No mention of the great Alan Woodward, mind you so many of his were real screamers with old heavy when wet case balls not the light plastic like shit of today, Jags eat yer heart out yours don't come close.
Can anybody help me? Been so many best goals I've seen but the one that sticks out and I can't even remember the opposition. It was in the mid eighties and the scorer for the Blades was Steve Wigley. I believe this was his only goal for the club? but if it was, what a goal! I remember Wigley getting the ball just inside the oppositions half and going around half their team, this run was split up by the odd one two before passing the ball into the net at the Bramall lane end. If somebody more high profile had scored it ,then it would have been on numerous dvd's.:easy:
A quick statto glance says that it was indeed Steve Wigley's only goal for the club. It was in a Division Two match v Blackburn Rovers on November 16, 1985, which ended 3-3.
In the notes for that season in The Blades Bible, Denis Clareborough writes "It was ironic that his first and only goal he scored was a brilliant individual effort.".
It's also interesting to note that Blackburn (soon to be Moneybags) Rovers won the league just nine seasons later, but when we played them away in the April of the 85/6 season (a 6-1 thrashing, Edwards was our goalscorer) the match was witnessed by a crowd just of 4736.
They finished 19th out of 22, avoiding relegation by three points and one place. How times change ......
Can't remember who it was against but I do remember the Edwards dummy goal, my hazy memory has it at the Bramall Lane end but then that is as reliable as a Woolies voucher. He also scored with a fantastic chip against Steve Ogrizovic when he was at Shrewsbury, no mean feat when you consider that Oggie was about 8' tall.
The Woody double at Derby in the season we got relegated was the best pair in a match by one player I've ever seen.
Best goal would be THE quality goal by a quality player.
Best team goal was one that TC got at Everton to win 3-2 from 2-0 down.
I have vague memories of a Gary Hamson corker against Liverpool in a cup game as well.
Great memory of Deano winning a tackle on the halfway line with Grobelaar way out of his goals. Deano looking up and lobbing it in from all of about 40000 yards (ish) ... Steve Nicol sprinting back and jumping with his hands up to try and stop it going in ... well that's how I remember it. I think we beat Liverpool 2-1 that day with Deano getting both.
There's great goals and there's important last minute all or nothing goals (another thread?). What about Holdsworth's or (was it Tiler) to put us in the play-offs?
Happy days. Hazy memories!
Trianos Dellas, from outside his own box (it seemed) screamer. was deemed surplus to requirements and ended up at Juve after captaining Greece to the Euro's! what could have been aye....
