aussiesaint20 Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Was unexpected, but class. Was hoping someone might have put it up on the net, but can't find it anywhere.. In the hope of sparking conversation - Victor's been a great signing for us, but the 'showboat' isn't exactly his strength. What other players have had moments that could be considered completely out of their footballing character? Delap and Crouch come to mind. Any others? I guess any of Rickie's rare misses easy misses could be put in that category. Likewise with Suarez not being a cu*t. Nominate away!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Spider almost connected with a bicycle kick at Stoke
Barry the Badger Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Chris Marsdens goal? He looked like he couldn't believe what just happened!
ericofarabia Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 If only other recent bicycle kicks had ended up like this one from the OP's suggestion of Rory Delap.
Saint Charlie Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Delap overhead kick Any Ormerod shot that wasn't scuffed
shurlock Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 There are highlights of Big Vic doing exactly the same move for Celtic.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Yeah I think Wanyama is quite skilful - he scored a lot of good goals for Celtic and played in a more advance role for them. We have him sitting in front of the back 4 which so far is proving very effective - kudos to him for making the transition so quickly and successfully
Colinjb Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Certain I saw Olivier Bernard perform a tackle inside his own half during his half season with us. That was remarkably out of character.
Minty Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Wanyama needed that bit of skill, cos his first touch for that particular move was Carlton Palmer-esque.
mightysaints Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 I was there for that goal, fantastic goal, could not believe it at 1stChris Marsdens goal?
WindsorSaint Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Terry Paine heading the ball. I think it was against West Ham in December 71...
James_O_Mac Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Fabrice Fernandes positioning himself near a long range free kick and jumping with both hands in the air to stop it. The whole ground were looking at him as if to say 'WTF' and it's any wonder he didn't get sent off.
The9 Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Fabrice Fernandes positioning himself near a long range free kick and jumping with both hands in the air to stop it. The whole ground were looking at him as if to say 'WTF' and it's any wonder he didn't get sent off. Only would have been a yellow card, though it has inspired me to say "Fabrice Fernandes driving straight for goal on a quick breakaway and definitely not making crop circles on the half way line".
suewhistle Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 The winger Stuart Ripley actually crossing a ball successfully..
Stud mark of doom Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Wayne Thomas's screamer - I'm the cup I think. Also seem to remember cartlon "the legend" Palmer scoring a van basten-like far post volley?
The9 Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Alan Bennett and Chris Makin performing as a competent defensive partnership. Marek Saganowski giving a crap once he had a contract.
Lighthouse Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Wayne Thomas's screamer - I'm the cup I think. Also seem to remember cartlon "the legend" Palmer scoring a van basten-like far post volley? Chris Baird likewise in a game against Cardiff. Bale was lining up the FK and nobody expected Baird to shoot instead. Won goal of the season I think.
The9 Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 James Ward-Prowse whipping in a mental spinning and dipping right footed free-kick. But only the first time he did it. Ditto Bale taking a free kick in early 2006/7 season.
Tom Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Chris Baird free kick against Cardiff? Or Birmingham ?
Minty Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 James Ward-Prowse whipping in a mental spinning and dipping right footed free-kick. But only the first time he did it. Ditto Bale taking a free kick in early 2006/7 season. Wouldn't say that was 'out of character' as we didn't *know* their character (or rather, their ability) at that point... Most of the other examples are pretty good though, because we'd seen plenty of the player and would not have expected it from them.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Gaston once missed the first man with a set piece.
del boy Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Terry Paine heading the ball. I think it was against West Ham in December 71... I once saw Terry Paine score a headed goal - I only wish I'd recorded the details if I'd realised it was such a collectors item at the time
Appy Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Jordan Robertson on his debut against Norwich, what a goal.
Bananaman Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 Chris Baird free kick against Cardiff? Or Birmingham ? I'm sure that was brum
Lighthouse Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 I'm sure that was brum If it's the same one I'm thinking of it's 100% Cardiff. Definitely wasn't the Brum game at SMS that season because that was the 4-3 game when we got 3 goals in 6 minutes.
Lets B Avenue Posted 6 November, 2013 Posted 6 November, 2013 I once saw Terry Paine score a headed goal - I only wish I'd recorded the details if I'd realised it was such a collectors item at the time Leyton Orient away in the 1966 promotion game.
