    John Salako played for us ???

    If it hadn't have been for John Salako then we would have been the first Premier League side to lose to a non-league side in a cup game. He equalized for us in the last minute at The Valley against a then Conference based Dagenham & Redbridge side.

    Of course, cheers Tom.

    I probably saw about 35 of those 47 apps, just have no real memory of him playing for us.

    Anyway, back to thread, Paul Hayes for Barnsley, 2006 play offs

    Scott Sinclair scored a hat-trick for Swansea in the Championship Playoff Final back in 2011. Think he might have been the first player to score a hat-trick at Wembley since Clive Mendonca.

    One of those players I often forget played for us - for good reasons as well!

    47 times!! My memory is worryingly shot

    He was decent for us. I remember him helping to turn the game against Tranmere at 0-2 down in Championship year. He went nuts when we got the winner.

    Defoe got one for England in 2010. Does he count as one of ours :wink:

    Don't know if this has been mentioned before on CL,
    But Chris Duffy was the 1st player ever to celebrate a cup final Goal
    by going Ape and running half the length of the field.
    It was shown again on Pathe news last week on the Beeb.
    I know it's de rigueur now, but was unheard of back in the CAFC glory days.

    At Cardiff, not Wembley. If you are referring to his goal for West Ham against Liverpool in the FA Cup Final

    Whoops.
    Then in this case I draw a blank.
  • Does Josh Wright for Gillingham in the play offs about 5 years ago count? He came from us, right?

    I've done a quick summary of where we are with this. So far 46 goals from 29 different players including penalty shoot-outs. Are there any more, though?

    Was in Southend yesterday and piggott was at the front of the parade bus lapping it up.

    ...he crossed the ball for a goal though, didn't he? You're right, that's not the same thing :(
