7 of the highest goal-scoring defenders of all time

#4 Graham Alexander

Graham Alexander’s proficiency from set pieces helped him score 129 goals

He might not be a household like most of the ones mentioned here, but Graham Alexander is someone whose penalty-taking ability allowed him to become one of the highest scoring defenders of all time. The former Scottish right-back played for numerous clubs like Scunthorpe United, Burnley, Luton Town and Preston North End.

And in his time as a player, he scored a mammoth 129 goals. The fact that he was the first spot-kick taker for the teams he played for meant that he could score a lot of goals. He has 40 international caps for Scotland as well. Strangely, however, he could never break the duck for Scotland.
