This is a long video but Woody's goal is from 0.38 seconds and then ignore the rest of the video. It was in the 3-1 defeat at Man City in the Anglo Scottish Cup in August 1975. I have not seen this goal before

It is when you are born and blessed with his talent.But it feels like you've seen it before, doesn't it?
Man with brilliant shot receives ball within thirty yards of goal and proceeds to kick said ball hard and fast directly into said goal.
Simple game, football.
Shilts never saved a Woody penalty. He scored two penalties against him in Dec 1972 and Oct 1973 (this one is in YTV 100 great goals video). He has had 4 penalties saved, they were against Sunderland (probably Jim Montgomery was the keeper) in Feb 1966, Man City (Ken Mulhearn) in Jan 1968, Coventry (Bill Glazier) in Nov 1971 and West Ham (Bobby Ferguson) in March 1973...........he also took great penalties - think I only saw Shilts save a woody penalty.
His general placement was to the goalies left and it nearly always seemed to hit the side netting.
stats anyone?

I wasnt at the Sunderland or Man City match so I do not know (Shalalalafenoughty or LSF may remember which end?). I was a Lane regular from January 1970.thanks for that
well it wouldn't have been the first 2. I seem to recall it was in the Kop goal - was either of the last 2 in that goal?
that will test your memory!

do envy you lot old enough to remember watching woodward and currie era
Joe Shaw's last game for us was in the 4-0 defeat at West Ham. He was made sub for the L**ds match you mentioned.And old enough to forget as well, given that I can't remember either of the early Woodward penalty misses against Sunderland and Man City even though I would have been at both games. I have no memory of the Sunderland game at all although I recall the game before (beat Fulham in the Cup) and the game after (against Leeds, Joe Shaw sensationally dropped, game on TV, watched it from near the pavilion). I remember the Man City game as the one where Paddy Buckley made his debut but can't recall the missed penalty for the life of me.
Mind you, I had completely forgotten until I started visiting this site that TC had missed a penalty in the home game against Luton in February 1971, a huge game in the promotion season and one of which I would have said every detail was etched on my memory. Once I read about it on here I could recall it plus the additional fact that John Hope, on his home debut, turned his back as the pen was taken and refused to watch.
I certainly attended the Sunderland & Man C games in the 60's but finite detail escapes me sadly.Shilts never saved a Woody penalty.

I remember the Mulhearn save. Was stood right behind the goal (Kop end) on the white railings. Hit it down the middle and it hit his legs as he tried to get out of the way. Piss poor penalty really, but even the great man could make a mistake it seems.
Hockey scored 4 times for us, the first one was v Millwall in April 1971, Millwall keeper Bryan King was holding the ball ready to take a drop kick and Hockey dived straight at him, used his hands to knock the ball away from Kings's grasp and then slid the ball into the net, amazingly the ref allowed the goal to stand.I am trying to think back to a time when Trevor hockey played, I seem to remember him scoring a goal from the touch line, I don't know how close to the half way line it was, can anyone else remember this or am I having a senior moment.
Thanks for that, I remember it was on TV maybe I have the wrong player, just seemed so vivid ah well age does that.Hockey scored 4 times for us, the first one was v Millwall in April 1971, Millwall keeper Bryan King was holding the ball ready to take a drop kick and Hockey dived straight at him, used his hands to knock the ball away from Kings's grasp and then slid the ball into the net, amazingly the ref allowed the goal to stand.
His second was in the 2-2 draw at WBA. I was at that game but dont remember his goal. I probably would have remembered it if it was like you described
His third was the equaliser at Birmingham in August 1972, from outside the box that flew over Paul Cooper. Prior to that, the Brum fans booed him everytime he touched the ball. Highlights of that game was shown on ITV in the next day and I would have liked to see his goal again (also Woody's winner) but there is only footage of Bob Latchford's opener on you tube
His last was the 2nd goal at home to Leicester in Dec 1972, Peter Shilton had parried a fierce shot and Hockey was quick to hit the loose ball into the net from the 6 yard box
Maybe you were thinking of Len Badger's goal in the 7-0 win against Ipswich? It was from 40 to 45 yards but keeper Laurie Sivell should have saved itThanks for that, I remember it was on TV maybe I have the wrong player, just seemed so vivid ah well age does that.
