5 things you (probably) didn’t know about Derby County’s Darren Bent

Premier League predator

With 277 English top-flight appearances under his belt, it should come as no surprise to see Bent hold 23rd place in the Premier League’s all-time leading goalscorers.

The birthday boy has scored 106 goals in the ‘Promised Land’, netting for Ipswich Town, Charlton Athletic, Tottenham, Sunderland, Aston Villa and Fulham in the Premier League.

Bent is ahead of the likes of Didier Drogba (104), Ruud van Nistelrooy (95), Dimitar Berbatov (94) and Dennis Bergkamp (87). Not bad company!
