Fun fact: I was in Montgomery's car that paraded in front of the West Terrace at half time that day. Saw Dublin score whilst being told to get off the leather upholstery. Memories, eh?
Mine would obviously be "Houchen's Header"! Wembley 1987! But one goal I'll always love for the pure cheek and clever thinking was Dion Dublin's cheeky goal when momentum carried him behind the goal line, Shay Given put the ball at his feet ready to kick out, and Dion came from behind, nicked the balled away and tapped it in! A bit of questioning between the ref and lino before it was given as a goal. Happy days!
Banik OstravaTony Dobson Preseason at highfield road can not remember who against 45 yrd volley!
Yes that was it vs Southampton. However, I don't think it was at the Spion Kop end since I never stood there and it happened right in front of me at the other end.Was that the one at the Spion Kop end where Hudson had his back to goal, flicked the ball over his shoulder and over the defender, turned and hammered it into the net? Whoever it was against, it's one of my favourites.
Chippo at home to Leeds. As much for Hadji's reverse pass, as the actual finish itself.
The equalizer in the semi v Leeds. Better than sex.
I got thrown out for celebrating (pushing and shoving was OB's made up reason...) our second goal (Smith I think), so missed Lloyd's spectacular effort. Met my brother after and he kept going on about it...he hadn't realised I'd been chucked out! :sorry:Obscure one this...
Lloyd Mcgrath volley away to Tottenham when we lost 4-3 (when they had Lineker and Gascoigne).
It was just so unexpected (he just swung his foot at it and hoped for the best) and we'd had so many 0-0s under Don Howe that our support just went mental.
One of those days when although we lost the game, it didn't feel like a defeat at all.
In an attempt to detract from what is an utterly abhorrent current situation, thought I'd start a nostalgic happy thread instead.
One rule, you're not allowed to pick Houchen or Huckerby's goals.
.
Southampton it was, mate. He went through them in slow-motion, what a goal.
My choice for pure exhilaration and relief was Brian Kilcline v Luton 1985. Never celebrated a goal as much as that.
I would also add if I could , 2nd Coventry goal at 1987 semi final , however NOT allowed to mention that as KH responsible!
