There was one he scored early on his career. He had been pretty rubbish really for a few years; a typical Argyle youngster struggling to break through into the first team. Then, all of a sudden, under Neil Warnock as manager he got a run in the team and started to score. The goal I am thinking of was at Home Park; Argyle were kicking towards the Devonport Endl there was a long ball played into an almost empty opposition half and Evans ran on to the ball and thumped it home from well outside the penalty area. It was the emphatic nature of the strike that I liked at the time - it was a statement of intent from a young player who had found his feet. I can't remember the opposition and I'm just hoping I've not muddled up the timing (someone will probably correct me and tell me it was scored earlier on in his career when he was still pretty rubbish!).
Sounds like the one he scored against Colchester in the second leg of the play off in 1995/96.Trigger did possess a fair turn of speed in his younger days,i think it was a goal kick from Cherry which was flicked on and he left the defence for dead before crashing the ball home.Could be the one you're thinking of.
No, not that one. I completely remember that one. It was earlier that season I think and a Saturday afternoon game. It wasn't dark. I've just been looking at the GreensOnScreen database - obvious candidate matches from the 1995/96 season include: v Orient (1-1), v Doncaster (3-1), v Lincoln (1-0), v Rochdale (2-0) - all games at Home Park that Evans scored in. Unless I am imagining it all... I'm starting towonder whether it might have been the following season.
