Greatest Pilgrim Strikers
Ranked No.1
Tommy Tynan

Your number one striker is the goalscoring genius of Tommy Tynan, a player who lit up the 1980s at Home Park.

Tommy failed to make the grade as a junior at Liverpool and developed his professional game with a spell in America, then Sheffield Wednesday, Lincoln and Newport, signing for his first stint at Home Park in 1983.

It was the perfect fit for both parties, as Tommy fired in the goals that helped Argyle reach the FA Cup semi-finals in 1984. He was a lethal finisher, sharp as a razor in the box and blessed with the innate ability to sniff out opportunities.

He moved to Rotherham in 1985 but was back at Home Park a year later, and the goalscoring instincts were even better second time around. Tommy won the Argyle Player of the Season on three occasions and scored an amazing 145 goals in 310 appearances for our club.

This brilliant Pilgrim finished his devastating career with spells at Torquay and Doncaster, but will always be best remembered for his wonderful goalscoring ability at Home Park.
