Premier League records: The only 6 players who have scored more than 100 goals without a penalty

The Premier League has seen some top players over the last 30 years, and some of them have scored over 100 goals without a single penalty. In this article, we’ll take a look at the only six players to have 100 Premier League goals without a penalty strike. 

The only 6 players with over 100 goals in the Premier League w/o penalties 

Les Ferdinand 

Ferdinand is the highest scoring player in the division’s history without a single penalty goal – at 149. He featured for Queen’s Park Rangers before forming a partnership with Alan Shearer at Newcastle United, and also played for Tottenham, Leicester, Bolton and West Ham United before retiring. 

Andy Cole 

Andy Cole burst onto the scene in 93/94, and played for Newcastle before making a then-record fee to Manchester United. He scored 121 goals for the Red Devils and had spells at Blackburn, Fulham, Manchester City, Portsmouth and Sunderland. 

Emile Heskey 

Heskey was often criticised for his returns in front of goal. But, he scored 111 goals during his career, in over 500 appearances. He started off with Leicester City and helped them reach three League Cup finals in four years, before moving to Liverpool and winning the UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup treble. 

Ryan Giggs 

There are a number of insane Premier League records that Ryan Giggs holds. And this is also one of them. The 13-time Premier League champion scored over 100 goals for Manchester United, without a single coming from penalties. 

Peter Crouch 

At 36, Peter Crouch was the oldest player to achieve the 100-goal mark. He played for Liverpool, Stoke, Tottenham, Portsmouth, Aston Villa and Southampton during his illustrious career in the top flight of English football. 

Sadio Mane 

Mane is the only active player on the list – albeit not in England anymore. The Senegalese icon played for Liverpool and Southampton in England and is only the third African footballer to have scored 100 goals in the Premier League after Didier Drogba and Mohamed Salah.
