f*ck, you said against Saints, and because I refuse to pay my fiver, I can't even edit my post so my lack of paying attention is clear for all to see.

 

Then again, the post was by TheDellDays so my not paying attention is fully justified.

 

I prefer your version, best goal by a saints player. I tend not to remember goals scored against us.

I rarely remember goals scored against us, but one does stick in my mind. That was Dave Watson's thunderbolt volley for Stoke, not long after he'd signed for them - 1982 maybe. If memory serves, his goal was their second in an unlikely comeback that got them from 3-0 down to 3-3; Mark 'Albert' Whitlock got the winner for us though, a header from a corner. I don't remember the other goals at all, Stoke's or ours.

Van Nistelroy for Manchester United 2003. not for the finish, but for the build-up play, Silvestre played a 50 yard diagonal crossfield ball from Left back onto Beckhams foot, who played in Gary Neville on the overlap, Nevile crossed for Van Nistelroy to head home. all this just seconds after I had said to the season ticket holder next to me, that the diference between us and United was vision and awareness, and that they played balls we wouldn't even think of. I couldn't help thinking that if it had been Wayne Bridge at left back, would he have even thought of playing that ball?

The attendance record was broken on 8 October 1969, when 31,044 watched Saints lose 3-0 to a Manchester United team which included George Best and Bobby Charlton.

 

I think it was in the above game.

One of the Best goals was awesome he just left a trail of defenders with awesome skill and balance that I havnt seen by anyone since well maybe Henry in full flow.

awesome header...

 

michael bridges scored a goodun in that hatrick he got for leeds in 99

 

Wasn't that the game where Mark Hughes hit a very powerful shot straight into the net and back off the advertising boards behind the goal, but the ref thought he'd missed?
