Dave Watson v Ipswich. I listened in on radio 2 and Peter Jones description befitted the goal . Great commentator and great goal.... Perfect combination

Remember that goal well . Ground went mental . So much relief when that ball hit the back of the net !

Gordon Davies header against Watford in the FA cup.

I was at that match, Futcher scored a perfect hat-trick that day, right foot, left foot, header.

Early 90s, another London team, City in white again, Niall Quinn did the same at Crystal Palace right foot, left foot, head..only 3:1 not 4:1 though this time (strange to think now, but winning at Palace early 90s was probably a more impressive result than Chelsea in the late 70s!)
As someone said earlier, great away kit that one at Stamford Bridge!

Agree about the kit, I've got the one Umbro released in 2009, still wearable too.

Terry Phelan scored a belting headed own goal for us at Anfield

Haven’t read through all this thread , but Colin Bell scored an amazing header , amazing for the height he jumped more than the power , never seen a clip of this goal ,if my memory serves me it was versus Newcastle at Mamie rd , does any other oldies here remember this??

Anyone not voting Vinny's Fergie Slayer hates themselves and brings shame on themselves and their families.

There should be a distinction between the quality of the header and the significance of it in terms of its influence on the season.

Dzeko (v Spurs away) and v QPR in May 2012 has a valid claim on both counts.

Vinny when he powered through Ferdinand to smash the rags.

First one that came into my head.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

my first reaction was McCarthy's against the Rags , but Vinnie's against the Rags was also up there , Dzeko's against QPR often overlooked because of 93.20 , all these goals well have been covered on this thread. Give a special mention to Wyn Davies only spent a season with us but the best header of a ball i have ever seen , he used to hang in the air and the power he generated was phenomenal , a shame he signed for the Rags to destroy any legacy he had with us :)

Vinny when he powered through Ferdinand to smash the rags.

He did it again to put City in front 1-0 in the derby near the end of the Centurions season. As he went up for the corner the tv commentator (Tyler?) remembered Kompany's goal that night and said "he likes headers against Utd doesn't he." Shame about the eventual result.

Yeah, was at that one. Biggest and shortest party ever.

Tommy Hutchison (without an "N" its not HutchiNson used to piss me off in the playground when people got that wrong!) Id never seen my dad react to a goal before that (or since) I was 8 and he grabbed me and I nearly hit the ceiling.
When people talk about that cupfinal we hear about Ricky Villas and Steve Mackenzies goals (not as much as Villas mind) but the quality of old Tommys header often gets overlooked.

(I should add I mean the first one!)

League Cup Semi-Final 1st Leg
14th January 1981
Kevin Reeves
The fucker was disallowed by the bent ref.​

I had sneaked in the Kippax in the under 14s queue though I was a week off being 16, the Kippax went berserk when Reeves scored, it took a good minute or so to realise it had been disallowed for a phantom push.

Ian Bishop in the 5-1, met at Hurley Sports a week or so before and he was a proper nice chap.

 

[why me? Blue Manchester]

Seen this topic discussed earlier today which got me thinking what was the best headed City goal you've seen ?

For me it's Mick McCarthy's v the Rags on 26th October 1986, the first ever televised live Manchester Derby.

Agreed
