You,re right WG it was Southampton. Your memory clearer than mine on the opposition but I remember the goal. Not many on here will have seen it.

It nearly took the net off -- that's why l remember it. I would like to contribute more towards this thread but my memory is sketchy also. However, l have decent recall of Micky Carroll's free kick, Jason's Wembley winner and an outrageous Kenny Lowe lob against somebody or other. Relying on others to jog the old memory bank further.

Was that the one against Colne Dynamoes in the FA Trophy semi-final, 2nd leg?
Don't let the old man in.

My first thought was Mick Richmond too!

Also Royston Taylor from the half-way line, circa 1981.

McAdam's goal and also Jimmy Mulholland's in the same game. (PS the pitch had a bit of mud on it ;) )

How about Ollie Banks against Barnsley described by one of their fans as reminiscent of his dad 'Banger' Banks a former Barnsley favourite.

Completely incorrect, was a great goal and a massive disservice to call it a fluke.

This, Big Joe Corrigan in goals for Man Citeh Dennis Turrat spelling & a host of first teamers & that move finished off by Mickys thunderbolt was a classic goal, Great shout Chipmunx

I have recollections of Mark Dobie scoring more than one very similar goal from the same position. I was standing in the same location all those years ago and distinctly remember the Carlos-esque spaff on the ball.

Scott 'Quigs' Quigley versus Torquay United, 2020.
Popular side since '03.

Ah yes, one of the funnier fan commentaries on a goal:
- He thinks he is **** Ronaldo
Ball smashes in to top right corner.
- Oh!
