Curse of the returning striker

[Paddington Blue]

Ok so we all know the story......ineffectual striker leaves Southend, returns with new club and scores a great goal. Harrold,JCR, Revel, Sampson....For those of you with better/longer memories, who else should be added to this list

 

[eastling]

yep which is why everyone should place anytime goalscorer bet on ex players at the hall! pays out every time!!

 

[Ricey]

Roy O'Donovan but not this season :thumbsup:

 

[RobB11]

Bloody Scott Malone scored for burton at the hall.

Great goal by Sampson

 

[WightShrimper]

When we've finished with them, we should just nobble them all.:winking:

Great goal by Sampson

He hit it well but it was the deflection off our player that put it in the net

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Other than the goal I thought Sampson was the same Delilah as when he was with us; all strutting and peacock with no balls.
Didn't Paynter score against us too?

Sampson was causing our defence the kind of problems I like Corr to do to opposing ones, looked a lot stronger too. Every time though, as has been said.

 

[DCC]

Mark Rawle, Martin Carruthers (hat trick at Scunny) but they both did at least score for us before leaving. Worst ex-Shrimper to score against us I can remember has to be David Morley who shinned one in for Macc Town before McCormack saved us with that injury-time winner.

 

[Wickford Blue]

Should at least have been booked - fouled Phillips at lease 6-7 times in 1st half and goal was a deflection!

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Sampson was pants when he played for us, never looked like scoring. He was One of Paul Sturrock's biggest mistakes.

 

[BrettieAngell]

has Matt Paterson scored against us?

 

[Silencer]

Dean Morgan last week

Paul Benson and Ricky Holmes recently (albeit Reserve and Youth team respectively)

 

[chapperzUK]

has Matt Paterson scored against us?

Don't think so. Neither did Gary Hooper.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Everyone was raving about Sampson after his debut.

Sampson has been outstanding for us so far this season. Should have been given a goal against Exeter that was so far over the line that it would have needed "back of the net technology" to see it ! He will move for a big fee before his 2 year contract is up.

I don't remember much about his time with us to be honest, certainly looked a decent enough player for you. Strong and willing to challenge, and that's what you want from a tall centre forward.

A bit of skill is always a useful asset too.:winking:

I was impressed by Sampson on Saturday. Looked ten times the player that ended his loan spell here.
