Longest-range goals for Blades

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

The recent thread on goals from outside the penalty area got me thinking about the outrageously long-range goals we have scored. The two I remember are Graham Shaw from the half-way line v Portsmouth in 1960, and Deane v Liverpool lobbing the ball in from about 45 yards in 1992. Does anyone remember/know about others from similar distances?

I can remember Jean Calve slamming one in from about 40 yards in the last relegation season .

TC's goal against Liverpool in 1971 is the longest I have seen when the keeper is near the goal

 

[Pollingtonblade]

Zico Lake slammed one in at the dell in 92 that was from a distance.

2010 v Preston. Cracking goal, but I'll only give you 35 yards.

Deane against Grobbelaar was a good one.

Terrific shot, from about 35 yards?

Tri Dellas banged one in from about 40 (portmouth was it?)

Was just about to say this one. Seems like one that was probably a bog standard 25 yarder but we've all added to it

 

[Jermyn]

John Ryan on his debut against Rotherham was about 35 yards

 

[Silent Blade]

Deane against Grobbelaar was a good one.

Yes but the keeper was out of his goal

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Remember John Gannon scoring from about 30 yards against Bradford.

 

[Sithblade]

It was against us but Sterland's on Boxing Day 1989 seemed nearer the half way line when he ran up to shoot. Beattie's against Pigs was a fair way out.

Tri Dellas banged one in from about 40 (portmouth was it?)

Less than that

Jags vs Boro was a good way out

Another cracking goal, 30-35 yards?

Was that from the same spot that Jagielka scored v Leeds in the League Cup?

[metalblade]

There is always Jags goal v Leeds in the cup or the one v Boro in the Prem

 

[Silent Blade]

Was that from the same spot that Jagielka scored v Leeds in the League Cup?

You decide

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

You decide

They both teed the ball up on the same blade of grass ...

One of my Favourite Ever Blades Goals! I was behind the Goal as Tri struck it and the Frame of the Goal was still shaking for minutes after! Incredibly Powerful Shot!

John Matthews v Oxford late 70's early 80's. I'm getting old.

 

[Isaw Joeshaw]

I need Silent's help on this , but I remember Woody smashing one with the outside of his foot from a looping ball from Salmons .


It must have been from at least 35 yards and I think it was in a cup match against York City .

Just about picked myself out on John Street on that clip.

The numbers show fine on a white panel as well, without turning the whole back into Leeds!

Happy Magic Memories

Tony Agana, FA cup, Huddersfield 1989.

He wasn't that far outside the area. Great strike though.
