one moved back to the EPL at the start of this season and the other moved clubs in January.

I thought Milner might be in there but none of those ages work out.

The 1996 one must have been the Jan club mover.

Alli?

Absolutely no clue on the '78 born one.

Kanoute?

Some clues for the last fella - first scored in the EPL at age 18, played for Liverpool and a few other clubs, over 50 England caps

Bovidae

I think I know who the 1978 player is: ##spoiler
Emile Heskey
##endspoiler

Ah, I thought this was for just the top division rather than the specifically designated Permier League. That would count out the likes of Tony Cottee then.

antipodean

Paul Scholes is a notable absence. He could score.
