Not a Wednesday goal but one I've always remembered is a goal at S6 in 1992 by a Chelsea player called Graham Stewart.

Picked up the ball in his own half proceeded to carry the ball, took on 3/4 players & put the ball pass Chris Woods at the Kop end.

Would that be Graham Stuart?

Bloody autocorrect.....yep that's the one, was on the Kop that day, was an unbelievable goal, one I tried to replicate many a time in my younger years

I was gonna say Varadi vs Forest. Cracking run and finish following a Forest corner if it’s the one I’m thinking of.

Yep that one, a breakaway goal, full run down the pitch, great shot that I probably saw going in before it hit the net.

Jeff Johnson at Reading 1977. First away win for nearly 2 years , 30+ games. 

[Gleadless Owl]

Hirst v Man U near the end of the 86/87 season 

[Beaconowl]

For many reasons I have very fond memories of Lee Briscoe’s goal v Arsenal

Di Piedi at Brum, about 700 of us there

I think Semedo's only goal deserves a 'folklore' mention [Adams Park, Oct 2011]

... & I swear he was the nearest player on the pitch to that partridge when it finally disappeared 🤫

The Varadi goal is a folklore goal where I was in the stadium but never actually saw go in.

First goal I ever saw Ken Knighton v Bolton 74 saved us from relegation 

I will go for another Varadi goal as well v Forest first ever top flight game i saw in 84 

That Varadi goal against Forest was the first game back in the top flight after the 84 promotion.  Won 3-1, that was the goal that wrapped it up.  The 13 year old me was somewhere at the bottom of the East Bank.

Pearson scored the goal that wrapped that game off. Brilliantly in place to knee it in.

You don’t get goals like that anymore.

Kneeing them or arsing them in.

[Tank_Owl2,0]

I don't think this one has been suggested but was a beauty.

 

Sheltons overhead kick from near the edge of the box away at Newcastle the season we got promoted to Div 1. Just remember the mayhem when it went in. I was stood right behind the goal more or less in line with him.

Just watched the highlights of that Forest game to remind myself of what happened.  Eventful.  Zico’s twice taken penalty, both to the keeper’s left when he went the wrong way.  Hodge going walk about for the equaliser.  Varadi’s 70 yard run and screamer in top corner. Then Pearson’s…whatever that was.  🤣

I was in the corporate boxes ...we somehow blagged a space in the AutoWindscreens box......went absolutely mental when di Piedi scored....ended up in a heap on the floor.....

That was when he took the corner flag out and started waving it around.....was also the day England played a WC qualifier a couple of hours later.....at Old Trafford if memory serves.....

This was the goal that sprung to mind as soon as I saw this topic.  It wasn't often I went in the North but was high up towards Leppings Lane end. 

Did Sterland score a similar type of goal v someone ?

He scored vs Arsenal at home when Hodge rolled it out to him on corner of our box. He went all the way to their box and blasted it home. We went in at h.t. 3-0 up.  He allegedly burst into tears in the dressing room when told that the film cameraman had missed it.

I think we drew 3-3.  

Didn't Merson have a blinder?

Cheers Fred.  Can't believe I could not remember the game.

I was working in Lincoln. Left work at 5 to 3, listened to sterlands's goal on radio sheffield.  Got to Hillsborough at half time and couldn't get it. Finally got in 10 minutes from time to see arsenal get a last minute goal to complete a 3 goal comeback to draw 3-3

Antonio v Carlisle 

He's been speaking about it recently on a podcast..

Although, he got the attendance way off the mark, it seems he enjoyed it!

[owl71]

Just read this thread again.  No mention of Miguel Llera…the free kick at Hudders, and the incredibly important header at Griffin Park.

Goodness me: the sound when that went in!  

Remember it well.  

[Lee]

I've re read the thread and I ll say it again.

Sterlands penalty to seal promotion to the top flight.

Side footed to the right in front of the kop.

I was on the kop that day.

Decent attendance, probs circa 30k.

As a side note I was also at the home game against Man City a couple of games later.

To be fair to them the city fans were chanting at times.

We're staying down , we're staying down, you're not.

Fair play albeit nearly 30 years ago, different landscape now
