Fun fact, Robin Van Persie is not in the Top 10 goal scorers in Premier League history (he has 144 goals in the competition by the way). Now, some of you might not find this information overly surprising but did you know that RVP holds an outrageous record of his own?
He has hit the woodwork more times than any other player in Premier League history. He somehow managed this feat an astonishing 44 times. That’s 11 more than the nearest player, Sergio Aguero. If we pull the calculator out, some quick maths shows that even if 15% of these chances went it, that would put him above the 10th place holder, Les Ferdinand, who has 149. Fine margins…
That’s the standard you need to bring to the table to do well on this quiz. We’ve got appearances, goals, own goals, red cards and more to put your knowledge to the test. Anything over a 7 is a job well done, good luck!
