Better than Blakes IMHO; but both were superb goals...

I reckon there are others better and it's often tough to recall all of the 'great' ones we've seen as time goes by; but I do recall John Buchanan getting more than his fair share of 'beauts' and the one Craig Bellamy scored late on versus the 'Jacks' always leaves me with a warm feeling...

I remember the goal keeper turning around and looking at us in the Grange End and shrugging his shoulders as if to say " there wasn't a lot I could do about that"

Personal favourite is Scott Young Leeds fa cup

John Buchanan v Jacks. 1981. Free kick.

What a goal. And he was at least 75 yards away from goal!

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?

So many great goals at NP and probably a few that are not remembered so well. Obviously Clarky's against Real Madrid stands out, and Earnie against Stoke who had a giant in goal and he never moved. I also remember Clarky's header against Millwall when their keeper took a goal kick held up in the wind, and Clarky headed it back over him and into the net. Ronnie Bird scored with an unstoppable shot from what looked like 40 yards out, and the Blackburn keeper never moved. Anyone remember any of these?

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

I remember all of them but Peter King's wonder goal against Boro tops the lot in my opinion. Incredible technique to volley a dropping ball from just outside the corner of the penalty area. I don't think even Peter King himself could believe it when it finished in the back of the net. Birdie was never a great player but he had a terrific shot on him and of course he was an ace penalty taker.

I loved Clark's header too in a game I think we won 2-0 with two late goals. The Stoke keeper that Earnie beat was Ed de Gooey.

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.

Over 27,000 that night and there were times that season when crowds were around 5,000 but until Sam Hamman arrived at the club we had struggled to find owners willing to put money in, except maybe Bob Grogan, but his death was followed by one owner after another apparently happy for the club to stay in the lower leagues. SH ended that and he set us on the road which has seen promotions, cup finals and divisional winners.

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.

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...

Yes we lost 3-4, we had Frank Parsons in goals for us and he had a shocker.

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

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.

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....
