We done for Saints what about against.

There have been plenty but one that sticks out out in my memory, because it was when i first started going on the Milton with my mates and i thought he was a brilliant player was kevin Sheedy for Everton in a 1-1 draw at the Dell c1990. It's on here 2 minutes 30.

Remember Mark Venus and Tudgay scoring stunning top corner screamers for Ipswich and Blackburn respectively when we first moved to St Mary's. Was at Highbury when we got butt-raped 6-1 just before the cup final in '03, couldnt help but applaud Pires' 35 yard curled lob.

I was at Old Trafford years back when United horsed us 5-1 or 6-1 (I stopped counting!), Pahars got ours after the damage had been done.

 

When they were already 3 or 4 up, Phil Neville of all people picked the ball up well outside the box, went on a mazy run and then blasted it into the top corner. We all stood there in amazement for several seconds before a loud ironic chant of 'what the ****ing hell was that?' broke out, which he saw the funny side of.

 

You know that when Phil Neville scores a screamer it's definitely not your day.

Huckerby - I just cant remember who he was playing for at the time. It was at the Dell. I found myself clapping and getting some very strange looks in The Archers.

 

Havings said that, if you watch some of MLT's goals, you will quite often see the other teams fans clapping his spectacular ones.

Dave Watson for Stoke City at the Dell, not long after he left us. Early eighties, but can't remember exactly which season it was. Watson's goal was a stunning thirty-yard volley (left foot I think) after the ball had been cleared to him. Nobody knew he could do anything like that - I doubt he did either! The match ended 4-3; we'd gone 3-0 up, they pulled it back, then Mark 'Albert' Whitlock scored the winner from a corner at the death.

I remember that goal. I don't think I've ever seen a ball hit harder.

Coventry I believe, if it's the one where he ran down the left wing, cut in, and smashed it in from 25ish yards? Or maybe it was a volley?

 

Anyway, pretty sure it was Coventry.

The best I have seen in person was probably Rochdale's second earlier this season.

 

The best I saw back in the premiership days (again in person) would have been Stephen Carr scoring for Newcastle. Hit it 30 yards out from the right hand side of the penalty area.. It rose at speed, dipped and beat Niemi into the far corner.

I clapped the Barnsley player who tucked away two excellent free-kicks against us.

 

I think I remember the Huckerby goal someone mentioned above, and the Kinkladze one.

 

We must've conceded loads of good goals down the years but it's actually quite hard to pinpoint them. You tend to remember the most emotional ones rather than the quality.

Grant Mccann i think that was, currently captain at Posh.

Was this in the Blayney "shearer's header save of the season" game? I was there for both, and I think the Carr goal was the season after but can't be sure.

Thats exactly the one I am taking about, and he smashed it in from about 25 yards after a long run. - Great goal

Nigel Clough scored a dream goal for forest at the Milton road end. seemed to run through the whole team, round the keeper, and rolled it into the net.

Just stood there with his arms in the air, and you could hardly blame him.Celebrated in very clough like, gentlemanly style. Class.

 

Certainly my favourite.

Mark Venus for Ipswich in our first season at St Mary's. Was a 30 yard screamer in a crazy 3-3 draw.

 

Couldn't find the goal on youtube, but did stumble across footage of a 3-3 draw at the Dell against Ipswich in the early 80's. Includes a cracker from Phil Boyer, but also possibly the WORST goal we ever let in (Ipswich's 3rd which made it 3-2)

Agree with Venus and Tugay at SMS (the 3-3 v Ipswich was Strachan's first game and also the game where Delgado was paraded and videos shown on the big screen).

 

Another good goal at SMS was Forest a couple of years ago, v drab 0-0 at the time, midway through the second half the ball broke to their centre-mid and without breaking stride he just clipped it fully 35 yards over the top of our CBs, over the keeper who wasn't that far off his line, and hit it so well it bounced on the line on the way in - perfect strike and totally pre-meditated - can't remember who it was though!

Joe Garner. Great strike.
