🚨 POINTLESS STAT OF THE DAY #222 ENGLISH FOOTBALL'S HIGH-SCORING DRAW SPECIALISTS ALL-TIME STATS! That bonkers 4-4 at Old Trafford at the weekend meant Aston Villa joined Tottenham as the clubs with the most 4-4 draws in Premier League history but it sent us down a much bigger rabbit hole… Forget the Premier League. Who are English football's REAL high-scoring draw specialists? At Statty HQ, we've been through the history books and looked at every club currently playing in the top four divisions. Minimum 200 league matches. We're counting 3-3s, 4-4s, 5-5s and 6-6s. And the winners of this entirely pointless competition are… Rochdale! What a trophy to have in the cabinet. 🏆 🥇 THE TOP FIVE Rochdale – 73 in 4,254 games (1.72%) Everton – 83 in 4,960 (1.67%) Charlton Athletic – 70 in 4,213 (1.66%) Portsmouth – 71 in 4,283 (1.66%) Accrington Stanley – 39 in 2,372 (1.64%) 🥶 THE FIVE LEAST LIKELY TO JOIN THE PARTY Salford City – 2 in 320 games (0.63%) Leyton Orient – 38 in 4,704 (0.81%) Stevenage – 6 in 733 (0.82%) Port Vale – 45 in 4,908 (0.92%) Cheltenham Town – 11 in 1,194 (0.92%) Salford have managed just TWO 3-3 draws in 320 league games. Not one 4-4, 5-5 or 6-6. Are they boring? Or is this simply what happens when you're a relatively new club, with fewer years of football history behind you? And does the modern game produce fewer of these goal-fests than the old days? The full Top 20 is below. Have a look and tell us who surprises you most. PART TWO LATER: When we will be looking at the only clubs in the entire history of English league football to have recorded every draw score from 1-1 to 6-6. Use this information wisely. 🤓
