Random one, when did penalties start counting as regular goals in the charts (like top scorerer etc).
Thought they always put them in brackets after. E.g 10 (2) for 10 open play goals and two penalties?
A goal is a goal, no? Doesn’t matter how it’s scored for the top scorer charts afaik.
(Unless of course it’s scored against Liverpool, as then the legitimacy of it is dubious).
They dropped that in about 1998, but I think even in that scenario 10 represented the total number of goals, with 8 open play and 2 pens.
