Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 I've got two contenders. 1) Trevor Benjamin putting the elbow in on not none, not one but TWO Sheffield United monkeys on the way to Deane's goal at Bramall Lane at the backend of the 2002/3 season. Then our players shamelessly running away to celebrate while their defence looked like a scene from Holby City. 2) Jamie Lawrence's diving header in a League Cup game in about 1996, Scarborough was it? Someone like that. Upon making contact, getting kicked in the face by a defender and flying into the net face-first along the ground after the ball like a paper aeroplane.

JL actually got concussed I think in that incident. Certainly had to be subbed. I'd like to venture. 1) Vs Sheff Weds at Walkers, promotion year. Keeper lets backpass under foot. 2) Steve Walsh vs Derby, play off final. Defender misses fairly simple opportunity for goalline headed clearance.

Leonisco Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Are we counting Frank Sinclair's 40-yard own goal against Boro as an "LCFC goal". If so, then there is nothing that could possibly beat it. EDIT - Beat me to it, TPH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 December 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December 2006 Frank Sinclair's own goal vs Middlesborough? Controversial. The list could end up half-made up of Mad Frank own-goal-o-ramas. I'd like to restrict it to goals we've scored if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 I found Dickov's opener against Arsenal after a jinking and marauding run from Frank Sinclair hilarious. They needed not to get beat, we were relegated (I think) and we went one up. Obviously they beat us though as we sat deeper than deepest deep.

Leonisco Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Muzzy Izzet's last minute penalty against Derby to win the game 3-2 when Robbie Savage dived and all their players went mental at him in the tunnel afterwards! :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez of Mahrez Posted 3 December 2006 Author Share Posted 3 December 2006 Gary Coatsworth having a Ronaldinho moment against Luton was pretty funny. Mainly cos I imagined the Luton fans going away remembering that and then seeing him next thinking to themselves, "oh shit, there's that guy who can score 40-yard howitzers into the top corner, better get someone to man-mark him."

Big trev's was funny as.. As with Jamie L, he was knocked out cold and didn't come around for about an hour, when he did, the birch was by his side and told him that it had been disallowed! funny goals scored against us (not funny at the time) was barmby's for everton at filbo a few years back. pool had picked up a back pass or something and was arguing with the ref and barmby just curled it in to an empty net! It was really funny how Pool made the worst effort to get back on his line you'll ever see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simi Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Controversial. The list could end up half-made up of Mad Frank own-goal-o-ramas. I'd like to restrict it to goals we've scored if possible. I was going to say the Preston goalkeeper that scored against Pressman. Shame But my vote goals for Ade's goal vs Sunderland (and celebration) Not only was it his first goal in ages. It was a complete fluke and possible own goal. Summed up his LCFC career really. I'm currently rambling my brain for some more and hopefully add some more. Great Thread BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 I seem to remember Derek dougan scoring one from a corner. He stood at the far post and just before the kick was taken ran around the back of the goal to the near post, leaving his marker bemused and flicked in the subsequent corner kick with his head. Mind you I sometimes wonder after all these years if I've dreamt this and other incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildave3 Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 There was one the year we went down, can't remember who scored but it was from a corner aganst Villa, and Sinclair pushed Schmeichel over while he was trying to save it.

Nationwider Posted 3 December 2006 Share Posted 3 December 2006 Gary Coatsworth having a Ronaldinho moment against Luton was pretty funny. Could someone set that goal to M-People's "Search For The Hero" and put it on YouTube. I want it for motivational purposes. Back in the late 80's, we twatted some team (possibly Man City?) 4-0, at The Old Ground. Their keeper, Perry Suckling, let in THE softest goal ever between his legs. The chump!

ThurmastonFox Posted 4 December 2006 Share Posted 4 December 2006 I remember the first season the pass back rule came in and Kevin Poole didn't know whether to pick the ball up or not, the opposition (can't remember who) promptly took the ball off his feet and knocked it in in front of the Kop. Poole looked a right ol' pillock and when i saw it on tv, it made me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
