Quiz: Identify the Player From Their Visualised Scoring Record

Can you identify a footballer from their career scoring record? I’ve converted players’ league goal stats into lovely colourful bar chart type things. The nineteen players featured have all scored at least 100 goals in the Premier League (although the inclusion requirement counts only Premier League goals, goals scored in the old First Division are shown to give the full picture of players’ league careers).
Each season is represented by a bar, the height of which shows the number of goals the player scored that season. Here’s a labeled example:


The correct answer here is, of course, Darren Bent who, having not yet scored 100 top flight goals, is not in the quiz below.

The colours of the bars represent the teams. They’re meant to be intuitive (they’re mostly the main colour of each team’s shirt) but here’s a key if you want it:


I know a lot of the teams’ colours look very similar (particularly the reds and blues) – that’s part of the challenge.
