Best Ever Headed City Goal

Just thinking that can’t be right cos wolves wear black shorts, getting mixed up with the Arsenal 3-2 win when we def wore black shorts. Fairly certain we beat Wolves 4-2 though

Was it the Tueart hat-trick match at Wolves which ended 4-1? Edit: No as seen in the video above.
 
Looks like it's unanimous for Big Dave Watson and I agree.
I was directly behind with my brother it as it was thunderbastarded into the net!
What you have to remember is the importance, as we were chasing the league title and Ipswich were one of our challengers and they had a top team in those days.
Great memories!

I was there too with my dad and granddad in the Platt Lane. What a team. IIRC we lost away 2-1 to Ipswich and had perfectly good equaliser disallowed. The draw at home to Liverpool too on the ice rink. Last min og by Watson. Peter Barnes’ chip over Jennings, still one my all time fave goals. Going to Maine Rd as a kid and watching that team. Magic.

Superb that chip. How many players ever chipped Jennings?

I think Barnes sat Jennings on his arse in consecutive seasons at Maine Road. The first time Jennings was playing for Spurs and then for Arsenal.

As someone has already said, what a team that was.

Here's the Spurs one at around 2 minutes 45 seconds...

A diving header by Johnny Crossan v Huddersfield on New Years Day 1966. There were over 47,000 in Maine Road for that match, City’s biggest crowd in years.

A photographer behind the goal managed to catch it just right with Crossan in mid air. That snap was plastered all over the papers the next day.

The return match at Leeds Rd. was also rammed. We and Hudds fought out the title for much of that season.
Crossan was superb for us in that promotion year, even tho' he was approaching the end of his career. He had an amazing personal story which included a life ban for standing up to the mafia who ran Irish football in those days. Worth looking up.
 
Quinn v Schmeichel at Maine Road in the game we were 2 up at HT and lost 3-2
think it was his second goal that night
 
Too lazy to trawl back through 10 pages, but I'm assuming my two nominations have long since been nominated.
1. Big Dave against Ipswich. What a bullet of a header. And, not far behind....
2. Mick Mccarthy against the unmentionables. Both at the North stand end of Maine Road.


Younger BMers, ask your dads about Maine Road.
