The next goal we score, the last goal we scored.
Gynn V Stoke 5th round in 87 sticks out as a bit of a man wee.

2) Keith Houchen semi final second goal v Leeds 1987
3) Andrew Wing final goal at Highfield road 2005

Just about all of Houchens goals, as he only scored a few but they were nearly all 'massive'

Steve Livingstone's winner vs Forest in the 5-4 league cup win after blowing a 4-0 lead, 1990.
Soltvedts deflected winner in 1999 against Charlton after we'd gone 1-0 down and Aloisi had got sent off for slapping Danny Mills.

Nouble at the Ricoh return game v Gillingham, Friday night game in 2014. Electric atmosphere and the early goals ahd the place rocking.

Shame there have not been many games like that i.e. huge crowd, good result, good feeling, cracking atmosphere. We need more days like that.

Good points Fernando and well taken. Just looked up that actual game again - we were 1-0 down and then scored 3 goals away at Leeds (who were a big deal at the time) within 10 first half minutes. That's why I went mental. And Huckerby was sensational. I guess my feeling at the time was that given the players we had on the pitch: Whelan, Hucks, Dublin, McAllister was that this was the launchpad to future success. With the right manager and with the budget that we had back then - it should have been so much more.

Kevin Kyle's against QPR was up there for me too. I was there on my own and ended up hugging the guy next to me for a bit too long. Was very awkward for the next few minutes.

I also remember going over the seat in front when David Bell scored against Palace away around a similar time. Think it was more down to whoever was behind me though tbh.

Houchen in the cup Final.

Houchen, 4th round FA Cup. Scrappist goal ever, but it was right in front us City fans.

Big C getting the winner against Spurs in the 4-3 win in 1986.

not sure who missed but it was 1-0 to us at the time, Friday night game. I was listening on the radio as well. I went mad enough at home. Had mates at the game, said it was carnage.

The greatest moment ever celebrating a goal - 13:50 12/4/87 broke my watch in the mayhem. Never know a goal like it before or since.

JPT v Preston, just for the fact it was a last minute equaliser, and then last minute winner. Checkatrade Final, both goals... Cup Final I was 8 years old and collapsed in floods of tears for both Houchens and McGraths.

Villa away, Moldovan and then the win in the league the following year. Ndlovu v Wimbledon at Selhurst Park. Dublin overhead kick at Goodison.

Moldovan at Villa was brilliant as we'd missed a few chances and felt like the same old story

I've told this tale before, but I was at the match with about 10 mates, most of who were Villa fans, and we all sat in the Villa end (can't remember which stand, but the goal was scored to our right). When Moldovan scored, me and one of the other City fans stood up and cheered, and the stewards had to come and protect us from our so-called friends who decided they wanted to kick our heads in. Made me realise how much fun football can be, and luckily all was good in the pub afterwards. I never went to a match with them again though!

Away to Everton no idea what year. Ndlovu ran the length of the pitch to equalise just before half time. Ended up sky blue army chant for the whole of half time. Home fans thought we were nuts!!!

I was in the stand along the side home end, next block to the city fans. Loads of Cov in there and chaos after we scored. I ended up out the ground and just walked back into the city end.

For me it was Boxing Day, Elland Road, Huckerby scoring the third (he terrorised the Leeds defence all afternoon) after we were one-nil down.

I ended up hugging a complete stranger and dancing in the aisles. Both very unusual events for me.

The future looked very bright for us at that time.

I was towards Villa end in the stand and at half time moved up by the city fans. I think there was about 10 or 15 of us all together. Coppers let us climb into City end to get out as we were getting some serious stick at the end.
I'd gone to the pub and got hammered beforehand in case I got a kicking knowing I'd be in the Villa end.

Killers goal against Luton when we had to win the last 3 to stay up.
Went mental and when I started to calm down I was in the 18 yard box. Can't even remember going over the fence.
Wasn't at the previous game away to Stoke but by all accounts when Oggy saved the penalty it was off the scale madness.

Ah yes, the radio commentary went something like "and he scores, in off the bar, no it's been saved, yes it's a goal, no it didn't cross the line" I was in a heap on the floor.

Deffo Thomo against West Ham 81. What a night.
Benno's Wembley equalizing goal v Spurs, when they scored so early i thought we might get tanked. Benno eased my worries by scoring City's first goal at Wembley. Then Houchen and then the Mabbut winner. 3 City orgasms in one game. The best.

Plenty of good shouts, and I could "like" a lot of them. But for me it can only be Gynn's equaliser at Hillsborough in the semi. In that huge terraced end it sounded like an atomic bomb had gone off.
