I seem to recall my old man telling me the story of a Town keeper scoring against a foreign team in a friendly in the 50's or 60's; can't remember much more than that though. Macca once came particularly close late on in our first League Cup game back in the league at Derby.

Incidentally, last night's goal scorer, Tom King, may be remembered as the young keeper ruthlessly trolled by Town fans in the second leg of the play-offs at Braintree. He looked genuinely flustered and made an absolute hash of coming for Marcus Marshall's deep free-kick into the box for Bogle's winner - I think it got to him. A small part in Town folklore and a reminder of the impact fans can have on games. Decent keeper though.


My dad took me to house of a former town keeper in the 60s and he told us a story of scoring for town with a drop kick with a real football

I remember a foreign team, I think from Prague, playing a midweek night match, on the first occasion of floodlights at Blundell Park.

Orange programme for that match.

Malcolm White was in goal for Town, came dashing out of his goal to collect the Prague goalkeepers kick, only to see it sail over his head into the goal.

I think I getyourfactsright.

Spot on. I think it was Dukla Prague. It was not an especially windy night at BP as I remember it. Just a giant drop kick. Poor old Malcolm White was a big lad but he was done by the bounce.

Was it a goal kick or a free kick? If it was a goal kick it would be disallowed wouldn’t it unless someone touched it on the way in? In that case the GK could not claim the goal.


You can score direct from a goal kick in the oppositions goal but funnily enough you cannot score an own goal

Law 16
A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opposing team; if the ball directly enters the kicker’s goal a corner kick is awarded to the opponents if the ball left the penalty area.

Thanks for that, sounds like the story I was told. It's been about 28 years since it was last recounted to me, hence the sketchy and slightly incorrect details.

I saw it - it was a night match and i believe Malcom White was our keeper - not sure but I think it ended up  2 - 2
