Memorable Top 3 Throw-Ins At Ag


EnclosureSurge

Recommended Posts

Grefory 'Bedminster Footbridge' Goodridge! He had a throw on'm, aye!

 

I liked the throw-in, in about 91, when we kicked the ball out for Charlton in the FA Cup and they didn't throw it back to us. Gave us all a chance to vent our spleens on those c*ckn*y b*st*rds...

 

John Salako!

 

Turned around to face the Williams stand as if to ask 'What's the problem?'.

 

If I recall correctly, they scored just a few minutes later to equalise (1-1), and we lost the replay - we would have played Man Utd had we won!

John Salako didn't play for Charlton until '99.

 

The Charlton player concerned was Scott Minto.

Jet against Port vale last season ...cracking throw

 

I don't like his throwing technique. He needs to run up and lob it in with a more aggressive look on his face.  Put more hard yards in. You JET lovers will probably say that his throw ins lead to goals, but what effect does his attitude have on the dressing room?  "I don't need to run up as I can lob it 40 yards anyway" .  Disgusting attitude.

Correct!

 

The other details were, to the best of my memory, correct though.

 

Again, to the best of my memory, John Salako destroyed City whilst playing (on loan?) for Swansea.

 

Had to correct you on that one Phil, I was in the Enclosure that day just a few yards from the incident.

 

Also to stand up for John Salako who (for some unknown reason) has a real soft spot for City and never fails to praise us when reporting on Sky.

 

Very, very good player too, and therefore used to attract lots of stick on his visits to AG, so his inate fondness for BCFC is even more mystifying.

No problems re. the correction. In fact, now that you have reminded me, I can picture his 'honest' bemused face at the crowd's reaction.

 

I seem to recall, though, that John Salako was actually roundly applauded at the Swansea game, similar to JET and Evander Sno.

I still call Minto a **** when ever he's on sky sports because of this :D

The best throw in has to be the derby on sky on a red n white night with those infamous red cards when they went 1:0 up in the 1st min & every time there was a sag throw in on the Dolman side of the pitch it would rain paper aeroplanes.

On one occasion FA Cup ears took a throw for the sags & with a camera on him some wag jumped up behind him making faces and pulling on his ears and generally mugging him off.

Far from the best but one that sticks out for me is Rob Newman some years ago. Dropped the ball from above his head which crossed the line of play, as he retrieved it to take a proper throw in he was promptly booked. In a state of disbelief he literally took his ball and went and sat down with St John's ambulance crew or such like at the front of the dolmand.

Least that's how I remember it anyway.

I can't quite believe how people have taken this to their hearts! I'd like to thank me mum, er, (that'll do...)

Right, anyone for Memorable Top 3 Goal-Kic... No?

Ok. I'll get me coat.

Thanks all for discussing so enthusiastically...!

I remember Andy Leaning taking a goal kick once, but he slipped and got mud on his tracksuit trousers. Thinking about it, he did that every time.

Matt Bryant a central defender in the early 90s was a good long throw specialist - played many of his games in the "championship".  He went to Gillingham , I seem to remember him getting some coverage in the national papers - not for his long throw though - IIRC correctly some non-football related story.
