Archie Thompson: Australia's best ever?

Top scorers in Aussie football.

0.63 goals per game - Shane Smeltz (42 goals / 67 games)
0.51 goals per game - Sergio van Dijk (29 goals / 57 games)
0.48 goals per game - Archie Thompson (49 goals / 102 games)
0.47 goals per game - Eugene Dadi (15 goals / 32 games)
0.47 goals per game - Joel Griffiths (28 goals / 60 games)
0.43 goals per game - Paul Ifill (16 goals / 37 games)
0.42 goals per game - Damian Mori (15 goals / 36 games)
0.40 goals per game - Danny Allsopp (36 goals / 89 games)
0.38 goals per game - Nikita Rukavytsya (16 goals / 42 games)
0.38 goals per game - Bobby Despotovski (11 goals / 29 games)

Shane Smeltz leads the way in terms of goals per games and Sergio Van Dijk is making headway but for me the winner is.....

Archie Thompson - Championships and Runners-up medals have flowed from his goals. He's played in big games with everything on the line.

The best A-League based striker ever? (NSL probably not a fair comparison?)
