Ian Brightwell V The rags

 

[lancs blue]

Im hoping someone can help me here as i was only a young boy when trevor francis scored a stunner,
I was with my old fella whos passed away, so i cant ask to confirm.
I think it might have been his debut, 1982 v wolves? Hit a beauty from way out that went over the keeper.
Not 100% though...

It wasn't Trev's debut, that was at Stoke at the start of the season. The Wolves goal was at Xmas 1981 a few days after we won at Anfield on Boxing Day. We went top of the league after the Wolves win, I remember all this because I was ill in bed over Xmas, missed both games and never saw Trev's goal as it wasn't televised.

On topic, Jim Melrose and Cyrille Regis at Maine Rd have already been mentioned and would be up there in my top 10. Throw in these others too:-

Dennis Tueart's overhead kick in the 1976 League Cup Final
Steve Mackenzie's volley in the 1981 FA Cup Final replay
David Silva's goal at Hull last season
Yaya's goal in the League Cup Final last season
Kinky's solo goals against Southampton and Leicester
Aguero's finish from an "impossible" angle against Liverpool a couple of years ago.

I remember one where Trevor was running & it came over his shoulder & he just smacked it in from distance ? That's one of the best ever for me but I can't remember who it was against.

There was also one goal which never gets a mention in a low profile game v one of the Bristols. We had just scored & they gave the ball away from the restart. Peter Barnes picked it up, beat everybody who came near him, & scored. Even better than the Kinkladze one imo.

Best goal ever though, Rodney Marsh overhead kick vs QPR. On the chest, on the knee, flicked up above head height, smacked in. Late in the game, 1-0 winner.

That's a great shout, I should have remembered that one, it was against Bristol City, late 70s.

Tevez scored so many belters it's hard to pick.

Elano Free kick vs Newcastle.

Michael Johnson goal vs Derby Country was special.

Sergio's against Liverpool in the 2-2.

Admittedly not just for the skill involved but being lucky enough to be pitch level directly in line with the shot the second it left his boot to landing in the bottom corner
