Can't remember one recently myself but can anyone tell me who was the last united player to score when clean through on the keeper.

Remember seeing no end of players club it straight into the keepers legs
 

sharp against someone, cannot remember who it was but its on the big screen at home games - i think it could have been QPR. All i know is it was at the brammall lane end and it was a pass by Speed with the outside of his left foot.

think the best blades exponent in a 1 to 1 situation over the last 20 years has to be Jan Aage. That man was coooooooooool when it came to finishing.

Curiously, it was QPR last year...
 
I think Sharp scored 3 out of 3 at home to QPR but one was ruled offside.It might have been 2) It was shown to be onside by the replays.
 
did Jack Lester once stroll round the keeper and calmly roll it into the empty net? Might have been dreaming

PS. any spelling/grammer mistakes in the above passage (and including this bit) were done completely and uterly on purpose :p

What has certainly become more common in the past few years is that strikers when confronted with a 1-on-1 chance will nowadays rarely attempt to go round the keeper.

I don`t quite understand this thinking, as surely if you attempt to go round the keeper there is a chance of being brought down and a penalty, as well as the possibility of scoring.

Although if you do this...

whoops
 
Danny Webber against Wig....arse!

He got a 'perfect' hat trick that day. All legal goals and all stood in a 3-0 win,
 
I'm sure he had a 1 on 1 ruled out as well though. It was my last game before emigrating and i came away thinking he was a world beater. His left footed tap in and header were in front of the kop.

I don't recall a goal being ruled offside that game, the right footed one was at the Lane end, with a perfect pass from Speed.

The header was also at the Lane end - not the Kop

Edit: Just checked the match report, no mention of an offside goal from Sharp

...of course the master of the 1-on-1 was Keith Edwards. Must've seen dozens go in, to the point where you were almost celebrating as he approached the keeper.

Quite. In fact, he was so reliable in this situation that I vividly remember being amazed during the draw against Wolves in January 1985 when he went one on one with a teenaged Tim Flowers and Flowers took the ball off him as Edwards tried to go round him. That simply didn't happen as far as I was concerned.

As for recent 1 on 1 goals, Nathan Dyer got one last season against Palace. Coolly done as well. Thw Webber one Brownie mentions was more recent though.

Edwards must have gone through a bit of a phase in missing one on ones in 1985 as I recall him missing one late on v Charlton in the 1-1 draw on 1/10/85 and thinking "bloody hell not again".
