Best Ever Headed City Goal

[old blue]

Back in the mists of time Bobby Johnstones diving header in the 55 final against Newcastle. I was only 10 at the time and I was convinced he was in the centre circle when he scored. There was not the plethora of clips in those days and obviously no means of watching highlights over and over. My elder brother finally convinced me I was wrong,
I have not spoken to him since.

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.

Here's the signed ball from that header.

Best I ever saw was Dave Watson header against Ipswich, 2mim 5 sec if you wanna go straight to it.

Toss up between Dave Watson against Ipswich and Mick McCarthy against them.

Got to be Watson's. Best ever, hence the user name!

I was there for that,but for years until recently I'd convinced myself it was a night game against liverpool,unless there was a similar one against them too.

There was a similar Watson headed goal v Aston Villa at the start of the same season. Definitely a night game.

Powerful header from a set piece in front of the North Stand.

Whenever we had a corner I would always say "Bullet header, Vinnie!" One game, right on 45 mins, Silva taking the corner, and I didn't say it! But he bulleted it in. De Gea no chance and the look on The Ginger Pig's face!

Vinny against rags. Wallop

Sounds more like the one I remember I was in that corner of the Kippax and a night game. Probably that one I'm thinking of.
