Scoring against clubs with the same initials

[programmechap]

There was something about that in the Guardian today. Thierry Henry scoring against Tottenham Hotspur etc, which got me thinking if there were any United examples.

The only one I can think of is Che Adams against Crewe Alexandra in March 2016. Any more? And any against us? Did Stanley Unwin stick one in for Bolton in 1923?

There's something in this! I honestly believe Tom Cannon would find his level if he was playing Truro City!

Samir Carruthers vs SC Freiburg. Pre season 2016.

 

[Brian Deane]

Leon Clarke bagged 4 against Lull City, does that count ?

 

[Beans]

Damn, thought I had one. Gareth Taylor scored against Grimsby Town... But while he was at Bury.

Continue the research!

Billy Russell scored away at Bristol Rovers on 11th January 1958 and again on 14th November 1959, before scoring twice at home against them on December 3rd 1960.

Info courtesy of Messrs Clareborough & Kirkham and yes, I’m bored…

If Chris Porter scored against Crystal Palace, I’m on the pitch.

Peter Ndlovu, Preston North (End)?

He did score against them in the cup in Jan 02, but I think the "E" disqualified that

He didnt

Steve Charles, Stoke City/Stockport County?

Nope

He scored at Grimsby for us I think.

 

[DifferentClass]

We ever played Forest Green Rovers?

If so, did Fred Godwin-Roberts score for us?

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Chris Armstrong scored against Charlton Athletic in the 07/08 season.

That 2-5 game where pardew got sacked the next day. It was fucking freezing. We kept taking it in turns to get a bovril, and every time someone went to get one, another goal went in.

 

[Bladepicker]

Did Marcelo ever score against Middlesbrough?

It wasn't that game, he scored when we won 3-0 away at Charlton, unless of course he scored in both

Neill Collins in a 5-2 win at Notts County in March 2012. I was there and we had the full side stand!
