Another fantastic headed goal was Eric Laportes in last season’s League Cup Final -

A brilliant goal, the one he got at Brighton on the final day was huge as well

Tueart got hat trick we beat villa 4-1

Not only that but done in a fantastic Away Kit

Might not be the greatest header but Gerard weikens header away at Wrexham Boxing Day in 98 had a huge effect on our history that win was the kick start to get us in the playoffs that season... the rest is history.

For importance, Vinnie's against the swamp dwellers in April '12.

The night Bobby Manc put the pisscan tyrant in his box.

Ian Bishop v the Rags

You suddenly started to believe “we could win this” with that goal

Bishop’s long ball to White, White’s first time cross and Hincliffe’s bullet header just inside the box in front of an ever dwindling number of United fans in Platt Lane to make it 5 and he reminded them it was 5. No contest.

Blueprint said it was a good job he didn’t score the second!

I was sitting in Row 10 behind the goal.

I have never heard a header like that before. Rattled the goal on impact, too.

Unforgettable, even almost 45 years later.

2:08 in, if you don’t want the other highlights.

For technical perfection this is it it seems to me along with Mick McCarthys v Scum

A really old one. Bobby Kennedy vs Bolton, MR 1966 (?) Bullet header from edge of the box. Anyone else remember that, or has my addled old brain made it up?

That one escapes he. I would certainly have been at that match as I only missed the away matches at Cardiff and Norwich that season. Bobby Kennedy was something of an enigma as he was signed as a wing-half but played most of his later matches for City at full-back.

City paid £45,000 for him to sign from Kilmarnock. That was a lot of money at the time but I think that they eventually got good value from time over eight seasons.

If you're on about the confrontation on the touchline, wasn't that the LC sf, when Tevez scored and cupped his ears at Ferguson? Or am I finally losing it?
