Because that doesn’t change! lol how many times are we going to post the exact same response to each other Expand but he will never lose his little trophy he gets either, because he will always be known as a Premier League great because he held the all time record. And we are going to know his name even more when he loses it, because the next person to win it wont be Marcel Schmelzer, it’ll be some Harry Kane/Kylian Mbappe/Halaand type freak Quote

They have helped make it the most watched league in the world, so ofc in a time without that we are going to be less likely to know previous record holders Expand I think it more that we are alive now and are aware of our recent history. If it were 1932, we’d say ‘cor blimey, dya reckon Dixie Dean can break Bloomer’s record, or will he join Arsenal to win a title?’ Quote
