Best Header

[Chief_Froley]

I remember enjoying Robinsons header Vs QPR away. Seemed like it smacked in

I took a picture of that one!



Was that game also the one where he suplexed a player when the ref wasn't looking?

as an oldie has to be mick jones bullit header from woody's corner at the kop end against man utd boxing day 1966 nearly broke the back of the net to the dismay of about 10k man utd fans who were on the shoreham that day lol

I was only 11 at the time so my memory maybe a little hazy, but I recall Tony Kenworthy scoring a fantastic bullet header against Peterborough in the 4-0 win, at the kop end last home game in May 1982. My memory of it is that he was just inside the penalty area when he headed it, however there's no footage so I could be wrong.

 

[Large Mendonca]

Morgan vs Crystal Palace in the 2006 promotion party.

I was gonna mention this one - not seen many headers with spin on the ball. Right behind it as it curled into the bottom right hand corner.

 

[Maidenhead]

I'm still thinking about Bindon's TOWERING header from the weekend - bloody love a headed goal me.

Now I'm not saying its the best header we've ever scored, but bloody hell he got up high, and the flight path into the net was bloomin' satisfying too!

I have no doubt there are loads better, but what is your favourite header we've scored?

To me it just looked like an action replay of McGuiness's header in the Stoke game.

John Francis, 93rd minute winning header to beat Brighton 5-4

Dad gave me the option of this game, or going to the cricket at Scarborough. Dickhead here chose the latter, still regret it to this day. The PA read out the full-time results for Yorkshire clubs later that day. In the dullest, most bored sounding voice. Sheffield United 5 Brighton and Hove Albion 4. It lives with me and I have never chosen cricket over United since.

Not sure if mentioned but Billy whitehurst against wolves

 

[programmechap]

Andy Barnsley against Bradford in March 87. Bullet header in the top corner at the Kop end in the first minute.

Also diving header from Stan at Lane end , April 89 against Preston.

Only trouble is that both were in the united goal...

the shoreham was heaving that day was the fullest i had seen it since the early 70s

Indeed it did, which begs the question of how much practice in training have the players had blocking defenders, to allow the space for free headers from the big lads.

Gus worth a shout for his excellent deliveries.

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Flo was 6ft 4in tall and had the heading reach of someone 5ft 4in

Similar to Sander Berge.

Exactly this. Jones was at least 30ft in the air, or so it seemed to my 8 year old self was directly behind the goal. Also Gil Reece diving header in the 7-0 victory over Ipswich in 1971...

 

[RossoDeltic]

Is that the goal where he and Deane exchanged passes on the halfway line, John St side and Deane crossed for Hodges?

 

[CPB]

John Egan heading Wily Boly and the ball into the back of the Wolves net during the Covid season.

Egan also tackled a liverpool player with his head on the floor too

 

[Bristol Blade]

This from Jags against Watford in our 05/06 promotion season.

The winning goal?

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Diving headers will always be the best headers, Was it Bobby Davison or Whitehouse away v Pigs?

But also agree, Bindon got some proper height on his jump. It was almost a carbon copy of McGuinness v Stoke. We seem very good in the air at corners this season under Wilder

No coincidence that we’re better since Hamer’s back taking them

 

[reedy63]

Both goals against Everton in the FA Cup 1970 at Bramall Lane. Both in the second half at the Bramall Lane end.A beautiful cross from Alan Woodward, A diving Header from Addison, another great Woodward cross, a reght Header from Gil Reece, to make it 2-0.one of the best Fa Cup games I had the pleasure of watching.

 

[jt64]

For the importance in the season, Kieran Dowell away at West Brom for me

 

[derfblade.3]

Harry at Oldham 14 years ago. I was right behind the goal and it was a bullet header. I think it was his first goal for us but could be wrong.

My favourite header was Supercalygoballisticcelticareatrocious which I think was used by the Daily Record.

Peterborough United v Sheffield United, 11 February 2017​

Was behind the goal when Billy Sharp scored an 87th minute header .. Jay O'Shea crossed it James Hanson headed it across the box and Sharp nodded it in the timing was perfect and from that win I just had a feeling we were gonna be promoted

We’ve actually got good defenders that head the ball properly. Last season and for years it’s been too much about wrestling until ref stops play. We’ve had too many players like McBurnie and Souttar that got involved in that nonsense too much

Bamford keeps himself out of it as the decoy whilst the big defenders make runs that defenders can’t handle

 

[Sportbilly /Detroit Blade]

Didn't Deano score a couple of decent headed goals in the 6v1 versus Chester City?

Was there for that game, as u said, ay o'shea cross, hanson header, sharp with the finish, both away ends went mental. That was the first game I remember thinking why the fck is o'connell going down the left wing

 

[N20 Blade]

The winning goal?

Ian Bryson was a seriously under-rated player, he worked so hard and well for us. Some massive goals. Sunderland away.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

As others have expressed , I’m also a sucker for a diving header .

One of the best and certainly the bravest I ever saw was by Jim Bone , who in a match we had dominated but not found a way to score (might have been against West Ham ) , flung himself knee high in a crowded penalty area to guide the ball into the bottom corner and give us the victory we deserved .

As for Bindon’s goal , I was mightily impressed and was one which clearly demonstrated that if a player has the ability to spring much higher than taller defenders around him then he will always be a threat .

In this respect , there can be few better examples than Dennis Law and our own Doc Pace .
