FourFourTwo's 'Name your club's best goal ever'

[Crazy Diamond]

FourFourTwo magazine will next month be publishing the best goal by each of the 92 clubs plus the 12 SPL clubs.

 

They want submissions through Twitter and Facebook etc.

 

So what is the best goal ever scored by Southampton? Surely there's no contest. Channon v Liverpool, 1982?

 

[Hatch]

already voted on this, and funnily enough, on that exact goal.

My only regret is that I wasn't born for another seven years and didn't see it live, as it happened.

[Hatch]

edit - wrong thread.

[Colinjb]

Aside for one or two scored by Le God himself, it's a no contest. That goal all the way.

[jam]

I agree with the OP but any excuse to post this highlight from an otherwise dark time...

This has been bugging me for a while. There was a goal scored by us whilst being managed by the Dutch. I can't tell you who scored it or even who we were playing against, but the game was on Sky and we were heavily defeated, possibly 4-1. We did score this one goal though and predictably it was a roll out by Kelvin and about a dozen or so passes which ended up in the goal. I particularly remember the commentator saying that if that goal had been scored by Arsenal they would be discussing it for goal of the season. Stretching the memories a bit I know.

Errmmm, have you tried looking back one post?

Agree with the above goal and this was the best ever performance by the est ever Saints team IMO!

D'oh, yeah, could well have been that one.

[Crazy Diamond]

Ah yes, Lallana v QPR. The green shoot of recovery in our time of austerity.

Nah - we lost that game with the wonder goal - you're probably thinking of the 2-0 vs Liverpool in 83-84

[kwsaint]

Channon goal vs Liverpool in 82. No contest. I was in the Archers end that day as the Milton was sold out.

 

Lost the game 3-2 against a very good Liverpool side. I seem to remember that it was a cracking game and Liverpool caught us on the break near the end when we were pressing for a winner.

Surely the Wallace overhead kick from that game is a contender?

[Miltonroader07]

The last goal matty scored at the dell

[Saints Fan Dan]

Pahars v Pompey in 2003

This one:

 

[This Charming Man]

Not a bad effort either;

 

[Thedelldays]

Not a bad effort either;

 

I was at that game...spurs were turd that day.....has to be delays best ever goal in the history of his life

[raynesparksaint]

Surprised this one hasn't been mentioned. Or one of the two v Newcastle. Or any one of another 100 from Matt.

I wonder if there was a vote for top 20 Saints Goals, how many would be from MLT? Suppose it might be a bit skewed with lack of youtube footage from ye olden days

[OttawaSaint]

Some great goals mentioned already. I (partially) remember one by Ekelund after a number of passes that resulted in him steering in a diving header from almost 18 yards, think it was againts Coventry...can anyone clarify?

[tpbury]

Sorry, Channon let the team down by taking two touches ;-)

[Kingsland Codger]

Whilst I agree about the famous goal against Liverpool, I'd like to add Connolly's goal against Middlesborough last season - the one where he finished off a multi- pass (how many was it? 27? 37? 67?) move.

[bpsaint]

Not a bad effort either;

 

 

If that has been scored by a bigger club they'd still be raving about it to this day. For me that is infinitely better than Rooney one against Man City the media hugely hyped up, the technique involved is incredible, even more so considering it is Rory Decrap.

[Special K]

I loved Ekelunds goal vs Coventry away ('94) i think it was, two 1-2's i think with that old crab Magilton, before firing into the bottom right. Total football.

[John B]

Best goal when Tery paine headed the goal at Leyton Orient in 1966 to get us to Div 1

[SNOWY]

Channon for me, so many Saints legends involved, Channon, Keegan, Holmes, Cassells!

That goal by Channon was sublime, what a team we had. BTW, are Liverpool wearing our current yellow kit ?

[OldNick]

MLT did so many, my personal favourite is the one away in front of the Kop where he lifts the ball over Mark Wright a coupple of times and makes him look foolish. If you wattch the Kop they applaud the goal.

Tommy Jenkins away at WHU in about 68-70 . he seemed to beat the whole team before scoring
