One of Newcastle's greatest ever players, Millburn managed a goal every two games but it was his hard work defensively that separated him from many other strikers. He tracked back and pressed, linking up play to create opportunities for his strike partners too. Spoken of in messianic terms by Newcastle fans, he was undoubtedly a great player.
For: the archetype of the modern striker
Against: Didn't score as many as some in the same era
