What are your personal top ten Coventry goals of all time? Believe it or not I found it quite a minefield!

I’ve created a video of my top ten here. Although as a small caveat I’ve decided you can only pick goals from games you were at!

Pretty decent list. I was at most if not all of those, so I'll save myself some thinking time

Cyrillic against Luton 1988. Not a lot on the game but picked it up on the half way line and ripped through them

Well. As you said "I’ve decided you can only pick goals from games you were at!" I'm gonna cheat.

Clive Allen's 'goal' for Crystal Palace. Everyone in the ground knew it had gone in...except the ref.


As for City goals at games I've attended...

Houchen obviously, but second place has to go to this.


Shay Given, the only Irishman who doesn't know where Dublin is.

Best goal I’ve seen has to be Huckerby vs Man Utd, not just the goal which is top class but the atmosphere of that game winning it in the closing minutes.

Jay Bothroyd’s goal against Palace at Selhurst I always remember. The old ‘just turn and hit the bastard’ sort of goal. Was it on ITV? Same game as the McSheffrey goal I think. Bothroyd really fancied himself though.

Youssef Chippo vs Leeds at home is a goal that I remember going mental at. Watching it back its as good as I remember. Not sure Huckerby v United can be bettered though in terms of goals where I was present.

Cyrille’s goal in the QF was the opening goal. Houchen got the winner(s).

Hi Gruff,
Amazing memories especially Huckerby, I was at every game you were and in fact must have been near to you against Wimbledon cos I was right in line with Ndlovu when he hit that great goal! Shame you didn’t make the Cup Final, obviously Houchen would be in my ten but some great goals there! PUSB!

Hucks goal is the best ever for me.

Plenty obvious ones above I'd agree with.

Mifsud second at United was brilliant. The occasion, the fact he danced past one of the all time great centre halves and being in front of the 12,000 Coventry fans.

We had some phenomenal goals between 2012-17 actually. There were goal of the month competitions that were better than most goal of the season votes. Moussa scored 6/7 outrageous goals including the volley at Preston, his chip at Sixfields and the one where he took on half the MK team from the half way line.

I saw a few weeks back on twitter a very obscure goal from Carl Baker in the FA Cup away at Hartlepool. An absolutely incredible overhead kick. Makes all the ones Biamou score look awful!

After mentioning it on the Tommy Hutchison thread I’ll go with Tommy’s brilliant solo goal at Highbury around 1972 time.

I can’t think of 10 at the moment but the best 4 I’ve seen with my own eyes are
Dennis Wise’s overhead kick at Hull,
Speedie lobbing Seaman at QPR from miles out,
Steve Froggatt’s rocket against Everton (this was on Sky aswell I think),
Peter Bodak at Maine Road (first time I saw us win away).
