Seaford Saint Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 I am in my mid 50's and I am sure I remember a time when a few goalkeepers acored direct. I am sure it happened at the Dell (a goalkeeper scored direct) and I vaguely remember that it might have happened more than once possibly in consecutive games. If it did happen at the Dell who were the keepers Can anyone enlighten me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsarum Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 Don't you all realise that this sort of thing never happened before the premier league Well certainly that's what Sky would have you believe anyway I've only seen this occur live once with Mark Crossley for Sheff Weds against us in last minute in a 3-3 draw at Hillsborough, although Anti Neimi went close hitting the bar against Fulham at Loftus Road, before Michael Svennson scored when we drew 2-2.

Lets B Avenue Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 As well as Shilts, a goal I missed as my Dad had us out of the Archers the minute Leicester scored their 3rd, Pat Jennings scored for Spurs v manU a few weeks earlier in the Charity Shield at WHL.

Window Cleaner Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 Jeez there's a lot of old farts on this forum probably because going to football on your own was the first sign of juvenile emancipation in our day. I'm sure I was going on my own from about 10 onwards,number 14 bus to Stag Gates,walk down with a couple of other lads,through the boys gate for a handful of shrapnel and then you were free to swear all you liked without getting moaned at by your mum and grounded by your dad.Poor little sods have to go with their folks nowadays.

Lets B Avenue Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 Special buses went from outside The Gateway as soon as they filled up. Many a time we missed it, despite being in The Archers. Got off this one in Swaythling and our neighbour got off with us and asked if we had seen it. I was devastated. Luckily ITV had a camera on the roof of the West stand and showed it on Monday's Day By Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMarlin Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 it was a dreadful day, and like a few others, I missed Shilton's goal. My dad and I were so soaked, we did something we never did before - or after. We left before the end and heard a cheer halfway up Milton Road, assuming Saints had pulled one back only to discover the gory details later. Campbell Forsyth said the ball bounced on the only piece of solid ground - the painted line of the 18-yard box. It wouldn't happen today with the much lighter marking material used, but I remember when pitches had rock-solid markings thanks to succesive layers and layers of white paint.

VectisSaint Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 I recall the Jennings/Shilton goals (although not live, only on TV), Shilts was in my second season supporting Saints. There is actually an article on goalscoring keepers in Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_goalscoring_goalkeepers I am still not convinced that Jonny Vegas actually scored or was even a keeper, he is too much of a lardy (even more than me)!! We need a Saints keeper on the list (besides Shilts and Brucey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bensfcno1 Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 I remember being sat in traffic on the way home from Selhurst park (i think Delhurst Park year), hearing about how Glass had scored in the last few seconds to keep Carlisle in the football league!

Village Saint Posted 5 January, 2012 Share Posted 5 January, 2012 BBC news report of the goal today said it 'made history'. Then mentioned the other ones. D'oh. I think in fact Howard's goal might well be unique. I may be wrong but my memory of the others - Jennings; Stepney; Shilton etc was that they all came from kicks from hand. I think Howard's goal was the first where a goalkeeper played the ball from the ground and scored. If true it would also make it the longest goal ever scored by someone kicking a ball from the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericofarabia Posted 6 January, 2012 Share Posted 6 January, 2012 I was there, still mentally scarred ... I was there .... but have always been mental!! Somebody mentioned Pat Jennings scoring as well in the same season. Pretty sure it was against Man U at Old Trafford. I wonder what Fergie would have made of that!! It was against Alex Stepney who scored a few times himself a few years later as Man U's peno taker!! I wonder what happened if he missed any?

saintscottofthenortham Posted 6 January, 2012 Share Posted 6 January, 2012 I scored one for the mighty Hamble Town in the Hamble derby against United. The game had a little write up in the pink (despite being a poxy division 4 or 5 fixture), and I didn't get a f*****g mention because our forward scored a hat trick. FFS.

Dellman Posted 6 January, 2012 Share Posted 6 January, 2012 Yep, like loads of other posters I was there the day Shilton scored, it's not the sort of thing you ever forget, I remember exactly where I was standing --under the old halftime scoreboard penned in the Archers corner, always a brilliant view but that was something you wouldn't want to see, nightmare stuff, and soaked to the skin as well.
