Best Blades goal from a free kick?

[ShorehamRevolution]

Gus Hamers from last night has got to be up there, Michael Tonge against the pigs for the occasion, a couple from Vas Borbokis also stick out. There’s loads to pick from obviously, my minds a blank this morning, hit me with some.

 

[Bayingblade]

James Beattie against Wednesday.
Alan Quinn against Villa IIRC
Keith Edwards popped a few in
Alan Woodward at Derby as good as any.

 

[JOEYDEE]

Hamer effort against Derby this season was cute

 

[Silent Blade]

 

[Gavlar]

Surely Tongue v the fowls at the sty gets a mention?

 

[highgreeninjapan]

Fleck vs. Wendy

Norwood vs. Blackburn

Doyle vs. Blackburn in the cup

 

[ShorehamRevolution]

Great power behind it, the difference between the balls then and these days makes free kicks completely different. Imagine how many attempts it’d take to recreate Hamers last night to that !
I love the old school free kick goals for the power though, I was born in the 80’s so never played with a ball like that I was always told by relatives older than me that they stung a bit if you got in the way of one though !

I mentioned it in the top post, just the celebration and which end of the ground it was puts it right up in the top 3 for me.

Beattie scored in 3 consecutive games with free kicks in 2008 including against the pigs. The best one for me though in those 3 games was the one vs Burnley away

Great goal, but definitely not better than Hamers.

Jose Baxter v Oldham, Boxing Day 2013. What a strike. Perhaps someone with better skillz than me can find it on YouTube.

They never learn!

Woody's v Leicester about 50 years ago, stood right behind it and saw it bend round the wall. Great goal.

Thanks for posting - the clip is great- TC having to cajole Woody 20 yards to come and take it. Grumpy Woody shrugs over and just welts a cannon ball rocket- fantastic.

Hard to pick a winner between Gus's last night and that beauty- both absolute joys to watch.

 

[munksyb]

Woodwards direct goal from the corner
Think he scored 2 that way

To old to remember which matches though

 

[FMBlade1]

Tony MacMahon easily number one IMHO for doing it twice in one game.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Michael Brown in 3-2 away win at Norwich in 2002 is up there as a favourite.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Mark Dempsey scored some I think?

As I'm sure most of us did, I played a fair bit of football as a kid and like the rest of us I'm pretty certain an injury likely stopped me going pro

One thing I'll never forget from childhood though is the feeling of being slapped with that Mitre ball on a cold rainy day. Usually to the thigh. Was an absolute unit that thing.

Alan Woodward........... many times.....end of lol .

Currie appears to be ragging the ref about at one point, too.

 

[raul]

Recall Oh Lord bending one inside a post from 25 yards v Reading which was disallowed for some reason. Re-took it and pinged it just inside the other post instead to set us on our way


We lost 1-3....

Norwood vs. Blackburn

i always feel sorry for Norwood because its often overlooked because 30 mins later, ndiaye did his best maradona 1986 impression

 

[Groucho Blade]

We can’t have been very far from each other! I remember that goal like it was yesterday…Peter Shilton beaten all ends up

 

[Pollingtonblade]

In terms of importance at the time, Brown's which got it back to 2-1 v Forest in Play offs.

Also the one we never scored Brown v Pool at Anfield why that cunt Mooney took that free kick has never been explained.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Ollie Norwood at Brentford was a good 'un.
*edit, curse my memory, wasn't a free kick

 

[Edgar Allan Poo]

Scorchio!

Glad it’s not just me that is still annoyed with Mooney for that 20+ years later
