Easy.
Gazza 1991 free kick. Wembley. Woolwich.

Forgot about Pavs goal versus Liverpool last minute 2-1, pure pandemonium. Some bloke stood on his seat next to me, smashed it in half. Shins took a beating.
Ah, they've got you... They've bought your soul with promises of music and logos that you convince yourself your life was nothing without it.... That's how they trick you into thinking the CL is the be-all and end-all of life!
It's stunts like this that eventually killed the European Cup Winners Cup!
Tell your children, tell them it existed, and wasn't some made up name!
There WAS European Football before the Champions League!
Football is dead!
Crouch at the San Siro would be up there for me. Pure euphoria after being so proud of the lads for holding on for the draw to set us up at home. Defending against Ibra, Robinho and Pato, Charlie went off having had one of his legs kicked into the stand, then the break, the realisation that we could nick this, Lennon darting past Yepes, me screaming "SQUARE IT" then the commentator's "CROUCH!!!" and then I just went fucking mental.
Something a bit different - my most memorable miss and most celebrated save.
I was 7 and 5/6ths. It was a Wednesday night, it was my bedtime and my mum was nagging me to get upstairs and brush my teeth.
My Dad called me onto the settee, put his arm round me and told my mum that bedtime could wait for a bit.
I kept quite as a mouse for the next 2 hours enthralled in the action on the telly.
Then Danny Thomas missed an important penalty, but the crowd still chanted his name!
Then Tony Parks saved his final penalty and me and my Dad went fucking mental in the living room!
Spurs had just won the UEFA cup.
I was born Spurs and had already seen Spurs win two FA cups, but I was too young to appreciate it.
That Wednesday night put an arrow through my heart so deep, I still get a bit choked just thinking about it!

Dembele v Lyon and Bale v Spam stick out immediately, but i'm gonna throw in a slightly different one:
Pavlyuchenko for 3-1 against Inter at the Lane.
I think maybe because I was there, but also because I think for me that was the "fuck, we have a terrifying team here, this could be the start of something beautiful" realisation, as well as witnessing Bale's absolute magic and just knowing it was going in from the second he hammered it past Maicon.
Just found a video of it. Fuck. Bale, Van der Vaart and Modric; those days seem a long way gone.
Chills.

For me, Lineker's goal to make it 3-1 in the FA cup semi final of 91. As good as Gazza's free kick was it was early in the game and the goons made it 2-1 just before the break. It was nervous as hell in the second half but then Lineker got put through and Seaman let the ball squirm through his hands....15 mins to go but i knew we were home and dry then.
My most celebrated goals ... well there are a few, with the most recent being Dembele's.
But the one that left most memories was a goal during last season by the great VAN DER VAART.
It was the last second goal that VDV headed in from a bale cross against Stoke City. I know that we still managed to only get a draw but the Stoke's defense was really frustrating me.
... sooooo ... when VDV scored ... I went nuts ... and broke both of my hands ... and my friends took me to the ER ... LOL
It was so painful but so funny!!!

:rafaaaa: :adelol:Dembele this week - The Europa League means a load to me, I'd love to win it! And the way Lyon played for the 70 minutes after the goal was awful, they didn't deserve to go through. The fact it set up a re-match with Inter made it even better!
Kaboul vs Woolwich
Lennon vs Woolwich
Dempsey vs Man Utd (1-1)
Crouch vs City
Kranjcar vs Bolton (2-1, last minute winner) - we were drawing 1-1 in the 90th minute, news filtered through that Newcastle had come from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 vs Woolwich and the whole ground got a lift. Then Kranjcar smashed one in the top corner from 25 yards. I was there and went absolutely mental!

I hardly celebrated the first two at all, and the third was more of a "oh my goodness what the fuck is going on?" type moment. Totally incomparable to, say, Dembele's on Thursday.
Hopefully he can do a Zanetti / Nagatomo version next week
The Young Boys second leg was hyped as the BIGGEST. GAME. EVER. After one goal, everyone went mental, Second was a big relief. Third was - What the fuck were we all worried about? Fourth was almost - Why did I even bother coming to this procession?
Mine were, in no particular order...
- Crouchie's header to get us Champs League. I had a lump in my throat after that goal and had to hold everything in not to cry. All the shit and pain whisked away in a flash of a goal and finally felt like this was a new dawn. (before getting utterly cunted for 4th last year)
- Woodgate at Wembley. Had a smile on my face for a week after that game, winning something meant so much and dived on a load of random yids at a pub in Cardiff to celebrate.
- Robinson's goal against Foster - Just a cracking party atmosphere after that goal and everyone was bouncing for the rest of the game. A time when we weren't bogged down with thinking we should win every game and appreciated each win.
- Malbranque's goal against the scum to make it 5-1. Just pure relief and elation (I love that man). I don't think there is a single substance in the world to make me feel how I did that night.
- Lennon's equaliser again scum to make it 4-4. It was more down to how cunty RVP was being and doing that little cocky dance when they got the fourth, it was a real fuck you and something we'd do to them a few more times.
- Klinsmann's over head against Leicester. Was a wee boy and was desperate to see the man play, I did, he did an over heard kick, I went chicken...
