Greatest Goal Seen at the Lane

[White Van Jan]

My brother rang me that morning telling me he had a spare and do i want it?
I had agreed to help a mate move,and it only being Wigan, and probably not be much of a game i turned it down........................................

Story of my life

I got to the game, but for some reason I'd got seats in North Upper. Also, unusually we kicked off playing towards the North. My other half used to joke at HT's when in the South, that as long as we were level we'd win as almost all the goals seemed to be scored at the North. 8 in the South v Wigan that day!

Actually being there J Block for Danny Rose Woolwich, no contest

Dean Marney vs Everton number 2

 

[Totti]

One that I don't think has been mentioned.

Defoe against Woolwich in the 5-4 NLD

The 2 best goals I saw in the flesh were not at WHL but Wembley. Ricky Villa in 1981 and Gazza's free kick in 1991. Difficult to pick the most outstanding at WHL but the 2 most important were the 2 winners for the UEFA cup being Mullery in 1972 against Wolves and Graham Roberts in 1984. I was at both matches.

[Mick Cooper]

Berbatov goal v Braga.
Through ball from Thudd,
Everything about it was footballing excellence.

 

[Mariner]

Huddlestone v Bolton, build similar to Carlos Alberto 1970 v Italy except Tommy hit was cleaner and more spectacular

 

[StuG]

All 9 against Wigan - 22nd Nov 2009. Couldn't believe that second half, they just kept going in!

Was supposed to have gone to that game.

Ended up going to Nottingham to play a poker tournament instead.

Was gutted when I saw the scoreline.

Rose against the scum wins it for me. Gomes was an unsung hero for that goal, the man ran to the halfway line from his goal to instruct Danny to move back and position himself better before the corner was taken. I remember because I was shit scared that he wasn't gonna make it back to the goal quick enough in the event of a scum counter from the corner but I can't complain on how it turned out in the end.

Best I've seen live was kanoutes volley against Everton in 2003 I think it was out of no where that or hoddle v forest

 

[Paul G]

Hoddle's goal v Bolton '78. He was a football god and I saw many of his goals home and away.

 

[Mrs Perryman]

If i can only nominate ones that I have seen in the flesh has to be Hod's v Oxford

 

[Ahab]

I was right behind Liam Brady's swervy goal against us in that 5-0 defeat. You had to admire it.
My old man used to talk reverently about Jimmy Greaves's goal against Leicester. He went around five players I think. He never missed a home game in 30 years.

 

[Pete27]

Slightly off key....anyone remember Chivers trying to score from the halfway line, right at the start of the second half at home to Newcastle in April '76?
It was his final game for us.

 

[Burko]

Poyet's goal against Derby stands out for me, got on the end of a defensive error and first timed it over the keeper.

 

[White Van Jan]

Ah, that must be where Trippier got the idea for those first time crosses

 

[Bovrilplease]

Flo's lob over Walker, the final goal in the 1-6.
