Arizona Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 What's the best XI we could have put out from players that never scored for us? Obviously you could take your pick from any 'keeper but beyond that it's tricky. Not going to be any legends in this lot. So far I can think of: GK: ... RB: Ostlund CB: F. Hall CB: A. Davies RM: Hammill DM: Safri AM: Gillett Surely there are some better players.
rpb Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 I think that Hall scored two goals against Bolton in the cup. Didn't Gillet score against Blackburn and newcastle?
Arizona Posted 30 March, 2009 Author Posted 30 March, 2009 I think that Hall scored two goals against Bolton in the cup. Didn't Gillet score against Blackburn and newcastle? One Size? He was only here a year and I don't remember him scoring in it. I could be wrong though. And you are thinking of Griffit, not Gillett. Edit: Sorry, just realised you must be thinking of Richard. My bad, changed the OP.
Ponty Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Surely there won't be many strikers who never scored... Ali Dia?
rpb Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 you're right, I was thinking of Richard and did mix up Griffet and Gillett - I'm not having a very good day!

sidthesquid Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Here's a squad of 16 - some may have performed better for other teams than us (& only never scored a league goal - cant be Rsed to go through cup games) GK - Peter Shilton (for scoring against us), RB Gerry Forrest, LB John Beresford, CBs Andrew Davies & Reuben Agboola, RM - David Speedie LM - Neil McCann CM - Terry Hurlock & Peter Reid, Forwards - Scott MacDonald & Uwe Rosler, Subs - Scott Hiley, Garry Monk,Terry Cuuran & Danny Guthrie

Saint_clark Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 There are tons just from recent years. Kamil Kosowski, Jim Brennan, Marcelo Sarmiento, Marcelo Tejera, Ian Pearce, Chris Lucketti, Olivier Bernard, Calum Davenport, Andreas Jakobssen, Mikael Nilsson, Alaeddine Yahia, Matt Mills, Martin Cranie.
sidthesquid Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Did marcus hall score for us He never actually played a game for us. Likewise Tejera & Yahia, & Sarmiento never made it past the League Cup
Saint_clark Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 He never actually played a game for us. Likewise Tejera & Yahia, & Sarmiento never made it past the League Cup You can't change the rules half way through

There are tons just from recent years. Kamil Kosowski, Jim Brennan, Marcelo Sarmiento, Marcelo Tejera, Ian Pearce, Chris Lucketti, Olivier Bernard, Calum Davenport, Andreas Jakobssen, Mikael Nilsson, Alaeddine Yahia, Matt Mills, Martin Cranie. Both scored. Jackobsson got a couple. Away to Boro and one against either WBA or Palace at home.

SNSUN Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Barry Venison And yet in CM96-97 he was a reliable goal source. ;-)
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 He got one in LC I think. Neil McCann scored away at Northampton or Rotherham. I was there but it's all becoming a blur now...
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 The two week international break is really too long!
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 He never actually played a game for us. Likewise Tejera & Yahia, & Sarmiento never made it past the League Cup I seem to remember Sarmiento coming on as a sub away at Torquay in the FA Cup 3rd round.
Whitey Grandad Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 The two week international break is really too long! Yeah, and it's only Monday!
Tamesaint Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Didn't Terry Curran score in the Semi-Final of the league cup in 79? Yes he did - against Leeds. That goal got us to Wembley.
SaintJimbo Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Didnt Rosler score last ever goal at Dell v Brighton? or dont that count .....
Appy Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Didnt Rosler score last ever goal at Dell v Brighton? or dont that count ..... He scored in a league cup tie. May of been bristol city?
hamster Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 If we're NOt countng cup games, then jamie Redknapp could be added to the list.
Bad Wolf Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 If we're NOt countng cup games, then jamie Redknapp could be added to the list. He scored in the 4-3 game against Norwich
Deano6 Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Uwe Rosler and Mark Hughes were two that immediately sprang to my mind... Uwe scored in both last 'competitive' match at The Dell, though it was a friendly*, and the first at SMS, a friendly v Lazio (?) where we lost 3-2. I'm not sure he ever scored in a 'proper' competitive match. Hughes scored that 'goal' which didn't count when it rebounded out off the advertising boards at Leeds. I don't remember him ever scoring (he did hit the bar with an overhead kick from outside the area once) and soon got moved to def mid where he got booked every game - tho he may have got one or two I've forgotten about. *As opposed to Dodd's testimonial where Robbie Jackson from Eastenders scored the last goal at the Dell

