Heeeyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute.............I've had an idea........

for West View against Barnard Grove at their place. A chip over Jon "Chiggser" Wrigley (who went on to be a top rugger player) to take the lead - but we got beat 2-1
Can't remember the year though - 76 or 77 I think????

i remember my 1st goal for my house team at school,i'd for got my boots so had to use a pair outta the box of spares,they were too big so i had to stuff em with paper!

ball dropped to me on the edge of the box offa corner [left wing too ], i scrunched me toes up in me mong boots and laced it in the top corner!!

couldn't believe it!


theres only been about 3 goalssince mind! and 2 of them were at 5aside on wed!!

I've always played as a rightback so didn't score my first goal until I played University footy. Near post header from a corner; the first goal of that season; an equaliser and we went on to win 7-5 (shit keepers!).

I can remember the first (and only) time I scored at the Vic around 1988. Played the Mail in a match raising money for Oggy's sister who had something beginning with M, Muscular Dystrophy probably, raised the money for an electric wheelchair for her.
It was about 20 odd seconds into the game. We got a free-kick and I came up for it. The ball came over. I jumped. I could picture me thumping it into the top corner. The ball was coming right onto my head. I got a bit of a shove in the back. The ball hit me on the shoulder and rolled softly in the bottom corner. Still they all count.
We had it on video. Garrards dad and grandad videod the whole match from that old tower thing.
The commentary goes something like this...
Aw bloody hell its gone in, they've scored
Was that our Garrard who scored that one?
Nah
You sure?
Yeah, it was our Garrard taking the free kick
Aw right, who scored then?
Dunno

Scored my first one for Greatham against St. Josephs when I was about 10. ball rolled loose 8 yards out and I thumped it past the keeper. Think we lost 4-3 in a bit of a thriller, though I remember us getting the ball over the line but the ref didn't see it. the injustice still hurts to this day.

so far weve had a 'brayed' a 'laced' a 'chip' and a 'thumped'. [as well as a crap shoulderer and a commie header]

footy terms are class aren't they?!

My first real goal was "glanced". A glancing header from a corner into the top left of the goal

I thought you'd always be the one that was picked last and then sent in goal.....

glanced and wellied!

everyone must describe your goal with a new term,see how many we can get...and if we run out of 1st goals we can describe our last goal...

Right well mine was for Fens against Rossy. I told Ian Blackwell at right mid that when the corner came in I'd be behind him and when he slid the silky through ball in I toe ended it past Philip Taylor, son of Peter Taylor who always had the best foty kit at Fens Juniors.

First goal would have be one from Jessy Road bout 1974- seem to remember a hat trick a piece for myself and Ste Anderson against Barnard Grove with us winning 4.3.

You beat Lynnfield you bastad! Wait till I see you!!!!

I shall have you know, fatboy, that I was one of Fens inaugural pupils and I was the second Eleven Plus success with David Peart being the first and Clive Ridgewell the third. And we had the legendary Mr Dollin teaching us football and cricket. Top blokey!!

My 1st goal was in Footy practice at Josies our kid was in goal for the opposition and I 'tattyended' it over his head from the edge of the box!!!!

:sweet: :sweet:

It was in about 1979/80!!!!

You stole Dollin from Lynnfield you bastad! Wait till I see you!!!!

glanced n wellied

and
toe ended and tattyended [whatever the frig that is!! ]

trapper failed to clarify the opening goal of his hattrick.....

There was pair of Dollins wasn't there?? Twins?? I'm sure one of them was at Lister Steet at one stage as well.

mine was for fens....went to watch dibs play..was pissing down howling gale and only 10 turned up so dibs got his game and well i played too...corner came over from ian hodgson and volleyed it into back off the net.....started a trend from then...always notched whilst playing in same game as dibs...tho normally always against him

Your lass will be pleased, first one this year innit??......

In my only ever hatrick (from right back) I shinned one it at a corner! Does that help you in your quest young man?

