Best Blades goal from a free kick?

[moody1889]

Stephen Quinn v Portsmouth bent it over the wall beating David James quite emphatically.

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.

Vas did one before Beckham hit the one in the opposite corner, and Vas' was better too.

The favourite one I witnessed was Tonge v West Ham. That day really did feel like we were in the PL to stay.

 

[Grey Blade]

Football was different then but by today's standards wouldn't that have been a foul by Currie prior to the foul on Woodward.
Great freekick though

 

[Blackheath Blade]

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

Norwood scored a worldy free kick against Aston Villa when we demolished them a few years ago. One of the best I've ever seen.

 

[Blackheath Blade]

Fleck vs. Wendy

Norwood vs. Blackburn

Doyle vs. Blackburn in the cup

Doyle's wasn't a free kick. Tremendous strike though.

 

[JustLookin]

There's no video evidence and there were no-one there to see it, but I once scored a 70 yard thunderbolt into the top corner against the pigs in the 95th minute to win the FA Cup. Reyt goyl it were.

 

[Maidenhead]

Mark Dempsey scored some I think?

That's the first name that always comes into my mind when the conversation turns to free kicks.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Vass v Swindon I think?

Stop smoking pot before bed.

Vas vs Sunderland in the PO semi, helped by some comical goalkeeping admittedly...

 

[Revolution]

That's the first name that always comes into my mind when the conversation turns to free kicks.

He scored 2 free kicks at the Lane in 1986-7: in the 4-1 win v Blackburn and to put us 2-0 up in the 3-3 horror show v Reading, from which I have never recovered…

 

[Silent Blade]

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

Boxing Day 1970

 

[Silent Blade]

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

To old to remember which matches though

4 times

v Newcastle (h) in League Cup Sept 1969
v Leicester (a) Sept 1971
v Coventry (h) Nov 1971
v Norwich (h) Jan 1973

Borbokis v. Sunderland PO semi '98 at BDTBL

 

[Jon Bon II]

Loved Hugh Johns as a commentator. Much better than Brian 'beautiful goal' Moore.

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I'm pretty sure that Jon Harley scored a screamer against Spurs in a pre-season friendly.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Thanks to all those who have posted free kick replays. Some fine memories there !

However, I don`t think any of them beat last night`s one from Gus.

I scored loads exactly the same ? many times .... however those dreams stopped when Doc Pace left us when I was about 11....LOL.....

Boxing Day 1970

Thanks, wondered when it was, i'd have been 11 so sounds about right.

 

[joe casey]

Ben Davies (the midfield one)

 

[Aganarama]

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

Join the club.

 

[Guesty]

Ben Davies (the midfield one)

Fantastic, although he immediately blots his copy book with that attempted celebration.

 

[thehet]

Charlton away in Lg1, Duffy was it?

 

[TankersleyBlade]

Tri Dellas 1999 versus Pompey, Kop end. If the net hadn’t stopped it then someone behind the goal was going to be in real trouble. Sounded like a bomb going off when he hit it and the hardest hit shot I can recall seeing live.

 

[Rusty view]

Tink he scored a similar one also against Sunderland on his debut (I think). Maybe 1st game of season It was at the away end.

That wasn`t a free kick - that was from open play.

Fair enough. My memory is playing tricks on me. Was it the mazey run and then he curled it in?

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

You boys just keep sitting there, i'll do the heavy lifting...

 

[joe casey]

Fantastic, although he immediately blots his copy book with that attempted celebration.

If anything it sums up that era perfectly - moments of brilliance followed by abject failure
