jawillwill Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Off the top of my head, I can think of the following: - Fastest top flight hat-trick (Mane v Villa) - Fastest Premier League (all time top flight?) goal - Long - Biggest home defeat - v Leicester. - All time youngest scorer of a hat-trick? - Shearer v Arsenal - ****test local rivals - Pompey. - Highest proportion of goals scored in a Premier League season by a single player (Beattie). What others are there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerx16 Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 (edited) Are we still the only English team to sign a reigning European Player of the Year. ( Keegan ). Has any other team sold 2 brothers to another team in a single transfer transaction ? ( Ray and Rod Wallace to Leeds ).

Miltonaggro Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Not completely sure if it's a record but in 1981 we had four England captains playing in the same Saints side - Ball, Keegan, Channon and Watson, and in the following year 1982 we had six England captains on the books Ball, Keegan, Channon, Watson, Shilton and Mills, and a future England captain getting games at centre half, Mark Wright. Happy days! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenilworthy Posted 6 April, 2020 Share Posted 6 April, 2020 Pedantically, Shearer holds the record as the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the top flight.

Jimmy_D Posted 7 April, 2020 Share Posted 7 April, 2020 Lambert is the only England player to have scored with his very first touch for England, achieved while he was a Saint. First LED floodlit stadium. Only team to have caused an opponent to change shirt colours at half time. We're the only team to have won by four or more goals in the South Coast Derby. Most likely team for Mark Lawrenson to get his prediction wrong on (probably!) Does anyone have a better top flight penalty record than Le Tissier?

Jimmy_D Posted 7 April, 2020 Share Posted 7 April, 2020 Interesting point, he missed one out of how many ? Lambert though was 100% with Saints. 47/48, although I'm not sure how many of those were cup games. The one he missed was a league game though. There are bound to be a few players on a smaller number of penalties with 100% I'd imagine, but Le Tissier's record was so far above what he'd have been expected to get on average, it was silly.

I remembered that irony when Wenger had a particularly loud outburst about having to play something like 3 in 8. Gennoe fell from grace pretty spectacularly around that time after the LC final, about as quickly as he had risen. He was outstanding after he first got in the team, penalty save at Everton in October, incredible at Reading in the League Cup keeping us in the match were particular highlights. It seemed Lawrie had signed a real gem and that he'd soon be among the top keepers in the league. But his confidence evaporated in the second half collapse v Forest and he didn't recover.
