doddisalegend Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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.

The Cat Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunterboy99 Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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...

sandwichsaint Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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 Share 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!

St Lej Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde and Seek Posted 5 February, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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.

stknowle Posted 6 February, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsaint Posted 6 February, 2017 Share 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.

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
