doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Ok trying to avoid the general Meh of our current season and looking at something a little more light hearted I was thinking about players who came to saints and managed one moment of brilliance before fading away into obscurity. My first thought was Tadanari Lee an absolute belter of a first goal which was literally the high point (pretty much the only point to be fair) of his saints career https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZKlAbyEXiY I'm sure there must be others.
miserableoldgit Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Didn`t Tommy Jenkins only score one goal for us? League Cup semi against Leeds in 1979 if I remember correctly.
a1ex2001 Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 (edited) Delgado? Even if it was probably an own goal? https://youtu.be/GFlPFM4M_4I Edited 5 February, 2017 by a1ex2001
Disco Stu Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Tadanari Lee set up Rickie Lambert on the volley at the legendary 1-0 win at Leeds.
The Cat Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 I've mentioned it before but Jordan Robertson's goal against Norwich at St Mary's was a stunner. I'm pretty sure it was his only goal for us during his loan spell. I've searched online but never been able to find it.
bunterboy99 Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Tadanari Lee set up Rickie Lambert on the volley at the legendary 1-0 win at Leeds. There's a great section on one goal wonders in the Matt and Franny 100 Great Goals DVD. Franny is in there of course! Others include Mark Draper - cant remember any of the others but there were about 10 of them. Tadanari Lee scored in the League Cup too I think, so technically not a one goal wonder...
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Author Posted 5 February, 2017 Tadanari Lee set up Rickie Lambert on the volley at the legendary 1-0 win at Leeds. Well remembered
DuncanRG Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 I'll always remember that Osvaldo goal. I know it wasn't his only one but can anyone honestly remember the others?

Don't remember it but you could be right.
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Author Posted 5 February, 2017 Wayne Thomas only scored one for saints absolute worldie the one he did score though
Disco Stu Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Jonathan Forte was a one game wonder if that counts. Two vital goals in our comeback against MK Dons.
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Author Posted 5 February, 2017 I'll always remember that Osvaldo goal. I know it wasn't his only one but can anyone honestly remember the others? it was an amazing goal shame he was such a tit
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Author Posted 5 February, 2017 Martina he still has time to get another you watch 90+4 in the cup final Martina to score the winner....
doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Author Posted 5 February, 2017 Jonathan Forte was a one game wonder if that counts. Two vital goals in our comeback against MK Dons. One of my favourite saints games the celebrations when those goals went in was epic.
kpturner Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Didn`t Tommy Jenkins only score one goal for us? League Cup semi against Leeds in 1979 if I remember correctly.I have never heard Terry Curran being referred to as Tommy Jenkins before
sandwichsaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Lloyd James' completely out-of-character 20 yd screamer away mid-week at Brentford, same game as Kelvin had a sensational evening in goal. And all in front of a packed away support on the terraces. For all those worrying about the R word a reminder that there is plenty of life and football beyond the PL. (Unfortunately for the purposes of this thread wiki also records him as scoring a second goal against Exeter, I also saw that but it's not one that sticks in the memory).

