That was very funny when Schmiechial crept up behind and scared him.
 
Don’t think it’s been mentioned yet but I’ll always remember Trevor Francis on his debut at Stoke. Wonderful individual goal. It was clear we’d signed a superstar and were about to take on the league!
There that day along with thousands of other Blues. Francis was brilliant that day, it was a shame only played 28 matches he was a brilliant all round centre forward.
 
I don't have a favourite goal because to me that's an impossible ask. There's also a lot of recency bias. But that was one hell of a goal. I didn't even applaud it. I didn't shout or scream. I just sat and absorbed what I believed I'd just seen.
But — to counter recency bias: very, very fond of Franny Lee against West Brom, Charity Shield, 1968. The slickest free kick I think I've ever seen taken. Nobody remembers it because unimportant match in the scheme of things. (Also, a lot of people on here weren't born when it was scored).
It is an impossible task, so many great goals and memorable moments.
