Unexpected goals / goalscorers

[Ldr]

Following on from the headers thread. How about the most unexpected goals.

I'll start with https://youtu.be/2to6PTBbVQo

[knockers]

Theo Streete
End of the comp!

[Pliskin]

Quinton Fortune. Largely useless for us - except for that time when he bent one into the top bin from 25 yards out against Ipswich.

[Spud]

Leo FW at Hull, turning & smashing one in the top bin from a similar distance. Before the celebrations there was a brief pause while we all just looked at each other & weighed up if it really just happened?

[Branton Rover]

Remember Mike Smith scoring of the back of his heel the keeper tried to punt it clear it hit Smith on the ankle/foot & rebounded into the empty net

[Branton Rover]

Remember a goal scored from Rovers half from a Jack Ashurst free kick - it was the days of a big lump free kick into the opposition area and hope for a flick on etc, however as soon as big Jack hit the free kick skywards a gust of wind took hold of the ball and carried it way over the keepers head into the back of the net at the Rosso End, Belle Vue

[wilts rover]

Micky Norbury. I don't think he had scored all season and then he got a hat-trick at Scunny.

[Scooter]

That Steve Brooker worldie

[chrisd_123]

Copps at Brentford. The most unexpected goal by the most expected goalscorer. That should not have happened but wouldn't have been anyone else either.

Favourite one of these though has to be Graeme Lee at Scunny. Was about his second game I think and he's smashed that volley into the top corner in the last minute.

[NickDRFC]

Elliot Ward’s overhead kick at Wednesday.

[glosterred]

Paul Keegan, any Paul Keegan goal and we’re on the pitch



COYR

[Donnywolf]

Lewis Guy @ Derby ?

[kieranDRFC]

Elliot Ward overhead kick away at Sheffield Wednesday.. Debut goal from a centre half and won't get much better!

[Donnywolf]

That was a hell of a goal.

I remember him heading upfield and thinking "what the hell is he doing there" then wham what a goal. One of those to remember for its quality for sure !

[tommy toes]

The late Rod Johnson at Halifax.
Their keeper kicked the ball out of his hands straight at Rod who stuck his leg out and in it went.
RIP Rod.

[Campsall rover]

Elliot Ward overhead kick away at Sheffield Wednesday.. Debut goal from a centre half and won't get much better!

Great goal. From a centre back as well. How many centre backs have scored that sort of goal.

[Chris Black come back]

Micky Norbury. I don't think he had scored all season and then he got a hat-trick at Scunny.

You are correct there Wilts. He scored twice that season after Scunthorpe, in away defeats at Gillingham and Wigan, but not previously.

As many will remember, a very young David Beckham scored his first professional goal against us, in our 2-2 draw against Preston at Deepdale in March that season.

[IDM]

James husband with a mis-hit cross from the left wing, vs Blackburn (?)

Yates (?) similar vs god knows who at BV mid 80s..

Curtis Main scoring one of the best, if not the best ever goals at the KM vs Bristol City.

Dave Mulligan screamer of a volley at Oakwell in front of the away end 2005/6 - the day two of theirs got red cards for fouls on Copps..

Steve Lister running from his own penalty area to bury one in the goal stanchion at BV - perhaps vs Scunthorpe very early 80s..

And duplicated from the headed goals thread, Hugh Dowd from the D vs Exeter circa 1981..

[Chris Black come back]

The Husband goal was 16 August 2013 - first game I think Tommy Spurr played back against us.

[swifty50]

Ted Helmsley at Rochdale

[Barmby Rover]

The one against Bristol Rovers at Belle Vue where the goalie blasted it at MacIndoes arse and rebounded in? Superb and funny at the same time.

[Dutch Uncle]

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Harry Forrester against Bury - the one where he was 'trying' to give the ball back after an injury.

[Colemans Left Hook]

three of them today
