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.
Raheem Sterling?

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)

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.

2 Owen 91

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.

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.

Paul Scholes is a notable absence. He could score.

Giggs and Beckham too

None of Scholes, Giggs or Beckham were huge scorers though - not compared to Andy Cole who scored 55 in 70 games for Newcastle. Beckham scored 24 by age 23, Scholes less than 10 and Giggs scored 5 in the old Div 1 but still would have missed out on top 10 by a goal if those were included.
Top EPL scorers with pens removed - in brackets is their actual total - Cole scored just one penalty and Ferdinand zero.
Shearer 204 (260)
Cole 186 (187)
Rooney 185 (208)
Aguero 157 (184)
Kane 153 (181)
Henry 153 (175)
Ferdinand 149 (149)
Fowler 147 (163)
Defoe 147 (162)
Owen 136 (150)
Lampard 134 (177)
van Persie 129 (144)
Sheringham 126 (147) -
Wow, very quiet here.
Another night of glory for Real Madrid. 14 now, quite the record. Liverpool dominated the game but a MOTM perf from Courtois denied them the ball in the back of the net.
2 opportunities for Real and they took both (one disallowed).
Looks like major stadium mgmt issues, Liverpool fans seemingly the victims of poor Parisian management. Call me skeptical on that one.
Anyway, 3 cup finals, zero goals scored but 2 victories. Seems Klopp still hasn’t quite got the cup final game plan sorted.
On the flip side, Ancelotti wins his 4th. Best ever decision to leave Everton for RM?

There have been dozens of big sporting occasions at Stade De France before and I've never heard of any problems.
On balance, I'm pleased for Madrid. Their coach seems a very decent man. Another big final where Modric ran the show in midfield in the second half. Great player. Goalkeeper was superb too.
17 UEFA finals in a row from the Spanish Clubs where they've beaten foreign opposition. They really know how to peak on the big evenings.
I've not enjoyed the cockiness from Liverpool FC fans this season. Yes, they won the League Cup and the FA Cup. But they blew golden opportunities to win the League and the Champions League that aren't going to come around every year. Kloop was a fool for letting talk of the Quadruple grow like wild fire. Dare I say, Liverpool fans needed to "calm down."
