hans gruber Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 haha what a cracker... love those strips too... would be cool to be playing in something similar to that again...
Wes Tender Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Funnily enough, when I saw the title, I thought of the Delap goal too. Crap player generally, but any player in the World would have been happy to have scored that one.
Saint137 Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Bearing in mind who it was against, and the fact it was Channon's final goal for us, its by far and away my favourite goal. Probably also helps I was a nipper when it was scored, remember everyone trying to play one-touch at school on the Monday. Can't think of a similar "team" goal, we probably scored a few last season when we were utterly taking the **** but none of them are iconic. Few goals seem to stick in the memory these days. too much footie on TV I guess. Others that spring to mind: Beattie against Leicester Pahars vs the Skates Golac vs (Coventry?) Most of Matty's
Andre Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 This has to be up there. Wow, that's an incredible team goal, some fancy stuff going on there! This one has to get a vote for best finish Je-hesus.
Golden Balls Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Can't think of a similar "team" goal, we probably scored a few last season when we were utterly taking the **** but none of them are iconic I seem to remember Connolly scoring a great team goal either last year or the year before?
Made in Southampton Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Danny Wallace overhead kick against.........?
eelpie Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Of all time? Well my memory is a bit hazy, but in 1888 Gandy's 90 yard thunderbolt that went right through the net and landed in the pond has to be up there too.
Mowgli Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 I found myself thinking back to that Channon goal against Liverpool on Saturday. Rodriguez goal had similarities but I only counted 10 passes leading to the goal rather than the 15 against Liverpool. But somehow, I thought the ball control for the Rodriguez goal was of a higher standard.
Pilchards Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Danny Wallace overhead kick against.........? Liverpool on a cold Friday night as we beat them 2 nil. Danny Wallace scored a 2nd as he out jumped Alan Hansen. Remember it well as I love my old dell days.
Pilchards Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Of all time? Well my memory is a bit hazy, but in 1888 Gandy's 90 yard thunderbolt that went right through the net and landed in the pond has to be up there too. Very close, it was Tandy and his effort also got a deflection on the way before it beat the Bury keeper Gilpes.
eelpie Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Very close, it was Tandy and his effort also got a deflection on the way before it beat the Bury keeper Gilpes. No it was definitely Gandy. I remember he forgot his right football boot and had to wear hobnails, which were lethal.

Saint Garrett Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 I seem to remember Connolly scoring a great team goal either last year or the year before? Middlesbrough at home, the 3rd, after Guly had got the first one. Superb goal.
angelman Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 The Channon goal in the OP, is one that I watch from time to time to cheer myself up. It is one of the best goals ever scored let alone for Saints (IMO obviously, as it is all subjective). If that was Liverpool, ManU, Barcelona, Brazil, etc then it would be played all the time.
david in sweden Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 (edited) Funnily enough, when I saw the title, I thought of the Delap goal too. Crap player generally, but any player in the World would have been happy to have scored that one. -I think that's a trifle unfair. He was the type of utility player who could DAJFU ...when asked to fill a role. Back in the days when shirts were numbered 1-11, he started his first game at RB ....and although only playing 24 games wore ...SEVEN different shirt numbers that season. Always willing to " fill-in " whenever there was a problem, he was IMO.. unfairly criticised just because he was willing to have a go. He is certainly the only Saints player (to my knowledge) to have scored 2 goals in an away League game v. Arsenal....when he scored twice in the last 10 minutes. (2004/5) ....we certainly never found a striker who could capitalise on his long throw-ins.... (as were seen after he moved to Stoke). Edited 3 April, 2013 by david in sweden
Wade Garrett Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Definitely the Channon goal. Also liked the one by Marsden at Stamford Bridge, when for a few seconds he played like Maradona!

I think you'll find Steve Moran and Dave Armstrong both acheived that feat in the mid 80's. ;-) As team effort goes, the OP wins hands down for quality, but last season Notts For ? at SMS there was a goal which involved something like 28 ? passes in the build up, most being one touch passes at that. My favourite has to be MLT's 1st of the 2 wonder goals v Newcastle just as he was about to be subbed by Branfart. It annoys me that most of the replays miss out the original 1st touch as he drags the ball from behind him whilst going forward at speed (well fast for Matt!). And even if he miss hit the shot, the sheer audacity of the flicks past the defenders were something to behold.
ericofarabia Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Definitely the Channon goal. Also liked the one by Marsden at Stamford Bridge, when for a few seconds he played like Maradona! Do you mean Ipswich, where he ran past about 6 defenders as if he had a magic force field around him which wouldn't let defenders get anywhere near him?
