Dean Saunders freak goal

[FMBlade1]

Just came across it whilst going through videos at work, it was a bit before my time, anyone remember much?

3 mins 34 seconds in

Still the freakiest goal I’ve seen. I was on media duty that day and spoke to Saunders after the game. He joked the keeper’s backside was so big he couldn’t miss it.

You won’t see another like it.

It’s banned.

I was at the game on the kop for the Saunders goal, couldn't believe what I was seeing, celebrated well, but otherwise it was a boring forgettable game.

 

[Pedro Verde]

Not exactly a freak goal Saunders knew exactly what he was doing

 

[Stretch]

To this day I can't believe how clever Saunders was, talk about presence of mind. Great finish as well.

Interesting, so you aren't allowed to deliberately throw the ball at an opponent for a deflection from a throw in?

Strange if so really, especially considering players kick/smash the ball against eachother when they are trying to win a corner often

 

[Roygbiv]

Not a freak goal for me. All down to the quick thinking of Saunders. I bet thousands of players have had a similar opportunity to throw the ball at the arse of a goalkeeper but didn't think to do it

 

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Certainly not a freak goal. Saunders new exactly what he was doing and clearly had a good grasp of the laws of the game.

I was stood more or less behind him on the terrace when he did it and it took me a couple of seconds to understand what he had done.

Simply the best game and goal I've ever seen. At 4:29 from Paddy Kenny's kick to Peschisolido taking 9 touches to score:

Not a freak goal. This sort of move happens regularly in basketball.

 

[Brian Blessed]

Not freaky, highly unusual yes but it was genius

 

[Liverpool blade]

I remember the goal well.
It wasn't freaky. Saunders saw the opportunity and took his goal well. The keeper probably felt a bit of a twat afterwards. I've not seen players try it since?. Utb

Is that true? I find it hard to believe simply because ‘deliberate’ could be very subjective.

Saw it from the Kop and still my favourite goal of all time. What it doesn't show is that the Port Vale goalie was trying to kick it into Row Z and failed. There was no-one else within 30 yards so he couldn't throw it to a team mate. He even slowed down tempting the goalie to run off. And then to score from that position - wonderful.

 

[Silent Blade]

I was sat near the front of John Street stand that day. Dellas flicked a pass from the halfway line and at first Saunders thought it was a fluffed pass that was going out of play, he showed despair on his face and dropped his shoulders, but then quickly realised that Dellas had spun the ball using the outside of his right foot and the ball was still in play. Saunders made a recovert to chase after the ball but Musselwhite (the keeper) got to the ball first and now you see the rest

 

[maidmarion]

Yep I saw it. Couldn't quite believe what we had seen......but a goal is a goal and we celebrated accordingly

 

[I should coco]

Next instinctive 'clever striker's goal at the Lane, would be Cresswell at the Kop end. A classic 'It's behind you' goal.

He'd run off the pitch but ran back on as the keeper rolled the ball. He kicked it clear and rolled it in. Even just a mere 5 years on, most miserable bastard refs would be straining to give a foul.

Cresswell, certainly not the most talented forward I've seen, but bloody hell, fair play to him for running those trotters off.

Wrong thread?

 

[Damski]

One of the finest banter goals of all time.

Was sat right behind him 2 rows back classic

I had been on a break prior to this game due to finances, and this was my first game back, got ticks for bramall lane upper and had a season ticket ever since, thanks deano!

 

[Trigger Blade]

I seem to recall reading about a rule change after the Deano goal, to stop such a thing happening again, something along the lines of unsporting behaviour?

 

[designblade]

I put together a poster design for this goal ages ago, don't think I ever posted it.

 

[Houston_Blade]

Great goal, probably the cleverest I’ve seen. It was made “unsporting behaviour” or “ungentlemanly conduct” at the end of that season I think.

Mentioned this a few times on here but here I go again
As the ball went out of play my mate and me had this conversation
Kev - "Throw it off the keeper!!"
Me - "Shut up Kev as thought he'd do th........YEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!"
