Goals direct from a corner

[Deano's Mullet]

Didnt Mathius Breikrutz get one in front of the Holte?

Paul McGrath bundled that one in if its the one i am thinking of - Sheff United at home 1992-93.

Staunton did it against Palace in 1994 and also at Wimbledon in 1993 although some books credit - wrongly - McGrath with that goal too. Steve also nearly scored one in the League Cup Final in 1994 when he forced a save from Les Sealey - our first attempt on goal in that game.

The Staunton one against Wimbledon rings a bell, anyone got the time to trawl youtube for it?

Briekrutz didnt score for Villa, he might have scored from a corner in the reserves.
He looked like the german Sid in the reserves!

But I saw him score in a friendly against Shelbourne in dublin about 18/19 years ago. Also the first time I saw a then unknown keeper named Mark Bosnich

Yeah he might have got a couple in friendlies, but Briekrutz never scored in a competitive match. I also saw Bosnich for the first time in a friendly v Bari (including Platt) at villa park. We were shouting down to him in Neighbours accents "Oi Bosnich! We can see the pub from here" (like in the XXXX ad)
ah, precious memories!

This just made me think of Angel kicking the corner out against Spurzzzz and then running up the other end to score an own goal for them 

And did he miss a penalty too in the same match and run over a black cat on his way to Villa Park?

Johnny McLeod back in '67 ..can't recall who against now, but it took several seconds to register at the Holte End when it got one of biggest cheers I ever recall.
"Hey, Hey, you, you; get offa Mcleod"

I remember that, it was of the first matches I went to; I think it may have been in a 2-1 win over Derby

So strange, they just showed Staunton's one on SSN.

Beckham scored one last night so they're showing other cases of it happening.

[Holte L2]

Staunton v Palace and I think he scored one against Ipswich at Villa Park.

Both 1994/1995.

Did Carbone or Merson do it?
