One-Hit Wonders

[K9hassel]

What about Jack Whitham.

Only ever scored 3 goals for us....but all in one game !!! Away to Workington 75/76.

Away to Hartlepool to be precise

I stand corrected. That was the double header in the North East that season. Workington away on the Saturday and Hartlepool away on the Monday. And yes, Whitham scored his hat-trick versus Hartlepool. Never scored for us before or after.

Ok strap, how about listing them by total appearances.

Some names to contemplate there. Dave Cowling, a fat winger from Huddersfield, I remember Nigel Vaughan's goal against Sheffield United, more a case of the ball hitting him than him getting to the ball.

Dave Madden was a cracking player, remember his goal at Selhurst Park. Stuart Beavon scored a beauty that day.

Linvoy Primus, IIRC, he scored in that 3-3 draw with Forest when Steve Stone spooned high and wide from 6yds with an open goal to aim at.

You seriously think that's a problem?! Well here's the list from 1920 ! I can do Western League and Southern League if you need them too!! (Don't you just hate a smart arese!! Sorry!

Stone's miss deserves a thread of it's own. Van Hooijdonk had rounded whoever we had in goal that night (think it may have been Nicky Hammond playing injured) before squaring it to Stone. He may have been as far out as 6 yards but as time goes by my memory places him nearer and nearer to the goal-line.

De La Cruz v Sheff Utd by a country mile - which is how far he ran for the goal.

[stealthpapes]

There's some absolute blasts from the past.

Ray Houghton. It only seemed like a year or so before he'd been in the World Cup, challenging for the title with Villa.

What.
A.
Crock.
O'
Shite.

[paultheroyal]

Not quite a one goal wonder... But he scored on his substitute debut and I was there... And about 45 others because nightmare journey step forward Uwe Hartenberger.... Never forget the goal at Swansea away and the scenes after lol!

Went on to score 4 more times I believe....

[West Stand Man]

Amazing how your memories can fool you. I was convinced Nathan Tyson had more than one goal for us. Ah well.

Still love Parky's goal v Wolves in the League Cup where Houghton seemed to want to take the ball off him. Parky just barged him out of the way and launched it into the top corner ..... from the halfway line ..... or our own penalty area ..... or Newbury showground.

Ray Houghtn only scored one goal for us?

The fat lazy pcunt.

[Royal Ginger]

Shaun Cummings' goal right at the death of his Reading career sticks in my memory. Underrated servant gives us a golden goodbye.

Looks more like Mautone.

I'd have put money on Chalobah getting more than one too and maybe Obita.

We averaged a keeper per game that season so it might have been his turn. I remember one game when they were all injured including the loanees, so Hammond played while (presumably the least) injured.

[From Despair To Where?]

That was against Ipswich. He performed heroics for 70 minutes despite only having 1 working leg and suffered another injury which finished his career. From memory, we lost 1-0.

Incidentally, that Forest game was Mautone's last for us.
