Players Scoring Against their Former Teams

syngindub

Listened to Alex Fergusons interview after the 2-1 Defeat to City last night. He mentioned that loads of players have scored against united having left the club. Got me thinking...I couldn't think of any ex united players scoring against them!! My memory is gone to the Dogs. Well Alex reckons there are loads, so anyone remember any?

Paul Ince for Liverpool

Mark Hughes

Some fella last night. Little spiteful lad. Name escapes me.

Also Denis Law is the most famous one obviously.

syngindub

fair play ye, he got the Equalizer

Le King

Denis Law, 1974, back heel for City against United. It would of relegated us, but due to results on the day we were relegated anyway.

Andy Cole when at Blackburn..

I think the only goals Nikolas Anelka ever scores are against former teams!

I like it

Coillte_Bhoy

Larsson for Barca v Celtic.:(

Le King

Since Anelka played for 5 different EPL teams it wouldn't be hard!

Robbie Keane is one that springs to mind. And never celebrates either

Bellers at Anfield last season

I'd say there's a good chance he scored against Spurs playing for United alright

Was thinking he did all right. Not 100%

Prolific Peter Crouch must be in with a shout maybe given his moves.

Edit : Memory fail

He didn't. I looked it up on Soccerbase as soon as I saw the thread title.

Hamann against Newcastle.

Cool Running

Richard Dunne scored against City a few months ago and showed some class

Fuhrer

Bellamy must have hit a few of his former clubs

syngindub

I really enjoyed Dunne scoring against City this season. That expression says it all

Didn't Lampard score a penalty against West Ham and celebrate as if it was any other team.

He does get a fair bit of stick off the West Ham supporters though. they deserve it

Mr.Nice Guy

Henning Berg scored for Blackburn when he came up against United a few years after he left. Can't think of any others scoring against United though.

Yeah, he gets terrible abuse from them. Really bad. So he gives it back when he scores.

Darius Vassell loved playing against Villa.

I wasn't sure. I remember him taking a penalty at WHL in a United/Spurs game. I think he scored it anyway..

noodler

Heskey against Leicster?

Maybe?

Henry against Juve.

GavRedKing

Didnt some guy for Man City score against a former club a few months back and ran the pitch to show his "apprecation" to the away fans.;)

Scoring against former clubs is rare enough, depending on what terms you left the club and fans I reckon most celebrations should be just like its another team but emotions of the occasion and adrenaline pumping could prove difficult to keep under control.

syngindub

looks like teddy scored twice against spurs..according to http://www.stretfordend.co.uk

Mr.Nice Guy

Berbatov against Spurs:

whys that?

patmac

Some chap called Adebayor started all this antagonising celebrations, looking forward to Barry's celebrations against Villa if he get's one.

kinaldo

David Batty memorably for Newcastle v Blackburn on his first return to Ewood Park
Shearer for Newky v Blackburn (lost count)

Andy Cole v Newcastle (lost count)
Les Ferdinand v Newcastle (once maybe twice)
Didi Hamann v Newcastle (once)
Abdoubaye Faye v Newcastle (once)
Titus Bramble v Newcastle (once)
Craig Bellamy v Newcastle (twice or thrice)

Probably dozens more v Newky too.

I'd say scoring against old clubs is very frequent and often...

Ush1

Aliadiere against Arsenal.

Did Valencia bang one in against Wigan over the X mas....Or was i imagining things.....maybe the booze had my head mushed

Well, let's just say that he hasn't exactly endeared himself to West Ham fans since he left. Yes some of the stick he gets from a minority of our supporters is OTT but a lot of it he deserves.
For West Ham we've actually had a fair few ex players score against us. Konchesky scored last season for Fulham, Tyrone Mears a few seasons ago for Derby, Lampard obviously with annoying regularity, Defoe likewise. Lee Bowyer earlier this season. Kanoute when he played for Spurs. Joe Cole 2 seasons ago for Chelsea. Jimmy Bullard for Hull this season. Just a few off the top of my head.

And of course Tevez. And obviously, seeing as he was treated with the greatest of respect by our fans when he returned (as are the majority of our ex players, despite what the media try to imply) he repayed that respect by refusing to celebrate any goals against us.

Agree. Was good to see the tevez/west ham relationship there. But when he returned to United the way the fans booed him really annoyed me. One of my friends who is a big United fan said he was embarrased by the United fans that day.

Thought it was bloody great last night to be honest. Ferguson was more taken up in trying to keep Ronaldo rather than a great player who actually wanted to play for them. United got what they deserved imo. Loved the Tevez celebration where he did the same thing when he scored for united last season. Id say Ferguson enjoyed it too

Maurice Johnston scoring for Rangers against Celtic:D

Well said there.

Dunne had more reason then Tevez to do what Tevez did last night but he let his football do the talking.

As did Tevez no?
And how did Dunne have more reason than Tevez to do that? Was Richard Dunne booed by Man City fans every time he touched the ball? Just curious?.

Mr. Guappa

Jermain Defoe has bagged a fair few against fromer teams, he has scored against Spurs for Pompey and vice versa. He has also scored against West Ham for Spurs.

Luke bloody Young scored a screamer against Spurs when he was at Boro.

Gillington

Stephen Warnock against Blackburn :rolleyes:

What United players booed Tevez when he had the ball? Dunne had more reason cause they just offloaded him. SAF tried to sign Tevez in the sumer but he turned United down.
