Chopra for me, never far from creating a chance, never stopped
Jay would be a close 2nd, but at times his attitude just let him down, when the game wasnt going our /his way, his head dropped and he looked like he couldnt be bothered

I can’t believe Peter Thorne isn’t getting more love.
Quality, clever player who made up in football intelligence, what he lacked in pace.
He was class.

Isn’t Earnie the only player to score hat tricks in all 4 divisions,FA Cup, League Cup and International levels?
Robbie Fowler followed by Jummy Floyd Hasselbaink.... but sadly not for us.
I loved Thorney too.
Earnshaw took most of the plaudits but Thorne was just as important to us at the time.
He was the Toshack to Earnie's Keegan.
Earnie had the chance to play at the top level and did well, shame we didn't get to see Thorney play at that level.
Then again I suppose you find the level you are comfortable with.
Re the OP, I would go for Chopra over Jay as the latter, although unplayable on his day, wasn't consistent and would go missing on occasions.
Another lower level striker I also loved, Stantona.
No nonsense, get it in the net!
I'd be struggling to make a top 10 that didn't include Thorne
In no particluar order
Bothroyd
Chopda
McCormack
Zohore
Helguson
Earnshaw
Are obvious contenders
Too early to include Moore
Then we've got Hasselbaink?
Fowler would certainly be there if he'd played more games but hard to argue a place for him with only 13 appearances
Campbell
Mason?
Parry?
I'd have Thorne ahead of any of that last bunch.
