Best Saints goal you have ever seen live?

[Lymington Saint]

After seeing Shea Charles' worldie at SMS yesterday, I was wondering how it compared to other great goals.

So what is the best Saints goal you have ever seen?  I was at the Dell for the Liverpool game in 1982 and saw Channon's goal at the end of 18 passes.  For me that is the best I have seen.

Your thoughts?

Probably the Boufal goal Vs WBA for me

[Osvaldorama]

For me it depends if you’re talking about pure strikes or team goals. I wasn’t at the game yest but it was right up there.

Ricky lamberts half-volley lob from 40 yards sticks in the mind. Ridiculous goal. 

Cuco martina’s curler or Sofiane Boufal’s mazy run are another two that stick out for me. 
 

In terms of team goals, can basically pick any pochettino game. The football we played at times was breathtaking. Jrod/lallana/lambert on the counter in their prime was quality. 

[Toadhall Saint]

The best team goal without doubt the one in the Keegan/Channon era - a thing of beauty.
 

 

Individual MLT against NUFC when he flicks it over two of their defenders and side foots it into the corner (but there are numerous others from him). I class myself as very lucky to have seen most of his as they happened and the team goal above.

MLT scored/ was involved with so many he didn’t surprise any saints fan especially those in junior saints seats

Eyal Berkovic v Man Utd

Dani Oswaldo was pretty special v Man City

Danny Wallace overhead against Liverpool

Yes I was there for that one and have to agree. The other team goal that sticks out from years gone by was when we hammered Notts Forest 4-1 at The Dell and Phil Boyer finished off the move. Sadly I can't find it on You Tube.

Stern John's hat trick goal vs Hull in 2007 was pretty memorable for me. 

[Nordic Saint]

Le Tissier at Blackburn in 1994.

 

[Turkish]

It wasn’t a Saints goal but one of the best goals and most memorable goals I’ve ever seen live was Kevin Sheedy against us either late 80s or early 90s it was a 1-1 draw at the Dell. sheedy picked up the ball on the right cut inside and put it top corner archers road end from about 30 yards. These were the days when there wasn’t much football on TV or access to goals all around the world so as a kid about 12 or 13 I was awestruck as to the goal. 

[Sparkkyy]

Lambert’s lob at MK Dons or Osvaldo against City 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

No question, Le Tiss against Arsenal, last league game at The Dell. Just for pure emotion. He's scored better no doubt, but just for the occasion alone it has to be that one. 

[Kenilworthy1959]

Tom Jenkins at West Ham in August 1970. Left six defenders, including Bobby Moore, on their backsides before scoring. Sadly no footage exists. Geoff Hurst equalised through a dodgy penalty

Said to my mate at the game - this game is lined up for Matty to come on and score and he obliged! Fairytale stuff. I don’t think I have ever heard a goal celebrated so loudly.

  Just copying my own post from the match thread.

It's hard to put them in order but for games when I've actually been in the stadium it's competing with:

• Osvaldo vs Man City
• Thomas vs Ipswich
• Lambert away at MK Dons
• Lallana vs Hull
• Pelle vs QPR

Plus a whole smorgasbord of free kicks from Lambert, Vignal, JWP, Bale and randomly Chris Baird.

 

Glad to see the MK goal getting remembered by other people. It often slips under the radar because it was away in League 1 but it really was a cracker. Tiss vs Blackburn - esq in awareness and precision.

I was there too. Fantastic goal. I was also there for MLT v Newcastle another contender. 

[LoyalSaintSO50]

Plenty of the above. For individual John Barnes v Brazil style, pass it ffs pass it nah keep going my son, Marsden at Ipswich, Kevin Davies at Everton, Boufal at home West Brom 

Celebration wise, Rasiak away at Derby play offs 89th minute took some beating. Obviously didn’t end well but in the context when that went in, bedlam 

[Sheaf Saint]

Probably a bit of recency bias here but Stewart's goal at Bramall Lane earlier this season is right up there with the best I have seen from the stands.

[bpsaint]

Agree with most of these, seeing Osvaldo and Martina live were pretty special. 
 

Stuart Armstrong against Coventry though, being sat behind the shot and seeing the way that ball moved was pretty incredible.

It was written for him. Don't mind admitting when I eventually left thr ground I had tears in my eyes

[HKsaint]

Long vs Liverpool. One of the most sensational 

[obelisk]

Has to be Franny Benali against Leicester for me. Picked out by a MLT free kick and I was right behind the header as it powered into the net. A real one-off.

[RedArmy]

Of the ones I haven’t seen mentioned… Bairds free kick against Cardiff was a belter. 

[RedArmy]

Delap’s bicycle kick against Spurs too. 

One of the purest strikes from a bicycle kick you’ll ever see.  

[Football Special]

For me it was one of Le Tiss magic moments, Blackburn away 94/95 season, very few of us up there for that game

Le Tiss last game at The Dell has to be up there for all round meaning, felt like time stood still as it fell to him and celebrations when it went in were off the scale. 

Special mention for Long away to Liverpool semi final, great team move on the break

 

[rallyboy]

That Channon one is the ultimate team goal, while Boufal's takes some beating as an individual effort and it was a massive goal in the context of the season.

Martina's was nuts, and a mention for Rothwell's volley against Huddersfield.

Shea's yesterday was special, especially if like me you were fortunate enough to have an angle to see the path of the ball and how much it curled. You could watch it a hundred times, and I probably will.

Great moment.

 

[Lord Duckhunter]

Another vote for the Arsenal last game one for me. Iconic, summed the man up. Was clearly not really fit, from memory hadn’t scored many that season, sent on as a romantic gesture, just saw a glimmer of an opportunity to write his own headline,  and smashed in an absolute belter. Genius summed up, it’s not just about ability, it’s about producing it at the most dramatic moment.

Going back a bit, Ivan Golac against West Brom.

JRod was really becoming a decent player I feel before his injury. 

He still had a good career but definitely think doing his knee in etc curtailed it a bit.

[warsash saint]

I was there for most of MLT's wordies - the goal at Ewood Park probably the pick i have seen in the flesh.

 

Ivan Golac's goal against WBA probably in second place

Kevin Sheedy did similar in 1985/86 at the Dell in the last minute, Everton winning 2-3.

Missed it, my old man used my season my ST whilst I was watching the WI v England Test in Barbados. I was very noisy when they played a clip of it on TV in St Lawrence Gap.