Saint Bones Posted 30 March, 2009 Posted 30 March, 2009 Franny so nearly made it to the list. That was my first thought too.... Now I gotta find out when he scored for us. :smt017 As Per Wiki - "His only FA Premier League goal came on 13 December 1997 with a header from a Matthew Le Tissier free-kick against Leicester City at The Dell."
Appy Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 He scored in the 4-3 game against Norwich That was Oakley, Crouch, Le Saux and Camara.
KK the 2nd Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 How about Peter Shilton in goal - didn't he score against us? Yes he did! It was a long time ago but I remember it was when he was at Leicester. It was a wet and windy afternoon at the Dell and we lost 5-1 I think. It was a drop kick from his own penalty area that bounced over our keepers head (McClaren or Forsyth - I can't remember) and into the net. Also not sure but I think it might have been their 5th goal and just about capped a miserable day.
Eastcowzer Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 That was my first thought too.... Now I gotta find out when he scored for us. :smt017 As Per Wiki - "His only FA Premier League goal came on 13 December 1997 with a header from a Matthew Le Tissier free-kick against Leicester City at The Dell." Are you sure it was a header. I thought it was a ;centre' from the right touchline, by Benali, that dropped over Casey Keller. Alas memory fades. !
Eastcowzer Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Are you sure it was a header. I thought it was a ;centre' from the right touchline, by Benali, that dropped over Casey Keller. Alas memory fades. ! Correction: left touchline. Cant tell left from right
dubai_phil Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 If you could include players who hit the bar/post but didn't score then Niemi gets in....
sfc6mufc3 Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Mark Hughes holds quite a unique record for us. He must be the only forward to have got more yellow cards than goals - quite something for a forward.
treggs23 Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Hughes got just the one goal, at the Dell. Yep, against Blackburn in a 3-3 draw
Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Are you sure it was a header. I thought it was a ;centre' from the right touchline, by Benali, that dropped over Casey Keller. Alas memory fades. ! I wasn't even there and I know that it was a header V Leicester, surely it's one of the things that every Saints fan should know?
Berkshire Saint Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Yep, against Blackburn in a 3-3 draw Got one against Newcastle in a 4-2 win as well.
BLINK Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Yep, against Blackburn in a 3-3 draw and a screamer vs Newcastle. . .
Eastcowzer Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 I wasn't even there and I know that it was a header V Leicester, surely it's one of the things that every Saints fan should know? Thanks for gee-ing my memory. Senility setting in
bungle Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 We must have another RB that didn't score? Any of them (even if they only played for 5 minutes) would be better than Ostlund.

Lets B Avenue Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Yes he did! It was a long time ago but I remember it was when he was at Leicester. It was a wet and windy afternoon at the Dell and we lost 5-1 I think. It was a drop kick from his own penalty area that bounced over our keepers head (McClaren or Forsyth - I can't remember) and into the net. Also not sure but I think it might have been their 5th goal and just about capped a miserable day. I was 8 and was drenched behind Archers goal with my Dad when Leicester went 3-1 up with 5 to go. As the footy special buses that used to park at the bottom of Northlands Rd had a nasty habit of leaving before the final whistle, we legged it early. As we later got off the bus in Swaythling, we met our neighbour who laughed about a 5-1 stuffing. We had no idea and when he said the goalie had got the last one I kicked my Dad in the leg for making me miss it. Shilts was only 17 and it was one of his first games for Leicester and no-one here had heard of him! I had to wait for Monday's "Day By Day" to see the goal from that ****y little camera they used to stick on the roof of the West Stand. Campbell Forsyth was in goal, having come back fom a year out with a broken leg. We had sold McLaren that summer having earlier signed Eric Martin. I asked Shilts about it when he was here and he was genuinely embarresed about it and said it had caught a freak gust of wind and then skidded over Forsyth. Also remember that whilst he was (IMHO) our greatest ever keeper, he kicked like a girlie.
treggs23 Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 and a screamer vs Newcastle. . . ah, yes...curse my memory! as for a right-back I can't remember Scott Hiley scoring for us...
Lets B Avenue Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 ah, yes...curse my memory! as for a right-back I can't remember Scott Hiley scoring for us... Neither did the legend that was Steve Baker.
Whitey Grandad Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Are you sure it was a header. I thought it was a ;centre' from the right touchline, by Benali, that dropped over Casey Keller. Alas memory fades. ! This sounds like the goal he scored in his testimonial, but memory does fade.
The Majestic Channon Posted 31 March, 2009 Posted 31 March, 2009 Ray wallace never scored, but he was dog ****e afterall. I'm sure Hughes actually hit the stantion in the goal but had it dissallowed. Mike pickering, played every game ( i think) in our promotion season then left, sure he never scored. Did Barry venison score?
