No Chelsea striker has ever scored more goals than Bobby Tambling.

The 75-year-old netted 202 goals in an 11-year stint in West London, and was usurped as the club’s record goal-scorer by midfielder Frank Lampard in 2013, 47 years after setting the record.

Tambling came up through the youth system at Chelsea and has gone on to become a club legend, and was part of the Chelsea side that won the League Cup in 1964/65.

His tally of 37 goals in a season (1962/63) has only been bettered once in the whole of Chelsea’s history (Jimmy Greaves – 43, 1960/61), and his sensational goal-scoring prowess gets him comfortably into this top three.

    how can anyone who knows about chelsea agree to that.
    114 goals in the youth team. 132 goals in 169 matches for the first team. 22 in his first season, 37 in his second season, 30 in his third. 43 in his last season.

    his 100th goal at the age 20. yes he did not have the team around him, yes the club needed money and had a huge offer. but still the same jimmy greaves should be top.

    hero then and now.
