English striker German played for the Blasters twice, in 2015 and 2016-17. In his first season with the Kochi-based side, German scored four consecutive goals.

Only one other striker had a better scoring streak for the Blasters. It was Dimitrios Diamantakos who left the Blasters in the summer. Diamantakos' best scoring streak was five games between November-December 2022. The Greek striker also had another four-game scoring streak between December 2023 and February 2024.
