Top League Scorers Through 2012

Another stat update for you.  Here is the top goal scorers for Sporting KC throughout their history.  See the links below for previous years.

1996 - 1997 - 1998 - 1999 - 2000 - 2001 - 2002 - 2003 - 2004 - 2005 - 2006 - 2007 - 2008 - 2009 - 2010 - 2011

One new player joined the list in 2012, and two more continued to move up the list and into the top 10.  Course one of those two could be seeing his time in KC come to an end soon.

1. Preki - 71 (-)

2T. Josh Wolff - 43 (-)

2T. Davy Arnaud - 43 (-)

4. Chris Klein - 39 (-)

5T. Mo Johnston - 31 (-)

5T. Kei Kamara - 31 (+3)

7T. Digital Takawira - 28 (-1)

7T. Scott Sealy - 28 (-1)

9. Mark Chung - 20 (-1)

10. Teal Bunbury - 19 (+3)

11T. Eddie Johnson - 17 (-1)

11T. Jimmy Conrad - 17 (-1)

13. Chris Brown - 15 (-1)

14T. Jack Jewsbury - 14 (-1)

14T. CJ Sapong - 14 (N/A) - Sapong scored 9 goals in league play this past season to work his way onto the list.  Sapong and Bunbury rotated time until Bunbury's injury ended his season, alloowing Sapong to continue a move up the list.

16T. Matt McKeon - 13 (-1)

16T. Jose Burciaga Jr. - 13 (-1)

16T. Sasha Victorine - 13 (-1)

16T. Claudio Lopez - 13 (-1)

20T. Igor Simutenkov - 12 (-1)

20T. Miklos Molnar - 12 (-1)

20T. Chris Henderson - 12 (-1)

Zusi is a very good candidate to move into the top 20 in the next season since he's currently only 1 goal behind the 3 players currently tied for 20th place on the list.  After him there's a drop off to Aurelien Collin who sits on 6.  With new designated player, Claudio Bieler on the roster, the hope would be that he'd be close to this list if not on it by the end of the season.

Still active players
Graham Zusi - 11
Aurelien Collin - 6
Jacob Peterson - 4
Matt Besler - 2
Bobby Convey - 1
Paulo Nagamura - 1
Oriol Rosell - 1
Soony Saad - 1
