Greatest Goals

After Arnold's strike on Saturday, what are everybody's favourite or most memorable goals. My favourite ever goal was Big Mac's at Scunny but the best was Alan Connell's at Altrincham, any other suggestions?

Matt Tees at Peterborough one cold Tuesday night, actually it was not that great but we went frigging loopy.

Alan Gauden's at Preston in the FA Cup replay, again not that great but another frigging loopy night.

Lew Chatterley's blaster at Colchester, God I'm showing my age now.

Gary jones's header away at macclesfield 2005, thought that was gonna be the goal that sent us up. Wasnt to be

Jevons at Liverpool is by far the best and most memorable goal i have seen in 40 years of supporting Town.

Kalala against Tottenham

Abdul v Scarborough. Technically, it wasn't a goal (it was a toe punt that went over), but in my heart it was (er, a goal).

Matt Tees header against Workington
Rob Eagle at Histon
Tommy Widdrington against QPR

There are so many for different reasons, but probably I'd go with...

"That man Burnett!" v Bournemouth (Wembley 199

Closely followed by "Shot from Jevons!" v Liverpool (Anfield 2001)

Jim Dobbins' last minute winner at Newcastle.

Alan Woodward's flying volley v York October 1971.

John Cockerill's v Huddersfield 1990.

Jevons v Liverpool 2001

Kalala's v Spurs 2005

Mark Hudson's v Barnet May 2010 which gave us ultimately false hope.

Maybe an idea for the Trust to do a Town's Greatest Ever Goals DVD?

Bit late now for Christmas so maybe do it for next year to release just before xmas. Would sell well I think, especially as a Christmas gift.

Cockerills fantastic team effort against Hudds in 1990 , There must ahve been 30 passes before it went in  

Brian Hill v Scunthorpe 1966. Billy Rudd flicked up a free kick for Hill to volley into the top corner from 25 yards at the Osmond end.

Alternatively - Ron Rafferty v Coventry 1960. Cockerill hit the bar with a 25 yard free kick that rebounded right to the edge of the area and Rafferty volley it straight back in the net.

Kevin Donovan at Burnley in the Auto Windscreen Northern Final. Going to Wembley to watch Town was amazing but knowing we were going was just as good.

Paddy Mac's screamer was a good one last season.
Not a big game though.
Maybe one of the "biggest" is Paul Wilkinson's at Everton, shame we never got to see it..

Remember being told about a Tony Ford 40 yarder ?

Suprised if Neilson's at Gateshead doesn't win GOTS.
But who knows what else is to come...

I liked Macca's goal against Rushden and Diamonds because it was out of the blue and it was Macca scoring.

Glen Downey at Wrexham anyone?

Are you the Queen?

Johnny Oster v Sheff Weds in that 7-1 drubbing they gave us in the fa cup 🏆

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

I meant on video sorry.
Only a teenager at the time so didn't make the long trip to Goodison.
Sorry.

Sorry.  

There is definitely video footage of it as I've seen it myself. Roly Godfrey/John Moore production job I think and it's pretty grainy. I'm sure it was on Mariners World at some point though I've just scoured youtube and can't see it anywhere.

Thanks for the info, didn't realise that ! (scoured youtube myself)
Would love to see it pop up on MP again at some point.
Or maybe even in a "greatest goals" DVD like Tommy says.

It can be seen right at the end of one of the 'greatest Grimsby town goals' pieces on YouTube. I seem to recall that this is broken down into about 10 parts on youtube and each is about 5 mins long. Not too sure which one it's on. It's right at the end of one of them.

Cheers that's interesting, thanks in advance if you or anyone can find it.

Did have a very quick look and stumbled across this corking run at 5:18
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VzgSdH3zJs

Quoted from Richard Cranium

Tommy Widdrington against QPR

Is that the one ?

The run in that one at 5.18 is Ashley Sestanovich I think.

The Widdrington goal is in this compilation at 0.35

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLZm8P2mBc4

First time I've seen Widdrington and Sestanovich confused!

Cheers Rodders.

I went AWOL down south in that period I think Abdul

Oh hang on though, Tommy Widdrington....

Oh yes I remember attending for his debut game wondering if it was a complete waste of money.

We scored some good goals in the 05/06 season. Seem to think there is a youtube video of those somewhere. Rodley's link had Gary Jones' vs. Carlisle too. Tekkers.

Is that the one ?

By virtue of having a season ticket for more years than I care to remember and having been to I'd guess 70% of the away games in the last 25 years I must have seen the majority of those goals yet for 90% of the goals on there I have no clue who scored, when or where-bizarre!

I picked out:-

Parky v Yeovil
Burnetts at Wembley
Dobbin at Newcastle
Reddy v Torquay
Boulding v Palace
Cockers v Huddersfield
Donovan v Burnley
Kalala v Spurs
Jevons v Liverpool
Sestanovich v Yeovil

Can anyone fill the (many) gaps?

Toner vs Carlisle early on.

1:14 is Parky vs Lincoln when we won 3-0.

2:00 is Kalala vs Notts County I think.

3:17 is Mansaram vs Burnley I think. It was bloody freezing that day.

3:40 is I think Jevons vs Luton when Simon Ford scored a last minute winner.

3:48 is Sweeney vs Leeds.

4:06 is Forbes vs Barnet.

Cockerills fantastic team effort against Hudds in 1990 , There must ahve been 30 passes before it went in  

7? lol.

4:12 Atkinson vs Barnet.

4:17 Eagle vs Histon.

Watching that video I think red socks might be redundant. White socks are the way forward.

4:19 is Bonnetti vs WBA (I think)

5:34 is Boshell vs MK Dongs

5:48 is Macca vs Rushden.

Quoted from mariner91

4:19 is Bonnetti vs WBA (I think)

Wondered about that one. I have NEVER heard a sound like it after that went in. The whole ground was going for it (bar the Baggies fans of course!)

FOR Jevons v Liverpool  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRt1KMGYTe8

AGAINST this stunner at BP from Muzzy Izzet.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6OHXjh2CLk

Despite it being against us, it was the best goal I've seen at BP.

FOR Jevons v Liverpool  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRt1KMGYTe8

AGAINST this stunner at BP from Muzzy Izzet.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6OHXjh2CLk

Snap.

That Izzet goal was the first time I ever applauded a goal against us.

1.01 is Hockless away at Stockport.

4:26 Steve Foley v Watford (FA Cup) ?

Mike Brolly in the League Cup at Luton mid 1970's: and I've seen plenty of great goals either side of that too.

Wildly guessing the 80's one's here...

4:52 Tony Rees (?) v Halifax (?)

5:45
Same red strip
Left footer - Gilbert ?
Think I can see a Stockport sign.

Both right

Boxing Day 2000, Wayne Burnett's screamer against Stockport. Shame I can't find it on youtube

Gary Jones' goal away at Derby in the league cup the round before we beat Spurs is one of my favourites.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

Jevons at Liverpool is by far the best and most memorable goal i have seen in 40 years of supporting Town.

Agree
