Favourite goal by an opposition player NOT against us

[The Rising Sun]

My favourite is Billy Bremner v Celtic at Hampden

And Brady v spurs at WHL

Anyone else got a goal they particularly like ?

[Mod]

One that sticks out is the Beckham half way line goal. Back when very few tried it and he knew exactly what he was doing. The weight and angle he put on the ball is perfection!

Cyrille Regis v Man Utd in late Dec 1978 at Old Trafford.

The 5th goal for West Brom in their famous 5-3 win.

Brilliant goal.

Always loved a great volley. This one is special because the ball doesn't touch the ground from when the keeper claims it, but the technique is unbelievable.

I enjoyed seeing Arsenal gate crash Liverpool's championship up at Anfield with that Michael Thomas goal.

Another exceptional volley

And another

And for technique, this is pretty amazing. Fairly obscure, but it's an ex-Chelsea player and deserves to be well-known

 

And I've always thought this should be remembered as one of the greatest freekicks ever:

Steve MacKenzie for Man City v Spuds in the 1981 FA Cup Final Replay.

Sparky scored some beauties, but that volley against Spain was unreal.

Hoddle's against Man U was also a thing of beauty. Seem to remember it featuring in the opening credits to Midweek Sports Special or something like that.

People always talk about the Ricky Villa dribble as being one of the best-ever FA Cup final goals. It wasn't even the best one in that final.

Pajtim Kasami's goal Vs Crystal Palace. One of the best I have ever seen in the Premier League

 

Messi's goal vs Getafe.

 

 

All 3 of Crystal Palace's goals vs Liverpool in 2014, for obvious reasons 😆

Ronnie Radford Hereford Utd FA cup 

Take into account, Herefrod at home to Newcastle in the FA cup, four leagues apart, a photo of Newcastle and England striker Malcolm McDonald (leading scorer in the league at the time) was on the back page of the daily mirror holding up 5 fingers stating he is going to score 5 goals against Hereford, it was also John Motsons first ever commentary game. It rained hard all night and day, the pitch is a bog, the ball was soaking wet, Newcastle lead 0-1, Ronnie Radford wins the ball in midfield, plays a one two through the mud, then unleashes a shot you hit in your dreams. Fans invade the pitch, Hereford go on to win the game. It is often voted best FA cup goal of all time.

Mullery's goal of the season 1974. Remember we all tried to re-enact it over the park...............

Great goal. Graeme Sharp for Everton v Spuds at Goodison in Jan 1982. Saw it on ITV 4 ‘Match Time Revisited’ recently.

This stunner just came up on my Twitter feed. Like the Hoddle volley above, the ball doesn't touch the ground after the keeper kicks it. Route 1 football can be spectacular:

Another one I remember from when I was about 10. Great strike by Franny Lee but made more memorable for the Barry Davies commentary!

John Barnes for Watford v Birmingham in the FA Cup. March 1984. It’s the first goal in this footage.

Nibs: Good shout for that Franny Lee goal v Man City. Great goal and great commentary by Barry Davies.
