Memorable free kicks at the lane

[s20Blade]

For the life of me I can't remember any, only the Beattie one against wednesday.

We not score many or is it just me?

 

[Mojo]

Borbokis got a few. Steven Quinn got a good one int prem.

 

[davey1889]

Keith Edwards against Gillingham, first game of 1984 promotion season?

Ah yes remember the Quinn one against Portsmouth with what I thought was a machine gun celebration

 

[Houston_Blade]

Andy Liddell v Villa, don’t think it was very good but it went in and we won.

 

[William Carey]

Norwood against Blackburn last season or season before last. Straight into the top corner

 

[Geordie Blade]

Pains me to say it but the Mel Sterland one against us (for Leeds) on Boxing Day 1989 (38:00 in the link below) was probably the best free kick I've seen at BDTBL.

 

[Inter_blade83]

Norwood against Blackburn last season or season before last. Straight into the top corner

Norwood v Villa? Near post job?

 

[Swannyblade]

Christian Eriksen vs Sheff Utd

 

[Superblades]

Tonge vs Cardiff in the 5-3 match.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Jose Baxter against Oldham, hit it like a tracer bullet.

Norwood v Villa

But the best FK I’ve seen live was Harry Wilson for Derby on Boxing Day 2018. That’s also my favourite United game of the last 10 years,

 

[Inter_blade83]

Tonge vs Cardiff in the 5-3 match.

Tonge v West Ham. Some hit that one.

 

[1889]

I was going to say the same thing, that was some free kick, to be fair to the fat bastard

The game was good, but was it really better than Bouncing Day???

 

[Bristol Blade]

Christian Erkisen in the League Cup semi.

Michael Brown probably scored 3 or 4 in 02/03. Ones against Reading and then Forest in the playoff SF off the top of my head.

I wasn't at Bouncing Day in person so yeah. As an event in the club's history, obviously not. But the atmosphere in the 2nd half that day is the best \I remember. Plus, we absolutely annihilated Derby. They wanted absolutely nothing to do with it 2nd half

 

[BalticBlade]

I remember Mel Stirland's for Leeds against us at the Lane. For some reason we had two players in the 'wall' and they were stood about 10 yards apart!

How many free kicks did Borbokis score? Four or five? Our best free kick taker i've ever seen.

I think this thread highlights how poor we've been from direct free kicks, particularly in recent years.

 

[joe casey]

Ben Davies hit a lovely one at the kop end in league 1

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Did McMahon get goals at the Lane..?...

 

[Silent Blade]

Scored at least 4 times direct from a corner plus a few free kicks too

 

[Maidenhead]

Do I remember Willie Falconer scoring a direct free kick on the opening day of the season against Swindon, or is my mind playing tricks influenced by the passage of time?

 

[Mojo]

Get em all posted on this thread to cheer us up a bit

Nope, it's my memory letting me down

 

[Guesty]

I think Alan Wright scored a free kick that seemed to take forever to go in.

Against us, I think Jeff McKenna scored a beauty for Preston, but we went on to win 2-1 if memory serves.

Tonge against Cardiff has already been mentioned, but didn't Richard Langley score one for them as well?

 

[diode_blade]

Didn't Mike Lake bang a stunner free kick in, I know he smashed a couple of beauties but can't remember if they were free kicks or not.
Over to the statos

 

[nopigfansintown]

Erickson's for Spurs in the league cup semi was the best I've seen live.

Norwood vs Villa and Blackburn.

Beatts vs dem pigs.

Quite a few from Brown. The one vs Reading springs to mind.

Tonge Vs West Ham.

Baxter Vs Oldham. My old school mate Mark Oxley was in goal. He'd never go in goal on Lodge Lane Park in Aston .

 

[Blade58]

Tonge against pigs (at sty though)

Sorry but not letting that one get away

 

[BalticBlade]

Scored at least 4 times direct from a corner plus a few free kicks too

What a luxurious thatch he had too

 

[Stanthemanfan]

I remember steven quinn scoring one at the Kop end, not spectacular but right at the edge of the box which is very hard to do
Ask Norwood!
