Scoring Against Saints

Austin put a few past us for Swindon in League 1, then against us for Burnley in the Championship (assisted by a certain Jay Rodriguez) and then again for QPR last year when Pellè scored the overhead belter.

 

As anyone else scored against us for 3 different clubs?

Tough one. Peter Crouch? Just a thought...

Cureton and Iwelumo two teams only, but both definite thorns in our side, Patrick Agyemang also.

 

Cureton scored 5 goals in three consecutive games against Saints, with us losing all three.

 

Iwelumo never scored against us for Colchester, but netted decisive goals against us for Wolves and more sickeningly, Charlton, in the last minute of the game.

 

Agyemang scored 5 goals versus Saints in a four game spell and in the one game in that spell which he didn't net, he instead provided an assist for Lewis Neal to score a 90th minute winner against us for Preston.

 

B@st@rds.

 

While I was double-checking whether Iwelumo had scored against us for Colchester it came to my attention that until we most recently beat Colchester 2-0 (Ox and Hammond), we had actually gone 7 games prior to that without winning - Colchester managing 3 draws and a win in 4 league visits to St Marys.

 

I remember fondly celebrating a Viafara goal on boxing day stood on the terrace at Layer Road [1-1], and not so fondly visiting their new Lego type stadium on a very foggy day also in December which we lost 2-1 and could barely even see Lambert net a penalty even though it was at the end that the away fans were located.

The goal Austin scored against us for QPR was a great goal. Probably the best goal on the eye I've ever seen against Saints. I've been watching Saints (going to the actual games) for roughly 20 years. This is completely subjective. The beauty of a goal is in the eye of the beholder. I don't enjoy watching goals against Saints, but on this goal I was sat there thinking 'wow what a goal, what a well-taken goal' when I was at the ground. That never tends to happen when I follow Saints.

A player who used to play for Watford in the championship. (darius henderson???) seemed to always score against us

 

 

 

Great shout, another player that scored against us for two different sides Watford and Millwall. Also got sent off against us for Sheffield United.

 

Scored 6 in four consecutive games against us for Watford and then later 1 for Milwall in the cup.

 

If I remember rightly the 3-0 away to Watford was Burley's first game as boss and he played Mills and Cranie and looked totally out of their depth against Henderson.

 

I was at Vicarage Road when we were 2-1 up with ten mins to play and he scored twice to make it 3-2, sickening.

I'd be surprised if Frank Worthington didn't manage it.

 

I saw him score for Birminghanm against us, so that leaves Bolton (probably), Leicester, & Huddersfield.

 

Dib Dublin for Man Utd (rarity), & Villa. Did he score for Coventry also ?

Yes in the first minute of the game in 94/95 that Grobelaar didn't throw as we won 3-1

 

Seems scoring for three clubs against us is not that unknown. But as was said earlier, Austin did it in three divisions, which no one else has done. Now we need to find a player that has done it for four clubs.

Ashley Ward. Norwich, Derby, Barnsley, and Blackburn.

 

Yes that's a very good call. I couldn't remember the goal for Derby against us even though I was there. A great example of a rubbish player who was deadly against Saints. Signed by Norwich to keep them up = relegation, Signed by Barnsley to keep them up = relegation, Signed by Blackburn to keep them up = relegation, Signed by Bradford to keep them up = relegation - nearly as much of a Jonah as Dean Saunders.

How's Marcus Bent doing in this equation? Players with lots of teams are going to have a better chance, and it's not like anyone's going to forget the killer for Everton in the relegation season.

 

EDIT: Ha, that was his only goal against us, despite him playing for 15 teams and about 10 of them being in the same division as Saints. Well, there goes that theory.

That helmet David Nugent has to be in or around this statistic?

 

Only...

For Preston in a 3-1 win against us in March 2007

For Leicester in a 2-0 win in Jan 2012.

 

He didn't play in the FA Cup game for the Skates, and he was at Leicester when we played them in 2011.

How about Kevin Phillips? :)

 

Scored against us for Sunderland twice at Stadium of Light in the Prem in Dec 99 (and again in the return game at St Mary's April 2000)

Didn't score any own goals in 2003-05(!)

Scored for West Brom in Feb 2007 in a 1-1 draw at the Hawthorns in Championship

Scored for Birmingham in Championship in 2-1 defeat in August 2008 at St Mary's in Championship

 

Somehow didn't score for the likes of Leicester, Blackpool or Palace against us though - but 3 teams, 2 divisions, 5 goals.

Paul Goddard always scored against us!!

 

QPR, WHU inc HT in 81, Newcastle, Derby and Ipswich. At least 9 goals in total against us between 1980 - 94 with 5 different clubs .... surely the winner!!

Another who stands out was Gary Speed (RIP) always seemed to score against us.

 

Leeds, Everton (inc a hat trick) and Newcastle.

 

Another who stands out was .
