Best United goal at BDTBL ?

[Pierre's PC]

Either of Fjortofts v Portsmouth early on in 97/98.

Oh for a player of Fjortofts quality today...

 

[Gin&Juice]

Not for quality, but for sheer emotion and jubilation - Peschisolido against Forest.

. I was present for TC's 'Quality Goal' etc. and thought at the time - and since - that he scuffed his shot and that fooled Day.

I agree, I had a good view of the shot from the BLLT and thought it was a mishit that fooled Mervyn Day but watching the goal again on MOTD it looked a lot better from the camera's view. TC himself has said that the goal wasn't one of the best he has scored and I agree with him but he gave a 10/10 performance in that match (the first of the four 10/10 performance I have seen by a Blade player- the others were TC again against Stoke three weeks later, Sabella in the 2-2 draw at Preston in August 1978 and Tonge v Millwall in August 2002)

Brown's is in an elite category all on it's own because...

1. It was against Wednesday
2. It was a brilliant goal

Can't see it ever being beaten.

 

[flyingmonkeyuk]

Deanes 45 yarder v Liverpool was quite special

Saunders throw in goal v Vale

Edwards amazing dummy v Bristol Rovers

But Browns volley is still no1 for me.

This.

Was that the stepover one?

 

[Silent Blade]

Was that the stepover one?

The stepover one was against Crewe in Nov 1997. The JAF goals against Pompey in August 1997 were different. The first was a chip that stunned Pompey's keeper, the second was a curling effort from a tight angle on the left wing

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Three I'll mention that i'll never forget, that I think haven't yet been mentioned.

Hamson v Liverpool. 1-0. Beat the Champions of Europe that night.
Anderson v Sunderland. 3-2 Goal Of The Month. MOTD.
Beattie v Pigs. 2-2 Free kick at Kop End after being 0-2 down.

Must admit it didn't seem scuffed from the kop and I've seen it a couple of times on TV over the years and it didn't seem scuffed either. Must look closer next time I see it

 

[BigBed]

As I recall, didn't Jags score a screamer against the piggies from way out?? Or am I getting mixed up with Michael Brown???

I scored with a screamer about 40 years ago

 

[Bobby Orkiss]

I scored with a screamer about 40 years ago

Are we still talking football ?

 

[BigBed]

Or Beastiality!!??

 

[loyalblade95]

for me its between
Brown vs pigs 2003
Dean Saunders vs Port Vale 98
Jags vs Leeds 02
Jags vs Middlesborough

 

[I should coco]

I don't think Jags ever scored against Michael Brown?

 

[BigBed]

He may have scored with Michael Brown, the world's a versatile place!!

Was that where he dummied a shot by lifting his foot over the ball? If so yes that was quality.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Got to be Tony Field's, and that was 12 years before I was even born. Never seen anything close to that while I've been alive.

Best I've witnessed must be Browns volley against that lot. Peschisolidos "Oh my god" goal v Forest would also be up there.

Edit: Actually Peschisolidos goal would be a dead heat with Browns.

1st. Brown vs Pigs 2003.

2nd. Jags vs Leeds 2002

3rd. Colin Morris vs Oxford (third division promotion season.. Ask yer dad you young uns)

 

[Silent Blade]

1 Brown (v Wendy 2003)
2 TC (v Liverpool 1971)
3 Woody (v York 1971)

 

[BushBlade]

1st. Brown vs Pigs 2003.

2nd. Jags vs Leeds 2002

3rd. Colin Morris vs Oxford (third division promotion season.. Ask yer dad you young uns)

Was that when we beat them 3-2?

 

[Lt. J Dangle]

In the bracket of 'for emotion and jubilation' I'd also say Jags goal in last minute v Middlesbrough for first win in Premier League.

I'm too young to have seen Currie and Woody unfortunately but seen some of their goals and would have to agree with Currie's goal v West Ham. From games I've attended a few spring to mind :-

Steve Wigley v Blackburn circa 1986 (I think someone else smashed one in the top corner from about 25 yards in that game but can't remember who)
Alan Young v Oxford circa 1983
Andy Kennedy v Blackburn? circa 1987 (ran for about 60 yards before smashing it high in net)
Glyn Hodges v Manchester Utd FA Cup 1993

Probably a few more too.

re: The Andy Kennedy goal. I threw a half-eaten pie from the back of the kop, when celebrating that one. If anyone here ended up wearing it, may I offer sincere apologies

 

[zablade]

No, inevitably we lost 2 - 1 after taking the lead through Colin's worldy. Jim Smith's Oxford won the league, Dave Basetts Wimbledon finished second and we finished third, fortunately no play offs those days and we went up.

I must have been thinking of the season before.

 

[AlienWoodward]

Definitely Gary Hamson v Liverpool 1978 for me. A little shimmy from Sabella and boom, what a goal , what a night. I have the picture hung in my home it's such a special goal for me.
Also Dane Whitehouse v The Pigs again right in front of the kop. Not sure I have heard such a noise ever at The Lane as when that ball hit the back of the night

One of the few highlights in an altogether forgettable season if memory serves.

 

[bladestrivia]

for me king keiths dummy against bristol rovers pele like running round keeper then arm up in the air to the kop any body else remember it , steve wiggleys goal against blackburn was special beating 4 or 5 players we had just signed him and thought wow what player this kid is

 

[bladestrivia]

only just remember that hull and burnley game