Micky Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 This is way up there, don't remember too many better than this...
saint_disco123 Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 surely the 24 pass one in league 1 a few years a go has got to have a shout out? anyone got a video of it?
ericofarabia Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 The Wayno one above reminded me of Ivan golac's bullet shot - don't think you'll ever see a sweeter strike of the ball.
bpsaint Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Barry Hornes' last minute equaliser against Bolton is certainly up there.
Our Claus Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Best goal I've ever seen that wasn't scored by Le Tiss. Pahars v Derby at The Dell, an absolute beauty.
Super_Saint Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Nice to see this goal on the front page of reddit right now, some kind comments -
david in sweden Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 I think you'll find Steve Moran and Dave Armstrong both acheived that feat in the mid 80's. ;-) ...and how right you are Eric. I must admit I was concentrating on the Premier League records, but indeed both Moran and Armstrong also scored " doubles " at Highbury - as was then.
Kenilworthy Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Ronnie Ekelund 1994-95 to make it 3-1 against Coventry at Highfield Road. One touch football at its very best.
CB Saint Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Best goal I've ever seen that wasn't scored by Le Tiss. Pahars v Derby at The Dell, an absolute beauty. A familiar fella scores derby's first
Gemmel Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 The times of sand have a way of exaggerating memories when it comes to football, but there is a goal I have never seen since the night it was scored, that looked incredible. Luton Vs Saints midweek league cup game (Or whatever if was called that particular year) Glen Cockerill dying minutes to earn a draw back at The Dell (Which of course we lost) Can't find it anywhere, but it was a cracker from a stupid angle (As I remember it - but will probably turn out to be a tap in) ... Can anyone help
SaintRobbie Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 This has to be up there. Any others? Nope that is the best goal I've ever seen!
BallBoy Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 The Keegan "no goal" for me. A delicious twist at the end when Armstrong, who had strayed marginally offside, made amends by scoring the winner after 89 minutes.
aintforever Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 For me the only one close to that Channon goal is the Le Tissier one against Blackburn. Both of those are way above anything else I can remember.
Badger Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 For me the best goal award is : team goal : Channon v Liverpool as shown above, individual goal : MLT v Newcastle 1994 (?) when he strolled through their defence and stroked the ball in One of my greatest and fondest memories though is KK's overhead 'goal' , 5/12/81. The Keegan "no goal" for me. A delicious twist at the end when Armstrong, who had strayed marginally offside, made amends by scoring the winner after 89 minutes. What a team - Keegan,Channon,Ball,Armstrong,Williams, Golac.
Saints boy in Leeds Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 This one has to get a vote for best finish Really ?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 3 April, 2013 Posted 3 April, 2013 Nowhere near THE best but while we're discussing some of the best, How about Lambert's 3rd at MK Dons? Admittedly it wasn't a 'bullet' kind of shot but the technique was pretty darn impressive considering the distance and that it was straight from a goal kick.
Appy Posted 4 April, 2013 Posted 4 April, 2013 That goal we scored against Boro last season at home was pretty special. 28 passes was it?
Dark Munster Posted 4 April, 2013 Posted 4 April, 2013 Barry Hornes' last minute equaliser against Bolton is certainly up there. Goalie should have got it. But this, on the other hand ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZS4vyf1pNQ&feature=player_detailpage
offix Posted 4 April, 2013 Posted 4 April, 2013 Although disallowed by the ref, for me the greatest "goal" I ever saw at the Dell was Keegan's bicycle kick (third in this clip https://www3.gotomeeting.com/island/login.tmpl)
exeter_saint Posted 4 April, 2013 Posted 4 April, 2013 Absolutely quality goal, great work from a young morgan and adam
saintquin Posted 4 April, 2013 Posted 4 April, 2013 I think that's the best "team" goal I've seen. That with LeTiss' against Newcastle and Keegan's dissallowed goal would be my three best Saints goals I've seen. Another great Saints team goal is Danny Wallace overhead kick against Liverpool a couple years later .
