One Team In Keynsham Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Great thread! One that hasn't been mentioned but was he'll of a goal, although meaningless in the context of the match, Wayne Alison scored a screamer in a 3-1 defeat at Sheffield Wednesday. It was their promotion party, I seem to recall. What a goal that was! Night game, early 90s? Would have been there, but have not got a shred of recollection about the match or the goal.

Bar BS3 Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Night game, early 90s? Would have been there, but have not got a shred of recollection about the match or the goal. Yes, towards the end of the season. Massive attendance at Hillsborough. The Chief scored hi beauty at the Leppings Lane end, as I recall it.

Rudolf Hucker Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 We must have been stood close to each other, I used to stand there at home matches with my dad and about 5 or 6 other friends, sadly i'm the only survivor of that little band of brothers. My mate and I stood there for years before buying the very first standing season tickets which the club sold for the enclosure - probably around 1976. I've had a season ticket ever since.

Eco Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I can't be the only person to remember lee trundles first two goals (I think) for the club Against scunny at home. Second was an absolute thunderbolt from the edge of the area but the first was One of the most controlled, cheeky, elegant and sublime goals I've ever seen at AG. Just outside the corner of the box, dolman side he turned away from his man, saw the keeper slightly off his line and somehow got it up and down nestling in the far corner, one the best lobs I've ever seen. He had his failings but I remember thinking at that time not many people can produce goals like that out of nothing and we've now got one of them! You're not, they were mentioned earalier in this thread ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I remember that'n. Was sat right behind it in the Dolman. Went like an arrow into top left corner. The Atyeo was there then, i reckon Chesterfield?? Remember being behind it in the atyeo so yes. An absolute rocket. Didn't Mickey Bell hit a hell of a goal against Notts County - might have been at ML Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezgimed Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 I know it's recent but surely JETs against Rovers deserves a mention?? 35 yards plus, an absolute rocket. Right up there with the best I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bristol Born & Red Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 This is a bit of a weird one as I can't quite remember how the goal was scored..but it was York City away 1988 end of season in our run to the play-offs, I think we had to win and there was a lot riding on the game...City fans were in a pen at one end , I think it was Ralph Milne who scored (a lob?)...all I can remember was our fans going mental and I ended up in a different area from where I was originally standing, looking around for my mates...memories are hazy, maybe somebody else remembers that goal?.....

cider hoss rules Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Another screamer was Dave Rennie away at Grimsby, he picked the ball up on the half way line, ran about 5 paces forward and just smashed it in the roof of the net from about 30 yards - still lost 3-1 though. I was also lucky enough to witness the John Bailey pearler away at Crewe around 89/90, cut in from out on the left flank and curled it into the top corner from miles outside the box, was a beaut and won 1-0 ....... he was probably more surprised than us to be fair!

SecretSam Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Matt Bryant at home to somebody once. Long range. 40 yards. I love the way he seemed to sort of trundle (sic) forward and then, with nothing else on, thought "What the hell..." and just launched it. Would still be going now if the net hadn't got in the way. Maynard's at QPR Superb, great control and the coollest finish ever Ralph Milne v Bury Was that the one that was a lobbed volley, following a crossfield pass from Walshy? Unreal. I thought he was going to clear the East End and land it on a bus, but top far corner - unrepeatable. May I also add Bob Taylor's overhead kick vs Birmingham city (1989/90ish?) and any one of half a dozen from Biff Newman and Alan "Shuffle" Walsh.

Indeed it was although it wasn't really 'lobbed' was a perfect connection with his instep, can still hear the meaty thump as I'm typing this. Truly unrepeatable, certainly haven't seen a goal like it since. Ralph was great for us, not sure how it all went wrong at Man U, ahem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italian dave Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Does anyone else remember an Andy Cole goal at Grimsby. Long clearance from our keeper, bounced once over Cole's shoulder and he volleyed it first time - into the net we were stood behind.I think that was the moment I realised he'd play for England one day - and not for us very much longer!

turnitupalittle Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 David Seal, of all people. Against Stockport for a 1-0 win, I think. Flicked the ball up on his knee, back to goal and just outside the box. Then wellied it on the turn, across the keeper and into the opposite top corner. Screamer.

The distance was huge! 40 Yards easily against England's number 1 Goalkeeper Peter Shilton (and soon to be European Champions)...Sorry youngsters but that is the best goal scored by a city player!