Salty - tattyender is a legit description in my book. Its the same as "spudding it" or "spuddyender" - meaning smacking the ball with the very front of your shoe/boot.
I remember getting the size twelve gym shoe from Mr Smith at Tunny for simply calling him smithy when I didnt realise he was behind us.
Always keen on ruling the roost and dishing out punishment were the PE teachers at Tunny (Smithy (yer 'lovely lovely person') and Brown(?)bridge) - especially if you werent their favourite. I heard many years ago that at least one of them had been sacked for physically abusing pupils - allegedly, allegedly, allegedly
Anyone know if there was any truth in that?

shinned and volley [yawn]

Spazzed!!

ECG ON THE WING DUMMIES THE DEFENDER AND RACES UP THE LINE

Where's the ball?
Balancing on the handlebars?
Is that allowed?

Sorry Salty,

think the snippet read "a fine solo run from -Trapper- was just the ticket Jesmond needed to pull themselves back into the game".

So it must have been a George Best dribble with a tap in

one word description trapsy, one word.....jeez!!

I don't play regular football, but American Football.

I didn't score a goal at competitive level - but I did break someone's arm in a tackle last year on offensive line. Does that count?

the completely indecipherable sport of American Handball does not count on this here message board I'm sorry to say

'tapped' and 'snapped'
There you go Salty
Sorted

I daresay if you did watch it you'd pick it up pretty easily, and is by far more fun to watch than football as the teams tend to score a lot :D

Agreed with handball like, although I hate when people call it puff's rugby - it's way way way more intense

I played centre back under Tony Carter while at St Teresas, never got a goal though.

Which wasn’t surprising, considering he had a tactic of never letting any of his back four cross the half way line, come what may. I hated playing anyone crap, I would spend the best part of the game standing on the centre spot, freezing my bollocks off.

First goal was for St Francis under 12’s against Belle Vue, direct from a free kick, a beautiful curling effort :sweet: , think Gary Liddle

My first goal was for Lynnfield against Cowpen Bewley in 1984,i followed that up with a hat-trick a week later against Brougham At the time Paul Dobson was a regular for Pools and being a Lynnfield old boy was my hero :sweet: clap

He came to the school a couple of times to train us courtesy of our director of football Mr Berthou.

He certainly is a good bloke Elvis,i was talking to him the other week at the Torquay match,he was with an old lady who i assume is his mam.

Eric Wilson was also one of our teachers,he is a big Pools fan as well,wasnt he the chairman of the supporters club at one time?

Does he live on Dunbar Road?

I bumped into a UKIP fella there when I was doing doorstepping. Can't remember his name, but he's the local leader I was told. Former heavy Tory/borderline BNP according to daddikins.

A genius on the pitch was Mr Trapper - one of many hat tricks no doubt - must sort that photo out and send it your way.

Does he live on Eldon Grove, I think that I went to school with one of his daughters.

Anyways my first goal was when I played for my Boys Brigade, I was normally a full back or goalkeeper but one game I managed to wangle my way into playing up front and I scored from about 8 yards out in off the post job

he's a couple of years under 40, so I doubt it'll be him.

It was Abigal, the oldest one

I played for the 5th BB against the 2nd (I think, Paul Wilsons lot) and we won 36 - 0...I played in goal so never got on the score sheet

I don't recall playing against either the 5th or 2nd. I was in the 4th and we tended to play the 8th quite a lot

used to work with rene for streamline taxis in the early eighties typical teacher even then always pleading poverty but you are right a lovely bloke

Was that John Arthurs squad?

you lot were good at everything if I remember!

So when he was teaching me he was only 36 your right Elvis he's never changed at all,he looked 58 when he was 36 and now he's 58 he looks 36

Nah, we had Jack Maughan and the Bainbridge twins, we also had our presents MPs dad helping run it as well

Aaah yes jack Maughan, I do remember him, and the Bainbridge twins and 'Mr Wright' are still there!

are we on about trapper here?? 58 year old and scoring for jessy in 1975??

Kind words Katcha-looking forward to seeing that pic-or am I

As for the daughters-don't tell our lass - she thinks I only have 2 boys
