Best goal seen down Ninian Park Hasselbaink

For me it will always be the Tony Villars goal against Palace in a match we had to avoid defeat to save being relegated. Villars got the ball in his own half and seemed to run through the entire Palace team, helped by a one-two with Willie Anderson, before firing a shot into the bottom corner. Stunning goal.

Best thing was that goal saved us and relegated Palace.

Next best the Peter King volley.

under the lights with a very decent crowd in... seemed to mean so much at the time but things were never going to get properly better for 30 years.... looking back it seems like the defeat against Real Madrid was the start of us falling apart...

I think that can be put down to mismanagement and lack of investment rather than the result itself being the catalyst for our decline.

ask 10 people and you will likely get 10 different replies as for reason but it defo went down hill from there... we blew promotion followed by what seemed an endless relegation battle ...under JS we managed just 30 wins out of 130 after that defeat...god knows why he wasnt sacked sooner.. tbh does my head in scoular this scoular that he made slade look like pep for most of it.... we beat an ok real madrid team so keep him in a job for 4 years...no doubt others will view it differently...

That would be the same Jimmy Scoular who took Cardiff City to the semi final of the European Cup Winners Cup in 1968 which is the ONLY time a club not in the top tier of their National League has reached the semi final of a major European Cup Competition and that record still stands today.

Slade wasn't fit to clean his boots and for those of us lucky enough to watch the Scoular years comparing him to Slade is hilarious.

hilarious or just very truthful....? but the summers were longer and the grass was greener.... and 5 relegation battles { 6 if you include the mess he left us in } were fine as long as you beat shamrock rovers in the cup winners cup....

Hilarious fella.

its truth mate.... you dont like it but it was far from funny at the time.... and tbh in todays game he would have been gone early in his first season... no wins in how many ? even Trollope manged a couple , we did have a couple of nearly years and did have a couple of good cup results but generally they were good times for reasons other than what was going on ,on the field...

Still the best goal I’ve seen down at Cardiff.

Definitely up there. I was in the Grange end and its one of the goals which I can still see clearly in my mind now.

Anyone remember Darren Adams debut goal against Wrexham. For some reason is burned into my memory. Was a blinder of a volley from outside the box left his foot like an exorcist missile.

We won 5-1 if I remember rightly and they were down to 9 men.

Think might have been Blakey's last game or one of them as well.

was the game where there were turnstyles where you paid for both the Wrexham game and the Luton or Newcastle FA cup game { they had drawn and the replay had not taken place } Bennett is a wanker

Bennett you’re a wanker!!! I remember him looking into the Canton stand and faking a yawn to the fans who were singing it constantly.
I actually liked GB and will always remember when he was up against Robbie James at full back for us - RJ did a few keep uppies before clearing the ball spectacularly in mid air and falling over. GB went straight over to him, applauded, help James up and hugged him before running back into position.

Mark Delaney against Chester.... its on 48 seconds.

Peter King scored a cracker against boro 1970

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DNN_-DoRsQ

That was a great goal and I was right behind the Grange end goal and could see it was in when it left his foot. If memory serves, Bobby Woodruff scored a cracker in that game too, I think we were leading 3-1 at half time and lost 4-3. Anyone know if I'm right?

3-1 up and lost 4-3 but it was 1 each at half time..

I seem to remember all our goals being scored at the Grange end, Kings and Woodruffs certainly were.

King and Woodruff scored in the second half, Grange end, Clark scored for us in the first half, Canton end.

Just watched a youtube clip, you are spot on, my age is my excuse.

I remember the Darren Adams goal the commentator thought it was Blake, I got Gary Bennett sent off in that match!
Tony Evans v Everton best team goal I saw, TV cameramen on strike so it wasn't on MOTD.
Delaney best individual goal!

Peter Sayer FA Cup v Spurs.
1977 if I remember correctly.

Still hilarious have you thought about having a go a stand up fella.

Mark Delaney’s goal when he ran 80 yards beating three men to slot in from a narrow angle Think is was against Chester

Peter King for me too, this is why we love football so much, you never know what's going to happen next.

Aye that was the one. Cracking buzz around the place that day.

i think the crowd was bigger than usual due to the FA cup rickets being on sale.... its one of those that sticks in the memory for all the right reasons..
