Players who have scored in all 4 English divisions

So this came up on one of the other threads, due to Hause netting for Villa earlier, meaning he's scored in all 4 top English divisions, is there any other candidates to achieve this feat.

I did consider Jamie Vardy but he moved from non-league to the Championship, so he's out, and so is Charlie Austin, he's only netted in League 1, Championship and Premier League.

Graham Alexander qualifies he's got goals in Division 4, Division 3, Division 1, Division 2,Championship, Premier League, and finally League 1, that'll take some beating.

Marc Pugh another ex-claret runs him close mind you he's got goals in Conference National, League 2, League 1, Championship and lastly the Premier League.

Is there any others?

Yep :) he's scored in all 4 professional leagues, and the Conference North, and Conference National, and USL Pro Soccer League, i didn't know he'd played in the states, that's a new fact to me.

Bulshit! Bullshit! As we sang to him at Wembley where he went and scored both goals against us. Came over at the end and applauded the Burnley fans though with a huge smile on his face.

Always thought it was Andy Mutch and Robbie Dennison who scored the goals. Maybe I'm mistaken....

Steve Finnan? I seem to recall him being the answer to a quiz question re playing in all four divisions, both domestic cup finals and the Champions League final, but did he score in all 4 divisions?

I nearly wrote Stevie Bullsh*t but as CTID states is wasn't Bull who scored at Wembley but he was their hero and they had that annoying Stevie Bull chant which we kept adding sh*t on to the end of each time

More likely that I am doing the 'senior moment' stuff and forgetting everything that happened before I went to sleep last night

I would think Leighton James did. Scored in three for us and scored in third division for Newport.

Ron Futcher ..... Luton & Manchester City in the top flight, Oldham & Bradford in the 2nd tier, Port Vale in the third and Burnley in the 4th ...

I hadn't realised he played 8 years in the States in total, not the highest standard back then but his 144 goals in 227 games over there is a tremendous return ....

Twice for West Brom in 1985/86 but he didn’t score a goal

Wayne Biggins did it within about 15 months. For Burnley in divisions 3 and then 4, and for Norwich in divisions 2 and then 1.

Graham Alexander surely did it? Or did he miss division 4? And Derrick Parker and Joe Jakub (possibly) scored for us in divisions 1 and 4 - did they fill in the gaps?

Jason Roberts was the first name that sprang to mind for me. Don’t know if it’s correct though.

Michael Duff?

Did he score for us in The Prem? Sure he got one in The Champ and I'd imagine got some for Cheltenham in League 1 & 2.

I suspect they'd be many more when you go back a few decades, players were more likely to be signed from lower league Clubs, rather than abroad, and then tending to keep playing whilst slipping down the Leagues towards the end of their career ...

Frank Worthington was one I thought of, who knocked about in the lower leagues for a good few years.
