Southamp­ton have played host to a pletho­ra of pro­lif­ic strik­ers over the years and some have cement­ed their names in club folk­lore.

The Saints have often plied their trade in the Eng­lish top-flight and as such, have been able to attract and keep ahold of some big-name stars.

Indeed, Matt Le Tissier is the prime exam­ple hav­ing remained at St Mary’s through­out the major­i­ty of his sparkling career, despite a num­ber of clubs – includ­ing Chelsea, Tot­ten­ham Hot­spur and Man­ches­ter Unit­ed – attempt­ing to prize him away.

The Guernsey-born is with­out a doubt one of the most tal­ent­ed play­ers to have ever donned the Southamp­ton strip, but where will he rank in the club’s all-time goalscor­ing charts?

Here, Southamp­ton F.C. News has ranked the club’s all-time top scor­ers across their his­to­ry. All sta­tis­tics have been sourced from Trans­fer­markt.
