Oh yes, City fans sucked that one in from behind the goal

The Holte end looked fucking good that day

I will second Jim Melrose v notts county, volley from just over half way line. Tragedy no video of it

 

[harold1899]

Forgotten about Jensen's goal. On a par with Melrose

Jim Melrose v Notts County

This 100%

But I have searched the internet high and low over the years for any T.V. footage and it seems it was never captured on film :(

Steve Mackenzie 81 cup replay. Fucking belting volley that doesn't get its just desserts because every fucker fell over or jumped out of the way and let Ricky Villa score.

 

[desperatedon]

Andy Morrison at Oldham.

3 Jim Melrose City v Notts Co
2 Matt le Tissier Soton away v Blackburn
1 Gio City v Soton

Loads - but best headed goal that sticks out was Dave Watsons header v Ipswich - circa 76/77

Mick McCarthy v the rags was a great header

Hinchcliffes was also great

Robinho v Arsenal was good, the chip

The best though for me was Kinky v Southampton

It wasn't a chip, it was a 'scoop'.

 

[Whitefield Blue]

I had a vision of this happening as the corner was about to be taken. I was about to shout "WATCH THE RUNNER!" but as I was 16 at the time I feared the back lash so said nothing and watched Lomas run and bury the ball into the back of the City net. As a result I no longer refrain from shouting at a football match.

Manchester City 1-2 West Ham United
FA Cup fourth round
Sunday 25 January 1998

Harry Redknapp's West Ham avoided a potential cup upset at Maine Road, against a Manchester City side then battling against relegation to the third tier.

Though Eyal Berkovic put the Hammers in front, Georgi Kinkladze's brilliant individual effort put the skids under the visitors.

The Georgian midfielder slalomed through West Ham's rearguard, before beating Craig Forrest, via the inside of the far post. It might have got a whole lot worse, but Uwe Rosler skied his spot-kick over the bar, after Steve Potts had been penalised.

With the tie in the balance, it swung decisively in the Hammers' favour with quarter-of-an-hour to play, when former City employee Steve Lomas fired hard and low through a crowded penalty area to send West Ham into the last 16.

*£1000 to the first one who guesses the other City player in the photo.





*I'm lying

Never mind the future City player, what about the guy grabbing Lomas?............


























.....I think it's a player called Samasi Abou.

Macken past weaver at deepdale.

There was a goal that I just about remember Rodney March scoring at Maine Road where he juggled the ball in the air a few times, then brought the ball down, turned and smacked it into the net, so long ago though that I can't remember who it was against

It was December 72 v Southampton he scored 2 that day.

I could just about cope with Gareth Bale's strike at the ETIHAD, but when Peter Crouch volleyed past Hart at the Britannia, I started to wonder.

Thankfully it turned out ok in the end.

What about Ian "I just wellied it" Brightwell?

Danny "****" Mills v Everton at that stupid o'clock Sunday kick off. Match was also memorable for sir Joseph Twatting Phil Chuckle right in front of the Rev who ignored it.

I remember being at a FA cup match a few years ago I think it was against Leicester ended 4-2. Anyway Tevez scored a goal that made a mess in my knickers, I always enjoyed watching him play for us he gave 100% every time.

Paul Powers free kick vs Ipswich at villa park in the fa cup semi was a bit special.

 

[Bill]

Two against us.
Ross Berkeley and the fucking Ricky villa one.

Obviously most of the best over the last 40 years have already been mentioned. Joe Corrigan's returned to Maine Road with Brighton around 1984. Pretty sure Jim Tolmie's scored an long distance audacious chip against the great man. Thought it was brilliant myself.
