  Cliff Bastin @ Arsenal.y2u.co.uk
Bastin would play the rest of his career at Arsenal, scoring 178 goals in 395 games; he was Arsenal's all-time top goalscorer until 1997, when his total was surpassed by Ian Wright.
Bastin's scoring feats are all the more remarkable considering he played on the left wing rather than as centre forward; the partnership he formed with Alex James was the source of many of his goals.
Bastin had injured his right leg in the season before the war, which would go on to hamper his performances in wartime matches, and ultimately curtail his career.

 Cliff Bastin - DeafWiki
Cliff "Boy" Bastin (1912-1991) was a late-deafened British professional football (soccer) player.
Deafness appeared around age 19 or 20, and he and a close colleague on the team devised a homemade sign language for use on the field.
Pro football (soccer) was suspended during World War II, and Bastin was exempted from military service because of his deafness.

 Cliff Bastin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bastin's scoring feats are all the more remarkable considering he played on the left wing rather than as centre forward; at the time Arsenal's strategy depended heavily on their wingers cutting into the penalty box, and the supply of passes from Alex James was the source of many of his goals.
With Arsenal, Bastin won the FA Cup twice, in 1930-31 and 1935-36, and the First Division title five times, in 1930-31, 1932-33, 1933-34, 1934-35 and 1937-38.
Bastin also finished as Arsenal top scorer twice (1932-33 and 1933-34, with 33 and 15 respectively) though after centre-forward Ted Drake arrived in March 1934, Bastin was no longer Arsenal's number one target man. Nevertheless, Bastin still reached double figures in three more seasons through the 1930s.

Cliff Bastin had a bad knee and was as deaf as a goalpost in one ear but over a golden decade between 1929 and the start of World War II he established himself as Arsenal's most prolific marksman of all time from outside left.
Bastin was at his peak at 27 when World War II broke out, and what other amazing records he might have set can only be a matter of speculation.
Bastin was last heard of before his demise, in the familiar guise of the old-time ex-footballer, running a pub in his native Exeter.

After a slow start, Bastin eventually slotted in on the left wing for the Gunners, although he also played at inside-forward, a role he preferred.
In the ten years from 1929, Bastin would win five league championships and two FA Cup finals, and played in all of Arsenal's 42 league games in the 1930/31 season, the first season which the north London club secured the title - a feat they repeated two years later.
From the left wing, Bastin would score 178 goals in 396 appearances for Arsenal, a record that was surpassed in 1997 by striker Ian Wright who in turn was eclipsed by Thierry Henry in January 2006.

Having won every honour in the game by the time he was 21, Cliff Bastin went on to become Arsenal's greatest goal-scorer, a proud record he held for nearly sixty years until a certain Mr Wright overtook him in 97.
Bastin scored 178 times for the gunners, a wonderful achievement when you consider he played most of his football on the wing.

Thierry Henry equalled Cliff Bastin's club record of 150 league goals with a stunning hat-trick as Arsenal thrashed Middlesbrough 7-0 at Highbury.
It was now just a question of whether Henry could equal Highbury legend Bastin's record - and the home fans did not have long to wait to celebrate as the Frenchman achieved the feat in the 68th minute by racing on to a pass from Reyes and firing past the hapless Jones.

Thierry Henry underlined why Arsenal are so desperate to persuade him to stay as he hit a hat-trick in a 7-0 thrashing of Middlesbrough at Highbury.
Henry's treble saw him equal Cliff Bastin's Arsenal record of 150 league goals and Philippe Senderos, Robert Pires, Gilberto Silva and Alexander Hleb were also on target against 10-man Middlesbrough.
In recent months speculation had mounted that Gunners captain Henry was disillusioned with his side's poor form and, with Barcelona signalling their interest, it seemed Arsenal's talisman was set to leave.

I go for Cliff Bastin purely on the grounds that he created the record and on a much lower salary than Thierry is getting also without Cliff Bastin's record where would the Gunners be today.
I think it is fitting that Bastin's record be left behind at Highbury as a Highbury legacy and that Henry who is the present and the future start the new stadium with a brand new record that will still be added to.
I think Sierra meant that it is fitting that Cliff Bastin's record is broken at THOF,and stays where it was made.

 Arsenal Football Club - The Glorious History 1886 to 1945
The West Stand cost £45,000 and was officially opened by the Prince of Wales (later the Duke of Windsor) on the 10th December 1932.
All the goals were classic Arsenal - a long ball from Pat Beasley for Drake to run on to, a long pass from Bastin which Drake picked up and ran with to the edge of the area before scoring, and a rebound from a Pat Beasley shot from the wing.
Incidentally, Arsenal had previously been fined £250 by the Football League for resting players (Roberts and Drake) and fielding less than their most competative team between F.A. Cup ties (once Arsenal found that they were unable to win the First Division for the 4th consecutive time).
