Club goalscoring milestone & trivia question!

[Sneckboy]

It's quite well known that fittingly, (captain at the time) Grant Munro scored our 1,000th ever goal.

The next 'milestone' goal would have to be 1,500, but interestingly, our next goal will be our 1,400th.

 

It wasn't reported at the time, to my knowledge, who notched our 500th goal - or maybe I've just forgotten!

However, I've now got the answer!

Anybody wish to have a guess....?

[Kingsmills]

A stab in the dark, Iain Stewart ?

[Sneckboy]

Unlucky, Kingsmills! Good guess.

[SMEE]

Scott McLean?

[Sneckboy]

It wasn't him, either!

[BA]

I'd guess goal 500 was circa 2001 so I'll guess Bobby Mann

[Yngwie]

1,400 goals in 20 seasons, pro-rata suggests that the 500th would have been after 7 seasons. But goals were easier in the lower leagues so lets say 6th season, 1999.  Charlie Christie would be the obvious guess. But its probably someone random like Martin Glancy.

[Sneckboy]

Mann and Glancy are both wrong! But I see your thinking!

An OG ?

[KingBeastie]

Paul Ritchie?

[Guest Mahonio]

David Bingham or Dennis Wyness?

[Sneckboy]

It wasn't an Own Goal, - I knew someone shrewd would go for that!

Paul Ritchie's a great shout, also but not correct.

Good answers from Mahonio, Bingham and Wyness but not them either - but it's more fun, Mahonio when it's just one guess at a time!

[Renegade]

Sure I sure something about this in the programme after the 1,000th was scored.

 

Was it not Mark McCulloch (spelling?)?

[Sneckboy]

Nope! Not him, Renegade! The mystery deepens!

[Renegade]

I've got it!

 

Davide Xausa!

[Sneckboy]

You did! DAVIDE XUASA!!!

[12th Man]

Rosco perhaps

[Sneckboy]

Well done, Renegade!

So we're 101 goals away from the 1,500th - obviously won't be next season, but likely some time in 2016 we'll hit that landmark.

[Sneckboy]

Rosco perhaps

 

Also a good call, but...too late! Renegade got it right! It was our Canadian striker, Davide Xausa!

 

500 - David Xausa

 

1000 - Grant Munro

 

on 1.399 and counting....

[12th Man]

How about duncan sherar.

[RiG]

Andrew Allan?

[Sneckboy]

Why are folk still randomly guessing? It's over! Renegade won! He correctly stated that Davide Xausa scored Inverness's 500th ever goal. That's it!!

Jeez, what have I started...?

[Big G]

Was it Jimmy Calder?

[Yngwie]

Come on Sneckboy, it's about time you gave us a clue.  Was it Paul Sheerin?

[+DoofersDad]

Someone said he thought it was that Canadian who played for us.  Was it Richard Hastings?
