#3 Les Ferdinand (149 goals)
Another Tottenham Hotspur player on the list, Les Ferdinand started his Premier League career with Queens Park Rangers in the very first season of the Premier League in 1992.
The former English striker was a part of the QPR team in the First Division in the 3 previous seasons prior to the formation of the Premier League.
The striker scored 20 goals in his very first season in the Premier League, finishing runner up to Teddy Sheringham for the golden boot race, before adding another 16 and 24 goals in the next 2 seasons. Les Ferdinand left QPR to join Newcastle United in 1995 and enjoyed his most successful days at the Tyneside.
The very season with Newcastle saw Ferdinand scoring 25 goals and ended the season with the third place in the race for the Premier League golden boot while winning the PFA Player of the season award for the 1995/96 season.
The 2 seasons with the club saw Ferdinand scoring 41 Premier League goals before once again being on the move, this time to the club he supported as a boy, Tottenham Hotspur.
His time in North London was marred by injuries and lack of form that resulted in the striker scoring just 33 goals in 118 appearances for the club. A move to West Ham soon followed in 2003 but the move failed to achieve its purpose as Ferdinand failed to steer the club away from relegation finishing with just 2 goals in 14 matches.
The following season with Leicester saw the striker scoring 12 goals but once again the move proved futile as Leicester failed to stay in the league. A move to Bolton followed the next year and the now veteran striker scored his last Premier League goal with the Trotters.
Les Ferdinand ended his Premier League career with a total of 149 in 351 appearances, making him the 10th in the list of all-time goal scorers. The former English striker twice came close to winning the Premier League in the 95/96 season as well as the 96/97 season with both the times the Englishman finishing runners up to Manchester United.
