paulwantsapint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Simply for the unexpected wonder goal scorers (not Matt Le Tissier) Wayne Thomas Jason Dodd v skates Cuco Martina v Arsenal Chris Marsden v Ipswich Rory Delap v Spurs Yan Valery v Man United Must be loads of others
benjii Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Some chap for Barnsley against us with two free kicks.
skintsaint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Kevin Davies v Everton (yes a striker but he rarely scored!) Oakley v Pompey
John Boy Saint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Chris Baird free kick. If that’s the one v Cardiff - then I don’t think I have seen a ball hit with such ferocity - that said my memory might be peaked by the fact that it looked like we had made a complete hash of the free kick - until Baird lit the fuse. I quite liked Matty Targetts goal against Bournemouth that was a perfectly executed header.
ericb Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Only really one answer to this. Step forward Barry Horne.
Stud mark of doom Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 That Moroccan midfielder who we are still paying.
Nordic Saint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 That Moroccan midfielder who we are still paying. Yep. Boufal v Sunderland. One of the best goals ever scored at St Mary's was the only highlight of one of the dullest games ever played there.
Nordic Saint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Yep. Boufal v Sunderland. One of the best goals ever scored at St Mary's was the only highlight of one of the dullest games ever played there. His goal v West Brom was special too. He only ever scored 3 league goals and 1 league cup goal for us in 50 games and yet won 2 Goal of the Season awards. That has to be a record.
Saints foreva Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 I was at the back of Block 39 in the Kingsland North for that Martina goal, the perfect view of the swerve. I won't see a better goal from distance imo.
benjii Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Only really one answer to this. Step forward Barry Horne. Ridiculous goal. Swerved in three different directions at once!

I quite liked Matty Targetts goal against Bournemouth that was a perfectly executed header.I was sat behind the goal for that one. It was hit so hard that I instinctively tried to duck out of the way of it, despite the net being there! Absolute thunder-b*****d of a shot! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Micky Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Franny Benali, surely should be top of that list. Sent from my SM-T590 using Tapatalk
Stud mark of doom Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Only really one answer to this. Step forward Barry Horne. Surely we should exclude players for which it wasn’t even their only goal in that match!
davefoggy Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Osvaldo vs City Still the best goal i have seen Saints score at St Marys
Golac's Iron Gonads Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Another for rhe Golac against West Brom Eat that!
Toadhall Saint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Another for rhe Golac against West Brom Eat that! Boom - was there that day! Loved Ivan
ericb Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Ridiculous goal. Swerved in three different directions at once! And half the Milton came pouring back in! Surely we should exclude players for which it wasn’t even their only goal in that match! Only six goals in his entire career at Saints in over 100 games though means he definitely counts as "didn't score often"
Monk Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Jordan Robertson anyone? Beat me to it, the loannee from Sheffield United
Nordic Saint Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 And half the Milton came pouring back in! Only six goals in his entire career at Saints in over 100 games though means he definitely counts as "didn't score often" A similar ratio to Boufal, who scored 3 league goals and 1 league cup goal, 2 of which were among the best goals ever scored at St Mary's, in his 56 games for us. I agree that Cuco Martina should also be in that elite group but was his wonder goal a fluke? Did he just take a swing at the ball and hit lucky? Because he never showed in any other game in his career that he had the skill in his locker to do that deliberately.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 6 July, 2019 Posted 6 July, 2019 Golac right wing v WBA. Screamer! Ii remember that so well. Funny how many goals I have seen and that one sprung to mind as well! I would say Telfers goal against Newcastle as well.
OttawaSaint Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I remember a couple of Derek Statham thunderbolts. Saints had an elaborate free kick routine at the time that involved 3 passes before laying off to an o rushing Statham.
Red Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 Hugh Fisher - my first Saints game and but for him we would not have had our greatest fam. From wiki: His greatest moment in a Southampton shirt came in the 1975–76 season. The Saints were having a mediocre season in Division 2, but on 3 January 1976, in an F.A. Cup third round match at the Dell, Saints were 1–0 down against Aston Villa when, in the 89th minute of the game, the ball was crossed into the area by David Peach. The ball was touched on by Pat Earles to Mick Channon and back to Fisher, who shot the ball into the goal through a crowd of defenders. This goal, Fisher's first for 16 months, kept his side in the competition
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I can't believe no-one has said it yet! David Hughes scissor kick against QPR around Christmas time in the mid-90s. I remember thinking we'd produced a decent player, but injuries killed his career.
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 Found this thread: https://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?57973-One-goal-wonders Tadanari Lee's goal was also a goodun.
Stud mark of doom Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 How about Schteve De Ridder away at Reading
Sheaf Saint Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have a vague recollection of Jimmy Case scoring an absolute belter from distance once, but couldn't tell you who it was against. Would have been 89/90 season I think.
Saint Billy Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have this vague memory of Mat Oakley scoring a screamer, of course it could be that the dementia is getting worse.
Suhari Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have this vague memory of Mat Oakley scoring a screamer, of course it could be that the dementia is getting worse. Didn't he score two from outside the area in a cup replay against Millwall? Not screamers but both decent, and valuable.
Stud mark of doom Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have a vague recollection of Jimmy Case scoring an absolute belter from distance once, but couldn't tell you who it was against. Would have been 89/90 season I think. He scored a corker from miles out in a pre season friendly at the dell against a Russian side - Dniper I think - to make it 3-3 after we’d been 3 down. Vaguely recall a good one from closer in for us at Anfield too.
OttawaSaint Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have a vague recollection of Jimmy Case scoring an absolute belter from distance once, but couldn't tell you who it was against. Would have been 89/90 season I think. I lived oop north and saw him score a screamer atScarborough in the league cup. Could that be it?
OttawaSaint Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 Magilton score a beauty at the city ground vs Forest. Mickey Evans saved us from relegation.
Saint Billy Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 Didn't he score two from outside the area in a cup replay against Millwall? Not screamers but both decent, and valuable. Maybe, but somehow I have it in my mind that it was at home and a screamer.
Dark Munster Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 A similar ratio to Boufal, who scored 3 league goals and 1 league cup goal, 2 of which were among the best goals ever scored at St Mary's, in his 56 games for us.

Because he never showed in any other game in his career that he had the skill in his locker to do that deliberately. I think great goals by players who rarely score are all flukes by definition! In stark contrast to the many beauties by MLT.
RedWillie Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 Rory Delap overhead scissor kick v Spurs at St Mary's to win it I think. Cant remember exact date.
Badger Posted 7 July, 2019 Posted 7 July, 2019 I have this vague memory of Mat Oakley scoring a screamer, of course it could be that the dementia is getting worse. Skates at home in the cup when we beat them 2-1. (Last minute penalty match).
