Having listed the top 50 appearances for Chester in the Football League along with Chester FC since 2010 it seemed reasonable to list the top 50 goalscorers during the same period.

The Football League details cover the period from the 1931/32 season to 1999/200 and then from 2004/05 to 2008/09. Once again the figures do not include the Conference years. During this period there were 4127 league goals and 424 different goalscorers. 89 of the goals were own goals.

League goals scored between 2010/11 and 2024/25 includes the 32 goals from the aborted 2020/21 campaign bringing the total number of goals scored to 1020 of which 17 were own goals. The remaining 1003 were split amongst 166 players and these are the top 50 (actually its top 53).

Top 50 League Appearances

At the start of the year a former player asked where he stood in terms of Football League appearances for the old Chester club. I produced a table of all 767 players who played a Football League game and below is the top 50. It covers league games from 1931 to 2000 and 2004 to 2009 so the Conference years are not included. The first column combines starts and substitute appearances but I have also split them off in column two and three.

I thought it would also be a useful exercise to do the same thing for Chester FC appearances from 2010/11 up to the end of the 2024/25 season. Again this is league games only but note that it includes appearances from the aborted 2020/21 campaign when 17 games were played.

For the record there have been 309 different players to feature in a league game and listed below are the top 50.
