Best goal CONCEDED by Grimsby

Sometime you just need to give respect to the opposition.....

Does what it says on the thread title.  Seen some amazing goals in my time against our beloved Town.

List yours.

Mine.
Muzzy Izzet - Leicester - insane overhead kick (I remember getting slapped on the back of the head for applauding it when I sat in the Pontoon)

I also remember (showing my age now) Linekar scoring with an overhead kick n 1981 (I looked it up on that there internet) in a 2-2 draw at BP.

Yep, Muzzy Izzet. I applauded it but was back row of Ponny so was okay!

I don’t think there are many better than the Izzet goal. I remember applauding too. It was unbelievable

Yup you could see and hear the whole ground applauding it really was a sunning goal but the guy that got the cross in did a remarkable job to stay upright after skipping a sliding tackle at full pelt, then launching a marverlous cross in from right near the corner flag.

Never noticed that bit at the time was still drooling from Izzets overhead kick LOL.

Terrible defending by Darren Barnard though  

Alan Pouton for Reading 2002

That was a fantastic goal and you’d be hard pushed to witness a better goal than that at BP, I can remember the town fans applauding that too.

Izzet for me. Had a perfect view from that end of the Upper. Work of art.

I was right behind that Izzet goal in the Pontoon. Caught it sweet as a nut. I was sat quite low down, so my view was obscured a bit by the goal net in front of me. Had no idea how far out he was until I saw it on the telly.

I was sat in the Main stand and we all applauded that goal.

While we are talking special goals how about the own goal by the Wolves player from about 25 yards when we beat them 5-1, sorry can not do the link thingy.

Izzet has to be the best goal I've witnessed although the Pouton OG v Reading was an absolute classic.

I remember Macca (the original) shooting from the right wing, just before the halfway line against Walsall I believe. The wind assisted it and the keeper just tipped it over for a corner. That would have been some goal if it had gone in.

You mean the own goal when their defender chipped the keeper when under pressure from Tony Ford?

Thanks PP we had a very good championship team in those days lets hope our younger fans will be able to watch us back up there in the not too distant future.

AND

Some of us older ones as well  

The FGR one in the playoff final was decent

Mentioning own goals, i remember Tom Newey mishitting a backpass that forced Phil Barnes into a really good save.

What about the Futcher; Crichton one at forest?

Quoted from Abdul19

Beat me to it Abdul...

I was just about to say it was a brilliant strike by Keanu Marsh-Brown... if we'd have scored something similar we'd have been going on about it for ages

The moment he let fly with that one, it was a like a guided missile that took the wind right out of our sails for a while

Fortunately we had the last minute Nathan Arnold drama to come but it was a sickener to see such a sweet goal from FGR go in at that stage of the game

Quoted from ex-merseymariner

Or the Crichton miscue

Own goals??... Danny Collins last year against FGR has to be up there...
Izzets goal was probably the best I've seen not only by an opponent but one of the best full stop .

I think you'd have to look long and hard to beat that Muzzy Izzet goal.

A Michael Owen goal was very good, from memory.  His first senior hat-trick was against us.

The free kick?

Also announced himself that night as a world class cheat by diving for the penalty.

Muzzy izzet. I thought we played better than leicester, I think groves got our goal. Who got the other for leicester?

Jamie scowcroft for them. Oster for us. Not sure who was supposed to score the goals in that squad. They had dickov,  scowcroft, benjamin and Marcus Stewart on the bench

Its got to be Izzett..only other one that stands out was Mark Gall against Maidstone off the bar..wasnt too shabby.

Would have been Galling if he'd scored.

Indeed. We all knew he was a bit of a member before this:

That Izzet goal will always be the away goal I remember. Interesting to see the clip of the Wolves game , an era of  football attendances at an all time low highlighted by the fact Wolves couldn't even fill the Osmand corner.I'm pretty sure also around this time that we had two strikers picked for the England U21's in Wilkinson and Lund.Ace times to be growing up a stones throw from the ground with one of the best Town sides I've seen.

That was the time when Wolves were in serious trouble and were plunging down the divisions. I think a lot of their fans were boycotting their games at the time.

The Izzet goal will take some beating, but we were on the receiving end of some cracking goals in our non-league days.

Jason Walker’s overhead kick is also one of the few opposition goals I’ve clapped:

This one wasn’t bad either:

I also remember this one from Wednesday’s Michele Di Piedi. The footage is a bit grainy and you’ll need to skip to 2:40 but it’s a brilliant finish.

And who can forget a young Adam Proudlock doing this at 57:25:

I must have been at all those games but cannot remember any of those goals except the York lads

Quoted from Les Brechin

Think this was at the start of it. Their first season outside the old First Division (for the youngsters this was the proper First Div , ie what is called the Premier League now). Widely expected to bounce straight back. They went down again with a bloated squad of overpaid players, eventually ending up in the Fourth Division.
