Let's get a positive thread going.

 

Let's remember some forgotten players who scored some great goals for the club.

 

I'll start, here is some great goals from Geremi 

 

Mario Stanic's 1st goal wasnt bad... Was it his debut as well?

Beat me to it coxy, yeah was his debut and we thought we had managed to buy the new maradona on the cheap after that goal. Turned out we had bought an expensive new Robert fleck

What a great goal by Stanic.

What great goals by Geremi too.

I'll see your Stanic and raise you Ambrosetti

 

Great thread Scott.

Does this count? Zhirkov's goal against Spartak Moscow.

 

Mutu's goal against Leicester that was a good left foot blaster. Shame he messed up his time at Chelsea, good player. Forgot Geremi could score some gems.

Can someone put Mutu's goal against Leicester on here, that was a good left foot blaster. Shame he messed up his time at Chelsea, good player. Forgot Geremi could score some gems.

I was at the bridge for that game. Right foot free kick into the wall, rebounded and hit it on the volley with his left. Lovely hit

Paul Hughes . Chelsea v derby at the bridge in 97/98. Scored a lovely goal on his debut. I was a 14 yr old lad in the lower east stand family section for my first ever game on my own at the bridge. Great memory.

A bit different as I doubt if we will ever be allowed to forget this player - Sky and BBC won't let us. And he did set-up Demba Ba. 

 

Funny that the Paul Hughes came into my mind as well... he scored 2 that day I believe, his only goals for the club.

So my nomination is Bjarne Goldbaek

Not sure it's a wonder goal but how about George Weah's debut  V Spurs. He'd only just got off the plane from Italy that morning (the longest run-up ever?). 

 

Dechamps only goal for us was a bit special though.

 

Long time ago Gary Chivers vs Newcastle 1980. Came second in the goal of the season.

Had to add this even though Mark Hughes isn't a 'forgotten' player but a superb goal in the best match I ever attended at the Bridge Chelsea v Vicenza in 1997. Hughes came on like a man possessed and you knew he was either going to get sent off - or do something brilliant. Fortunately he did the latter.

 

It's not a forgotten player, but under other circumstances it would have been a penalty kick to forget (the initial attempt). This time, though... Everyone goes nuts! And we didn't even NEED to win the match.

Forssell's debut, so take your pick:

 

 

I'd probably choose his first one.

There was a Prog on SS this morning and an excellent goal From Zola and Hass, but an absolute screamer  from Sylvinho of Arsenal in a 2-2 draw, an absolute worldie,

      

     

What a great goal by Stanic.

 

And I was there, screamed myself hoarse

Stunning volley from Yuri Zhirkov

Le Tissier-esque from Glen Johnson.

Edit. Didn't realise someone already posted Zhirkov's.

He had short stint with us but I won't soon forget this one
