Some new research has come to light which has revealed which counties in England which have produced footballers that have scored at least 200 goals in the English football league - including Premier League and the Football League.
The data [Bookmakers] has looked into the 103 English footballers who scored 200 goals or more, then researched their birth towns and placed them into a county.
Greater Manchester and the West Midlands are the two standout counties, and the only two counties to register double figures for the number of highest-scoring footballers from a county.
Closing out the top three with nine is Greater London.
However, Merseyside has had its fair share of prominent goalscorers throughout history and it ranks in joint-fifth with South Yorkshire.
There are plenty of famous legends on the list, but we’ve decided to focus in on the top 10 highest English goalscorers in football history.
