15th January 1972

F**KING BEAUTIFUL!! My mate said he's still got trauma from watching United lose this game on telly as a lad, the holy trinity is Matthew Le Tissier, Mick Channon and Bobby Stokes!

F**KING BEAUTIFUL

I saw the title and thought, is this the goal I'm thinking of? Yes. Yes it was.

Truly in the holy trinity of Saints matches- 3-2 Liverpool in the 2016 St. Mary's Miracle, 1-0 Manchester United to win the FA Cup 1976, and I don't know how but this happened too!!

I was there, with my dad. EXACTLY 30 years ago tomorrow.

I've been looking for this goal for ages, what a team move! Wish Saints would go back to that shirt again, it was distinctive, stood out wherever you were

Liverpool beat these 3-2 in the return so thsre

Moran the legend!

Wow, that takes me back! I was there, not far from where you were stood actually! So glad I got to see REM before they called it a day.

its not more-ann its more-in

Great , great days. Proud of being a Saints fan since 1978

My first football match at the Dell as a Blackburn Rovers fan. :(

Dat teamwork do

Haha Pompey we would win by more this season because your in devision 2 and we are in the premier

team work, great team work.

Amazing

Never seen a goal Like this since, don't even say Argentinas. Liverpool were giants then as well

Liverpool were like barca then

It's such a great goal, shame 8 year olds will be commenting this 'OMG THATS SH1T NEYMAR SCORD A BELTAR MUCH BETTA TAN DIS'

Whats his name?

you're 10, what do you?

I was there, right behind the Archers Road net when that one went in...Truly GREAT goal indeedee...!!

Some of the passes were a bit wayward... But yea, good goal

no it is not

This is like Barcelona at their best!

I agree. This goal is insane. Brilliant movement and passing. Wonderful football. I've not seen a better team goal.

They were passing so well

I love that this one was all team work, not just somebody going up the field himself

Amazing!! Never seen this one before!

Never seen that before, bloody hell.

aright calm down pompey

@8YouNoob8: It is. The teamwork for that was flawless and it was almost the same as the one-touch pass method the brazilians used to win from a comeback.

There was a line of Police down the Miton with us under the Toomers and the sk8s to our left. There were some clashes, mainly at Central Station.

I bet you lot got run around after this, deservedly too hahaha

Fantastic Goal !!, when I saw it was Southampton I was expecting the ball to be passed for Le Tiss to volley home from some outrageous angle :)

@JoShChAnNoN001 Paul Gilchrist (first goal) is mine!

What a perm. Good goal too

Holy jumping cowballs!!

@StLandrew1958 A player can only be offside when the ball is played. Linesmen tend to flag a player in an offside position and the ref usually blows even if the play was onside when the ball was played. This one is a close call. I notice that Mike Channon played a crucial role in Bobby's goal.

I'm always sceptical about titles like "Greatest Goal Ever" but it's fair enough with this one. Jaw droppingly good

Eat my Goal!!!!

Great goal, there are people all over the country that still follow Saints because they grew up watching that team on TV.

@Nickdobbs he's my mums uncle yes

Liverpool fan here but that goal is sensational.

@ArchersRoad Beautiful! Thx for posting that

The term "exhibition football" just doesn't do this goal justice. It's like time just stops for Liverpool from the moment Southampton pick up the ball deep in their own half - as if the whole move was pre-ordained and the Liverpool players were told resistance is folly so just stand back and admire. Piano and shoeshine football at its finest.

What a goal man! I'm so glad i watch football. :)

Liverpool fan here, great goal. hope you get promoted, top flight misses the Saints

FTR: Liverpool won this game 3-2 with an 88 minute winner from Ronnie Whelan and then went on to win the league by 4 points from Ipswich town
