The pair played vastly contrasting minutes across the campaign, as well as their difference in results in front of the net, though, with the Canaries attacker playing 3,828 minutes across his 43 league outings, compared to Bamford’s 22 appearances totalling 1,361 minutes.

Kemar Roofe (4.86), Tyler Roberts (4.62) and Jack Clarke’s (4.6) efforts during the recently concluded campaign were also enough for the trio to join our Grantham-born striker in the top ten.
