What are some of your favourite Spurs goals?
Three of my favourites have got to be;
• Peter Crouch scoring in the San Siro I think that goal meant so much to all Spurs fans, showed we really could beat top European sides and deserved our Champions League spot.
• Adebayor against Dnipro.
He gets on the end of an Eriksen ball and sticks it in the back of the net sending Spurs on their way to Lisbon. Absolute bedlam in the Park Lane celebrating that.
• Woodgate against Chelsea at Wembley.
The man used his entire face to get the ball across the line and won Spurs the league cup.

For you youngsters, back in the early 70s Leeds were the Man City/Chelski team of the time. An incredible team of a peculiar mixture of amazing skills and outrageous thuggery, but more than anything a team that was damn near impossible to beat, at their best.
In January 1971 I was fortunate to squeeze into Elland Road and see a Spurs side (in its first season without Greaves - IIRC) lean on the mercurial talents of Martin Chivers - who could make Ade look like a model of consistency.
He scored 2 goals that night and one of them (the second I think) was every bit as good as his goal against Wolves in the EUFA cup final at Molyneux.
* It probably wasn't, but to a 13 year old it looked feckin' awesome (we won 2-1)
On the Leeds trail, Darren Andertons against a much poorer Leeds side at WHL was pretty bloody awesome as well.
But I loved this one, (the second in the clip) because it showcased two of Spurs best talents of the time, Thudds passing and Berbatovs sublime skills

Not my favourite, not even the best goal. But I certainly remember going nuts when that went in.
It was already posted within the Gazza clip but it needs a a post of its own for being possibly my favourite Spurs goal ever by arguably my favourite Spurs player.
I was 10 in '91 but even then knew how good it was to shit on Woolwich.
Cue a summer of repeating that commentry over and over in the park

I was at that game the spurs fans were incredible. I have a memory that mobile phones had reached a tipping point from being the reserve of company directors to being derigour for every successful plasterer. All the phones were in the air so the yids back home could hear the celebrations. Brillant scenes.
oh the times
Sandros goal against Chelsea. Could find the vid, but i remember that i was so happy (i mean happy, as HAPPY) that i hit my kitchen chair, my foot hurt like a month or even more, but at that time i was so HAPPY that i didnt care.
we lost.
i regret hurting my chair, but it looked like a chav at that moment.

too many to mention all of them, but the ones that are ingrained in my memory and saw live:-
Ginola v Barnsley
Villa v Man C cup final
nearly every goal by Hod - especially v Watford and v Oxford
Gazza v that lot down the road cup semi
Hubby's two v Milan and one against that lot again, when he stuck his two fingers up at their crowd
Graham Roberts v Anderlect UEFA Cup final 1984
Alan Mullery v Wolves UEFA Cup final 1972
Garth Crooks winner against Liverpool when we beat them for the first time in 500 years (or that's how it felt!)
Jimmy Greaves v Sheff W in 1969, as that was the first game I went to see live
All the goals in the game against Leeds when we beat them 4-2 the year we nearly went down
