Who else has 302 club goals?

Three hundred club goals is a number that separates the great from the merely excellent. In the modern game, with its global chasing of the same few elite scorers, reaching such a milestone is a career in itself. Jermaine McLellan has now done it, and with a margin.

McLellan finished the 2062/63 season on 302 club goals, having added to his tally for Paris Saint-Germain. The 36-year-old Englishman has spent his 21-year career across three clubs, scoring 302 times in 711 appearances. That is a goal every 2.35 games, sustained over more than two decades.

The numbers are stark. Only a handful of players in history have scored 300 club goals, and McLellan's 302 puts him in that company. He has also scored 54 times for England in 103 internationals, underlining his standing as one of the biggest names in world football.

What makes the milestone more remarkable is the consistency it implies. McLellan has never been a one-season wonder. His career spans from 2042/43 to the present, and he has remained productive throughout. The fact that he has done it across three clubs—not bouncing around a dozen—speaks to his longevity and adaptability.

For PSG, his current club, his presence is a statement. A player of his stature, still scoring at 36, is a rare asset. The question now is how far he can push the number. 350? 400? At his current rate, even a couple more seasons could see him climb further into the all-time lists.

But for now, 302 is the figure. It is a landmark that few will ever approach, and one that McLellan has reached with quiet inevitability.
