Tadanari Lee

Lee was a signing out of the blue for Saints as they looked to push on and confirm promotion to the Premier League back in the 2011/12 season.

He would go on to make just 14 appearances for the club, but his only league goal will stick in the memories of Saints fans.

Nigel Adkins’ side were already 3-0 up against Derby County when Lee received the ball on the left edge of the penalty area with seemingly nothing on.

However, the Japanese international shifted the ball onto his favoured left foot and fired a wonderful strike into the far corner of the net to round off another convincing Championship win.
