Southampton's all-time most prolific goalscorers ranked including 183-goal machine

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.
