All Time Leading Goalscorer Timelines (Recap)

This post contains links to all four parts of the team goalscorer timelines. Who has held the record for each team, at every point in their history? These lists include every goal and not just the lead changes because technically, every goal scored by the record holder is a new record.

Part 1: CHI, COL, KC
Part 2: MIA, NY, SJ
Part 3: CHV, HOU, RSL, TB, TOR
Part 4: CLB, DAL, DC, LA, NE

Remember, these lists include all competitions and not just the regular season goals.

Statistics

  • 62 players have held a team goalscoring record at one point or another (out of over 1,000 total). 32 of those have been American (about 60% of total players are American).
  • Of the 12 current American teams, 10 have their record held by an American. The only two that don't are DC (Jaime Moreno) and New York (Giovanni Savarese).
  • Of the 9 original teams still in the league, only two have seen their record change hands this decade: Columbus (Brian McBride, 2000) and New England (Taylor Twellman, 2004).
  • 6 teams have had 6 different record holders (CHI-CHV-LA-NE-SJ-TB), while Houston and New York have only had one.
  • 4 players have held the records for two different teams: Paul Bravo (SJ, COL), Frank Klopas (KC, CHI), Jason Kreis (DAL, RSL), and Ante Razov (CHI, CHV).
  • The top 5 overall goalscorers who have yet to hold a team record are Carlos Ruiz, Landon Donovan, Josh Wolff, Mark Chung, and Clint Mathis (2 away from Savarese).
