Saints foreva Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Seem to remember our goal at Charlton in 2008 being a pretty weird own goal. Think the goalkeeper jumped and caught the ball only for his own player to head it out of his own hands and into the net.
Lighthouse Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Riise's was pretty good but my personal favourite was one MK Dons centre half smacking the ball off the back of the other and into the net. Pretty sure it was the JPT Southern final.
Fowllyd Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 It's a long time ago, but I remember a Rangers player (possibly Willie Donachie) chipping his keeper quite beautifully from the corner of the box in an Anglo-Scottish Cup match.
Noodles34 Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Grobbelaar at Coventry Good call. Was there for that. Did Ronnie Eckland play in that game? Seem to remember him and Matty playing so well against Coventry away one year.
pap Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Grobbelaar at Coventry Puts me in mind of "Bruce Grobbelaar lets in goals", sung to the tune of "Heads, shoulders, knees and toes". 1... 2... 3... Bruce Grobbelaar lets in goals, lets in goals, lets in goals Bruce Grobbelaar lets in goals, lets in goals, lets in goals And then he drives a fúcking great big Rolls Bruce Grobbelaar lets in goals, lets in goals, lets in goals
Badger Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 I remember David Peach hitting a volley on the turn from the edge of the penalty area into our goal, on a Friday evening game v Millwall at The Dell c 1974 or 5. Alex Lindsey c 1970 headed into the Liverpool goal for us. (I think that was the game John McGrath upset Shankly for him and the media to label us Alehouse footballers).
Reggie Dunlop Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Didn't Leon best score one in the play off 2nd leg semi final with derby, hoofing it in the top corner?
Lets B Avenue Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 It's a long time ago, but I remember a Rangers player (possibly Willie Donachie) chipping his keeper quite beautifully from the corner of the box in an Anglo-Scottish Cup match. Donachie never played for Rangers. In fact he never played for any Scottish club side. You are thinking of Colin Jackson and it was a great OG.
dan17 Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Best vs Derby That was pretty special to be fair. Could try it 5000 times and never repeat it. Unbelievable.
pap Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Riise's was pretty good but my personal favourite was one MK Dons centre half smacking the ball off the back of the other and into the net. Pretty sure it was the JPT Southern final. MLT's comment on Riise's goal:- "Good shot from the distance!" (or something very close)
stevegrant Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 I seem to remember from one of those Danny Baker "Own Goals and Gaffs" videos that Mike Newell scored an epic headed own goal for us while playing for Everton, a bullet header from the edge of the area giving Southall no chance. Annoyingly he scored at the right end as well and we lost 4-3. http://www.11v11.com/matches/southampton-v-everton-16-march-1991-90019/
sandwichsaint Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 Wolves away c1969-'70. Me small boy in stands. Phil Parkes (wolves keeper) rolls ball to Wolves LB Derek Parkin and Parkin plays it back to Parkes (in the days of the back pass). Irritated, Parkes picks it up and rolls it to Parkin gesturing him to hoof it up field, Parkin again passes back to Parkes. Parkes returns ball to Parkin indicating that he should hoof it away and doesn't want it back. With that Parkes kneels on the 6 yd line and starts to adjust his bootlaces, whilst the hapless Parkin turns for a third time and plays another back pass to Parkes, only this time to see Parkes perfectly stranded on his knees and the ball roll agonisingly into the unguarded net. Deep joy. Not sure how accurate a recollection this is (I was 8 or 9 and it was a long time ago) or what ITN says about it but I can remember it clear as day. I would love to know if Parkin really did score an OG against Saints at Molineux some time between '68-'72 or if my brain has started to manufacture Saints-related-snippets somewhere along the way in the ageing process.

How times have changed.
Colinjb Posted 29 April, 2014 Posted 29 April, 2014 I'm going to suggest Coleman from the weekend. Rather then a fumbling stretch or slice it was simply a perfectly placed downward header into the far corner of his own net. Truly incredible.

Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 I'm going to suggest Coleman from the weekend. Rather then a fumbling stretch or slice it was simply a perfectly placed downward header into the far corner of his own net. Truly incredible. I preferred Alcarazs goal - proof that the diving header goal hasn't died out just yet.
Chorlton Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Palace scored a great one at The Dell in about 1990/1. Can't remember who took kick off, or if Saints even touched the ball, but the ball ended up with Richard Shaw (I think) in the left back position who passed it back to the keeper. Sadly, the keeper wasn't where he thought it was and we were 1-0 up in under 20 seconds. Still lost though. Not sure if there is footage, but a skate mate tells me of them playing at Plough Lane, conceding a goal, kicking off again and passing it back to Alan Knight who was bent down doing his shoe laces and the ball trundled in. That must have been great to watch.
saint si Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Franny Benali near post diving header - absolute bullet!
alpine_saint Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Franny Benali near post diving header - absolute bullet! This one. Was against Oldham, I think. Wouldnt have been able to do that at the other end in a million years.
redkeith Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Kevin Bond curled one into the top corner past John Burridge in a 4.1 win over Arsenal. Most people just remember the Shearer hat-trick on his full debut .
Toomer Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Le Tiss against UTD the daisy cutter that went through Masimos legs.
ericb Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Franny Benali near post diving header - absolute bullet! That was the first that jumped to my mind, followed by Tommy Widdrington scoring one off his arse in the mid 90s infront of the Milton road end. Can't remember who that was against but Tommy Widdrington and the black nipper who used to be a waiter in bournemouth were playing so that must narrow it down.
Gemmel Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Not for Saints - But an ex Saint has my favourite ever own goal. Step up Iain Dowie...... Completely forgot he was defending and attacked the header and buried it :) :)
Fowllyd Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Donachie never played for Rangers. In fact he never played for any Scottish club side. You are thinking of Colin Jackson and it was a great OG. Bloody hell, that's well remembered! Don't know why on earth I had Donachie in mind. It was a cracker though.
Lighthouse Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Not for Saints - But an ex Saint has my favourite ever own goal. Step up Iain Dowie...... Completely forgot he was defending and attacked the header and buried it :) :) Didn't Rasiak do something similar in a cup tie against The Posh once?
Fowllyd Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Not for Saints - But an ex Saint has my favourite ever own goal. Step up Iain Dowie...... Completely forgot he was defending and attacked the header and buried it :) :) Superb - hadn't seen that before.
Saint_Tony Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Wasn't there one at Derby? Beattie hoofed the ball way up in the air, Paul Jones misjudged it and it dropped it in off the bar? Only goal of the game if I remember
dronskisaint Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Way back when I seem to remember Channon scoring a hat-trick, 2 for us and an o.g....wasn't there but remember reading it in Shoot, probably, as the seasons' strangest treble - anyone help..late sixties I think.
fborosaint Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 I think Lambert's at Leicester in the Championship was a strange one, especially as it was a blatant foul.
Maggie May Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 I believe legendary centre back scored two in two games. The one that came off his ar5e is a personal favourite.
Wurzel Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Wasn't there one at Derby? Beattie hoofed the ball way up in the air, Paul Jones misjudged it and it dropped it in off the bar? Only goal of the game if I remember That's the one that fits the "weirdest" criteria in the title for me. You do it an injustice though. I went for a dump as he "cleared" it, it went so high I was back again before the ball dropped over the line.
Ade Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Didn't Chris Nicholl score all 4 in a 2 - 2 draw. Not sure if it was when playing for us or not.....getting old and senile and can't remember
Kenilworthy Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Denis Hollywood v Leeds home in 70-71 season. He stops the ball on the goal line and trys his party piece of rolling it along the line to Eric Martin. It goes the wrong side of the line and into goal. From holding our own in the game we went on to lose 3-0. Its on the Match of the Day compilation video. Channon's hat-trick was against Everton at the Dell in 69-70. They were champions and it was one of only 6 games we won that season. Eric Martin had been concussed in a collision, which explains the own goal when Channon tried to pass back to him.
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 That was the first that jumped to my mind, followed by Tommy Widdrington scoring one off his arse in the mid 90s infront of the Milton road end. Can't remember who that was against but Tommy Widdrington and the black nipper who used to be a waiter in bournemouth were playing so that must narrow it down. Frankie Bennett?

That's the one - I'd just gone away from home to a MN training place and was gutted not to be able to go to matches
david in sweden Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Gareth Barry passing into his own net last year Yes Hatch, I enjoyed that one too, England star midfielder?.... not to mention England 's first choice keeper ... :scared:oops.
david in sweden Posted 30 April, 2014 Posted 30 April, 2014 Didn't Chris Nicholl score all 4 in a 2 - 2 draw. Not sure if it was when playing for us or not.....getting old and senile and can't remember yes, but it was whilst he was still at Aston Villa. I think he also made the Guiness Book of Records with that one....or should I say ....FOUR:blush:
kwsaint Posted 3 May, 2014 Author Posted 3 May, 2014 Bloody hell, that's well remembered! Don't know why on earth I had Donachie in mind. It was a cracker though. Agreed. I was sitting in the East Stand (Milton end) for that game. It was quite a long way out and went straight over the keeper's head. Also remember lots of very drunk Scotsman in the ground
