Best goal you've ever seen?

Wed Oct 30, 2019 10:16 pm

Marcus Rashford scored an incredible free kick for Man Utd at Chelsea tonight. Link to watch it below.

Got me thinking, what's the best goal you've ever seen live?

Craig Bellamy'a debut goal against Doncaster was good, as was Peter Whittingham's in the play-off semi final first leg at Leicester in 2010.

Will always remember Mark Hudson's against Derby.

Was also lucky to be on a school trip to Man Utd v Portsmouth at Old Trafford when Cristiano Ronaldo scored his amazing free kick right in the top corner.

Whittingham scored so many great goals it's hard to chose from his but the one I think against Barnsley where he flicked it over a player then volley it to top corner was one of the best I've seen down the city

Also the De Bruyne free kick against us when it went under the wall was a quality free kick

Marco Gabbiadini for Northampton at Ninian Park.

Ched Evans for Norwich at Ninian Park.

Whittingham at Middlesbrough in the cup, although any of Whittingham's best goals are among the best we will ever see.

Hasselbaink home to Wolves in the cup.

Hudson home to Derby from his own half.

Earnie overhead kick away to Rochdale.

Kavanagh from 35-40 yards at Ninian, caught it sweet on the volley with the outside of his foot and it bent like a banana rocketing into the top corner. I can't remember who we were playing for that one.

Jason Fowler's chip home to Brentford.

Mark Delaney's length of the pitch run home to Chester.

Earnie at the Grange End when he controlled a bouncing ball with his head, swiveled and scored an incredible 30 yard volley which swerved and dipped into the top corner.

Also, a special shout out to Chopra scoring the best hat-trick I have ever seen at Ninian, home to Leicester.

I know that's several goals, but they brought back good memories thinking of all those. :ayatollah:

Darren Adams volley ( I think it was his debut) v Wrexham

Phil Stant volley away to the Jacks from Gary Thompson's flick on at the Vetch where he ran to the North Bank to celebrate by staring them down.

Paul Millar from the half way line twice in a week (Swansea and the Birmingham City)

Mark Delaneys is definitely up there too

Freestone called Millars goal a fluke so he did another 4 days later...

That goal against barnsley is the one for me aswell, I was sat right behind the goals and could see it was flying in, what a strike it was

Zohore against Preston or his volley vs Fulham

Re: Best goal you've ever seen?

Some incredible goals over the years for me, starting with a few John Buchanan Exocets! :clap:

But the one that always sticks in my mind for 'pure class' was (as someone mentioned above) Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink's wonderful dummy, turn and strike at home to Wolves in the 2006 FA Cup :clap:

Form sheer ecstasy, there have also been a few; but real 'stand outs' include the one above, Blakey's goal versus Man City; Young Scott's goal against Dirty Leeds; the goal from Craig Bellamy away to Swansea; and all the goals we scored at Wembley in that golden period! :clap:

If its just one then given the occasion and circumstances I'd go for John Buchanons free kick against Swansea

Awww the memories.
I was on that side of the Bob Bank and watched it fly in like an Exocet missile.
Was still jumping around celebrating when they restarted.
I recalled your namesake opening the scoring with a volley in that game too.

Peter King's goal is always the one I think of whenever greatest goals are mentioned.

That Whitts goal was the one that sprung to mind straight away - certainly the best I can remember at the CCS along with Hudson's. I remember Harry Arter scoring a screamer for Bournemouth against us there too. Best goal I can remember at NP was John Buchanan against the Jacks.

That Whitts goal is right up there for me, my wee fella was a mascot that day too.

Next time he was mascot, Gunnar scored a rasper against Forest.

Curtis at the Vetch was a great goal.. Blake v Man City was also special, and a greater occasion.

Blakey’s..

Oh for an Alan Curtis now. Genius...

I remember most of the goals everyone's been suggesting but I really feel the goal Blakey scored against Man City is the most special as you said, because of the occasion.

For celebration Chopra against the jacks.
For nonchalance Fowler against Brentford.
For best view Hudson against derby.
For skill earnies dipping volley against stoke (I think)
