Henderson's howler ... closest comparison

[goldstone]

The only goal-keeping error I have seen live (not on TV) which comes close to equalling Henderson's howler yesterday was an error by David James when we playing at Watford a good few seasons back. He gifted us a goal that I believe won us the game.

Anyone else see it?

I am sure I remember seeing Walton kick the bal against Mayo's arse, which then bobbled into the net. (vs Chester City 3-2 reverse)

True, in the west goal at Withdean.

Andy Petterson.

You weren't at Southend to watch our Carling Cup exit then?

Andy Petterson.

Was that when he fell over as he ran backwards at Withdean, allowing the Gillingham player to roll it into an empty net from 30 yards?

Yikes, that was horrific. Gillingham were leading 3-2 at the time, and I'm sure their player was heading for the corner flag until the goalie went arse over tit, and then he could hardly refuse the goal could he.

Unfair comparison...one has to consider the size of Kerry's butt-nearly impossible to miss it if in front of you

Sorry Kerry

Mayos arse bobbled into the net? Surely that's not a goal then.

kuipers walked it into the net when we were on a record streak on time since we last let a goal in i seem to recall still won the game 3-1 i think

Remember that well. Watford away years back. James f***ed it and Raphael Meade scored the goal which gave us a one nil win.

Similar to the goal which we got at Plymouth years ago (possibly 97 or 98?) - midweek game where we won (I think 2-1). I could be getting confused, but was that also the game that Jamie Moralee scored for us?

 

[Jim in the West]

And what about that goal that the Palace keeper gifted us - must have been in the early eighties. If my dim recollection serves me, it was that keeper who used to come out before the game and do an amazing series of stretches, cartwheels, etc, etc - great fun to watch.

East Goal.

thats the one

 

[ROSM]

now i could be wrong - but didn't we have another comic moment at home to brentford this year?

Another ball that should have been in row z that ended with an opposition forward skipping round the keeper to score in the 92 minute.

Raphael Meade goal? Don't remember the exact details but it definitely won us the game. Watford brought on a young Rod Thomas who ran us ragged beat all our players at least twice and then lost the ball on each occasion though

It was Watson's arse that scored against Chester, as tempting as it is to blame Mayo.

That might be what happened but it isn't as good a story

 

[Beach Hut]

What about Roberts in the LDV Trophy against Forest Green ?

 

[Icy Gull]

Kupiers catching a high ball at Withdean and carrying it back into the goal, but we won't mention that because he is GOD
