Patrick Bamford represented five Premier League clubs, playing 25 times before scoring his first goal in the competition.
In the 17 games he has played since, Bamford has scored 11.
Stints with Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Norwich City, Burnley and Middlesbrough preceded his time with Leeds United where he has found a home at the point of Marcelo Bielsa's attacking spear.
This season, he has become the fastest player to score 15 goals while representing a promoted club for 21 years.
Kevin Phillips was the last player to score ten in the first 15 Premier League games of a new season for a promoted side, going on to net 30 times for Sunderland in the 1999/00 campaign.
The record is still held by Andy Cole who, when representing Newcastle United, netted 15 goals in the first 15 league games of the 1993/94 season having been promoted from the First Division the season before.
It is esteemed company to be in, but Bamford may actually be more pleased about another aspect of his early season goalscoring run.
Goals against Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Burnley mean he has now scored against every current Premier League side he has previously represented. With Norwich City and Middlesbrough in the second tier, he does not have the option of netting against his former employers and exorcising the demons of those previous Premier League stints, but the triple will certainly do fine for now.
To have done so at the first attempt also shows the ruthlessness Bamford has found this season. In fact, two such strikes have originated directly from the same movement, in rounding - or attempting to round - an onrushing goalkeeper and stabbing home.
Against Chelsea, Bamford was successful in evading Edouard Mendy as he raced out of his goal, while the same occurred against Burnley, although he was taken down by Nick Pope in the process, then dispatching of the resulting penalty.
Any lingering doubt that he could be a Premier League player if given the correct conditions and support must now be gone, both in the minds of those on the terraces and in Bamford's own.
A 25-game goalless stretch across four clubs would test the patience and resolve of any top level attacker, but Bamford has found his sweet spot at Leeds and is thriving in it.
It further goes to prove that players mature and develop at different stages. At 27, Bamford has only been ready for top level football in the past 18 months - under the stewardship of Marcelo Bielsa.
Despite being physically capable of playing top flight football six and seven years ago, and a good record at U-21 level as it was then, Bamford simply wasn't ready. Now with Leeds in optimal conditions, he certainly is, and has his entry in the Premier League record books to prove it.
