@KiwiPie Alan Shearer when he was at Blackburn Rovers?
He would have been close but he joined Blackburn at 22 and his goals for Southampton before that were pre EPL. My estimate is 39 top level goals by 23. Estimate 244 EPL goals after 23.
jermain defoe would have scored a few young..old man when finally came to Bournemouth but wouldn't be surprised to see him there
@Bovidae said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Rooney would be near the top.
yep Rooney must be near the top I suspect Harry Kane somewhere on the list as well
1 Fowler 93
2 Owen 91
3 Rooney 71
4 60
5 54
6 Kane 49
6 49
8 46
8 46
10 42
10 42
Defoe was the next on the list with 41. It gets harder from here ....
Jamie Vardy must have smacked in a fair whack for Leicester City but were they before or after he turned 23?

Zero. He didn't even get out of non-league until he was 25 and was 27 when he first played in the EPL. Crazy number of goals since then.
@Higgins said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
@KiwiPie Ok, what about Gareth Bale then?
Not all that many. Was already 23 before he started banging in goals for Spurs
@chucknz said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
@KiwiPie Steven Gerrrad and Frank Lampard?
Not Gerrard and Lampard 30th with 24 goals
@Cyclops said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Probably spent a but too long injured but what about Daniel Sturridge?
28th with 25 goals

@dogmeat said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Mane?
No - almost 23 when he moved to the EPL.
16th with 36 goals

Another one who made his name before EPL - joined City at 23.

@dogmeat said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Dwight Yorke
Andy Cole
Cole is a good call - Yorke didn't become prolific until he was well past 23. 3 current players still to get.
@dogmeat said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Did Son come straight from South Korea? Can't remember.
From 18 he was at Hamburg then Leverkusen - joined Spurs at 23.
memory doesn't like been stretched, Gerrard started young..perhaps, just dont think that prolific early..

Ah so that counts out my next suggestion of Glenn Hoddle who must be from about 1960 but he did bang in a fair few goals for Tottenham Hotspur.
On reflection my Spurs did spend a couple of seasons in the old Div 2 in the late 70s so that probably is where I might be wrong..

Clive Allen scored a lot of goals for Spurs, Klinsmann too but he arrived later in age
@Hooroo said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
Theo Walcott??
23 goals in 37th place - very young but never that prolific
@canefan said in EPL 2021 / 2022:
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.
