189thoughts Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I'm not talking the best goal in terms of emotions (last minute equaliser, Smith against United etc.) but your favourite goal you watched a City player score based on the quality of the goal. I remember Nicky Maynard scoring an unbelievable goal against maybe QPR (?) where he took a couple little touchs before a volley. Bryan's against Utd also special, if only for the sound it made when it hit the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTRFTG Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Not spectacular but two that always stick in my mind are the rarities: Bent slotting it home after running the length of the pitch at the County Ground; Donowa's late, late winner to put The Gas back in their box.

Tin Soldier Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Alan Walsh v Plymouth on a Boxing Day back in the 80s. 30+ yard screamer.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Tony Thorpe’s header against the Gas, Christmas 2000, after Aaron Brown’s 70 yard dribble. No question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboBCFC Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Stead v QPR and one from Pitman v Derby or Watford I think when he absolutely leathered it past the keeper into the top corner from quite an acute angle. Just such a good strike of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevP Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 For the more mature reader.....Jimmy Mann 30 yard screamer past Shilton v Forest late 70s........in front of the East End......we were right behind it and the noise it made when it hit the top corner and the noise and mad scenes behind the goal will live with me forever......happy days.

Offside Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 The third goal v Bolton at Wembley in 1986. Superb move in the build up to that. Nicky Morgan’s header v Blackburn after Dave Smith had belted down the wing. Very similar to Thorpe’s goal v the gas. Bob Taylor’s goals in his hat-trick at Swansea have already been mentioned. He also scored a great volley at Cardiff that season and another one at home to Crewe (in the game he got the injury that finished his season). Also I remember Luke Wiltshire scoring from by the halfway line, not sure who it was against. Also a very hazy memory of a long range David Clarkson effort.

magunn Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 9th of May 1986 vs Hereford, last minute goal from Steve Neville to win 3:2 on aggregate taking us to Wembley for the first time. Couldn’t get to the match but clearly remember dancing around the kitchen with my late father. A few weeks later my first visit to Wembley to see City win a cup! Not a great goal but great memories.

Also to add to SuperBob’s collection was the overhead kick at home to Brum. Also Biff Newman splashing one into the East End goal from about 40 yards v Newport I think.

TomThumb84 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 In more recent years I remember Boro at home around 2009-10, and a double from Nicky Maynard (who was razor sharp at the time), sticks out I think as Zico Hartley picked him out both times from deep, the second one I recall Hartley fist-pumping at The Dolman even before Nicky had fired it in!

TomThumb84 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Finally from me - you would have to be hard pushed to better the Palace game at home in 2008, the class from Trunds and the arrow from McIndoe - joy, relief and excitement all in one night.

Loco Rojo Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 I've got it. The greatest City goal to end all great City goals (and no ones mentioned it here yet) Murray running the length of the pitch towards the Atyeo where I was sat. Ran through everyone, against Oldham (i think) many years ago. Hands down winner and I'll never forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Technique wise, you will have a job to beat Tomlins against Huddersfield at home. To have the ability to dink the ball over the defenders head & hit it on the half volley with your weaker foot was really something. That’s before you consider the thought process he had before actually pulling it off! A mention of Trundles chip from basically being on the bye line against Scunthorpe was also great technique & imagination. Miss those sort of players.
