Unreal moment from an average player?

Didn't Craig Hignett score an equaliser against Arsenal once as part of Mickey Adams OAP army?

Mark bright v Everton 1985. Scored 2 on his debut. Took the headlines from Gary Lineker on his Everton debut. And was useless thereafter

Yes, we scored another but it was ‘offside’, nearly toppled their unbeaten run!

Twisting the question a tad, but Ndidi's shooting is below average so his first goal screamer against Stoke was quite an unreal moment looking back.

Islam Slimani's strike vs Liverpool in the 17/18 League cup

Any goal that Alan Maybury scored and he did score 3 for us........can't find footage!

Lilian Nalis v Leeds for me too. In fact, I can’t really remember him doing anything else. But I’ll never forget that volley!

This coming season you can watch it 23 times in the pre-match video,  assuming they don´t delete it to make room for last season´s great moments

Harsh on him? He was solid for us in the Championship and his pens, crosses and screamers weren’t one-offs 

He used to drive me nuts  - he could be fantastic one minute (e.g. the free kick against Forest) and shocking the next. In that way he was like Ian Banks.

I only saw him "in action" on the pitch, against Shrewsbury in a League Cup game.

Was there it was a tap in but it was the season Arsenal ran away with the prem and we equalized in the 90th minutes. The walkers went into delirious meltdown.

I think the importance of that goal, result and manner in which we won is often overlooked in the grand scheme of that season as a whole.  It was massive.

Some people never got over it.

That one time that Junior Lewis passed the ball forwards.

Brilliant brace. He scored loads of great goals - Ipswich and Wednesday come to mind. Possibly average in the premier league but not the championship🥰

I was in the away end at Hudds when he scored those goals, not sure if I have ever seen a player score 2 goals in one match as good as that before 

[Saxondale]

I assume it’s already been posted (not

going to read six pages to check) but the obvious one for me is Lilian Nalis’ worldy.

Paul Gallagher vs Palace was a couple of great goals.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Not sure if this was a dream or not, but that time when BdCR beat three players, quick one-two with Soumare, nutmegs a defender and rifled it home from 30 yards.

Craig Hignett scoring v Arsenal and pissing Wenger off.
