Tommy Lawton scored 570 goals. He played for Everton becoming the youngest goalscorer and he kept the record for 70 years. Until, Wayne Rooney broke it in 2002. On the international front he has scored 22 goals for England in 23 games. He was the king of headers… nodding in his goals.
A classic was his goal against Charlton way back. His team won a corner, Lawton drifted into the penalty area. The ball came towards him, he jumped higher than any defender, made it to seem as he was hovering and shouted at the opponent goalie – “Top Corner!” Obviously not buying that, the goalie was all over the place and Lawton headed it exactly there – the top corner.
