Almanac Teams: Surprise Sharpshooters (Part 2)

 

 

This is the second part of surprising goalkickers with a bag. They didn’t make the team or squad, but their bag was still a surprise considering the total of goals kicked and position they played. Next week will feature one hit wonders of players under 50 games. I probably have missed some, in some eyes and some may have not being surprising in other people’s eyes, but these are just my thoughts. Hope you enjoy
