  1993-94 | Andy Cole (34 goals)

  Andy Cole’s debut season in the Premier League with Newcastle left him with a record tally of 34 goals in 40 games.

  That record still stands today, although that did come in a 42-game season and, now it is a 38-match Premier League campaign, it is a total which could stand for a long time.
