MLT v newcastle when he kept chipping it over players when we won 2-1

I dont think mike hooper played again after that game

 

My favourite too but MLT himself does not consider it his best because he says he scuffed the shot. His favourite was the one away to Blackburn I believe. The thirty yarder against Tim Flowers.

Difficult question and normally I end up listing 5 but i suppose the one that really sticks in mind is Steve Moran at Fratton in 84, it really gave me a greater buzz at the time than any other, including Paine in 66, Funnell in 86 or Stokes in 76.

You had to have been there to understand, most hostile tense game i have ever seen in over 50 years of support

I have two

 

In the 1962–63 season Saints fielded the same line-up in 28 matches including all seven FA Cup matches as Saints progressed to the semi-final, going out 1–0 at Villa Park to eventual winners Manchester United, after an epic three match battle to get past Nottingham Forest in the previous round. In the first quarter-final replay against Forest, Burnside scored an 89th minute equaliser as Saints came back from a three goal deficit. In the second replay, at White Hart Lane he scored twice, including a rocket shot for the third goal as Saints finally defeated Forest 5–0

 

 

The 89th minute goal was over 50 years ago but I still remember it vividly today

 

In 1966 almost 15,000 Saints fans packed out Leyton Orient's ground as Terry Paine headed the goal that meant top flight football. What a night

one of the funniest ive seen with saints involved in a long time, Barry's last season own goal. my favorite for saints in the past 5-10 years punch's vs Chelsea and not just for the finish the 2 youngster combining (JWP and Shaw) then Shaw out pacing Azpilucueta whilst running with the ball! everything was just beautiful.

For me it's Camera against Norwich in the last minute to make it 4-3. I've seen more important goals and sentimental goals, but that one put me on the biggest high. I was convinced we'd stay up.

 

A close 2nd is the Crouch goal in the 94th min against the skates.

 

This, Camara's goal was epic (as my nine year old would say), was buzzing for hours afterwards and it gave us hope for another week.

Shouldn't need to ask that, surely? Bolton at home FA Cup replay after they'd gone ahead in the last minute...

 

I assumed it would be, but you never know, could have been another one. It is on a video, think it's a match of the day one or something, but I have seen it on tape. Maybe someone better than me could put it on YouTube.

I always thought the Newcastle MLT one was his best, until I saw on some program Tim Flowers saying that, just before kick off for the Blackburn game, he hung a towel up in the back of the net. MLT came over and told him he would hit that target the first chance he got. It sort of makes the distance of the shot even more unbelievable when you bear that in mind and watch it again. He strikes it perfectly.