a1ex2001 Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 (edited) Steve Basham scored one for us I thought we might really have found a player he had a decent career but never hit the heights! Oddly Stuart Ripley only scored the one as well shame he turned out to be totally past it when we signed him I remember being vaguely excited by his arrival! Edited 5 February, 2017 by a1ex2001
Hamilton Saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV9xhNYSNeo
St Lej Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Paul Tisdale scored just the one away at Man City the year they went down under Alan Ball. Was the same game Kinkladze walked through our entire midfield and back 4 to score. Also, I'm sure Mark Hughes just scored the 1 for us, in that awesome Newcastle 4-2 win when we scored 4 in about 10 min in the 2nd half?
Hamilton Saint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Jermaine Wright scored once for us. Forget the game.
St Lej Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Jermaine Wright scored once for us. Forget the game. 2-1 defeat at home to QPR in 2006 by looks of it. Game where Kelvin tried to shepherd the ball out for goal kick and got robbed on the byline for them to walk it in! Also, didn't realise that Jermaine Wright is Ian Wright's cousin
Give it to Ron Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 2-1 defeat at home to QPR in 2006 by looks of it. Game where Kelvin tried to shepherd the ball out for goal kick and got robbed on the byline for them to walk it in! Also, didn't realise that Jermaine Wright is Ian Wright's cousin I think the goal was scored by the QPR lad that got killed in a car crash Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Hyde and Seek Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Steve Basham scored his only goal at Blackburn back in 1998. I remember as I was there. It was the last game that Woy Hodgson was in charge for Blackburn. Happy Days.
teamsaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Stuart McManus, on his debut at QPR. I was there, midweek league game, 1986. we won 2-0.
Badger Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Didn't we have a young midfield player, Paul Hughes who scored either on his debut or after only a couple of games, possibly when Alan Ball was our manager ? Then injured and disappeared.
VectisSaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Posted 5 February, 2017 Delgado? Even if it was probably an own goal? https://youtu.be/GFlPFM4M_4I Delgado scored twice for Saints (as did Lee).
Kingsland Codger Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Thomas Pekhart (who?) scored for us in our Championship relegation season - can't recall who is was against ... Barnsley? Southend? Ipswich?
ericofarabia Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Scott Marshall only played 2 games for us and scored in each of them ..... unfortunately both were own goals
Lets B Avenue Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Lloyd James' completely out-of-character 20 yd screamer away mid-week at Brentford, same game as Kelvin had a sensational evening in goal. And all in front of a packed away support on the terraces. For all those worrying about the R word a reminder that there is plenty of life and football beyond the PL. (Unfortunately for the purposes of this thread wiki also records him as scoring a second goal against Exeter, I also saw that but it's not one that sticks in the memory). He has joined the Ex-Saints Club at Exeter and seems to have replaced Oakley in midfield. Scored a decent 20 yarder on Saturday, but the celebration was as bad as his hairstyle.
stpedro Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Didn't we have a young midfield player, Paul Hughes who scored either on his debut or after only a couple of games, possibly when Alan Ball was our manager ? Then injured and disappeared. Was that David Hughes?
stknowle Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Was that David Hughes? Yes, he scored a couple IIRC and he set up MLT's "other" goal in the game against Blackburn when he scored that goal. Again if IIRC Paul Hughes, an ex-Chelsea player, was on our books at one point but I don't think he ever played.
teamsaint Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 David Hughes scored a couple of crackers. A scissor kick type goal at QPR, and a low drive at home against Man Utd.( in consecutive matches). Anyway, I think Stuart Gray was another OGW, that goal at OT in the cup.

Saint_Tony Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Jan-Paul Saeijs, scored 2 for us against Watford away in the Championshio. One was a free kick from some distance Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
JackFrost Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Scott Marshall only played 2 games for us and scored in each of them ..... unfortunately both were own goals The one against Leeds literally went in off his arse
a1ex2001 Posted 6 February, 2017 Posted 6 February, 2017 Delgado scored twice for Saints (as did Lee). So he did no recollection of him scoring in the league cup was it as dubious as his goal against Arsenal!
doddisalegend Posted 6 February, 2017 Author Posted 6 February, 2017 Eljero Elia was another one game wonder. God I forgot about him Newcastle away wasn't it? total crap after that. Funnily enough someone made a youtube video of his skills and goals in a saints shirt, complete with crap dance music, that features 3 minutes of two goals and practical no skills
The9 Posted 8 February, 2017 Posted 8 February, 2017 Jermaine Wright scored once for us. Forget the game. 2-1 defeat at home to QPR in 2006 by looks of it. Game where Kelvin tried to shepherd the ball out for goal kick and got robbed on the byline for them to walk it in! Also, didn't realise that Jermaine Wright is Ian Wright's cousin I think the goal was scored by the QPR lad that got killed in a car crash Literally the only Saints goal I've ever missed due to being late for kick off as well. And yes, Ray Jones scored for QPR (one of his 5 career goals) in that match on 30 September 2006 and died in August 2007 aged 19. The Wayne Thomas, Cuco Martina and Paul Telfer goals were the ones that came to mind for me.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 8 February, 2017 Posted 8 February, 2017 Did Craig Maskell score another one after Liverpool in February 1994? Franny only scored one goal for us.
Causer Posted 8 February, 2017 Posted 8 February, 2017 Lloyd James' completely out-of-character 20 yd screamer away mid-week at Brentford, same game as Kelvin had a sensational evening in goal. And all in front of a packed away support on the terraces. For all those worrying about the R word a reminder that there is plenty of life and football beyond the PL. (Unfortunately for the purposes of this thread wiki also records him as scoring a second goal against Exeter, I also saw that but it's not one that sticks in the memory). Lloyd scored a cracking goal for Exeter at the weekend.
benjii Posted 8 February, 2017 Posted 8 February, 2017 David Hughes could have been a pretty decent player but was absolutely plagued by injuries. Shame. Frankie Bennett.
