Has a 19 yr old lad ever scored as good a goal at Wembley?

Confession to make, was in the City end that night (aged 16), and missed the goal, due to all the scrapping going in in the bottom paddock, where Spurs had got tickets in our end! (they must have had 50,000 plus at Wembley that night, not surprising, as they would have snaffled up those tickets made available directly from Wembley at the time).
Missing spectacular goals became a bit of a forte for me, I missed Jim Melrose's goal v Charlton at Maine Road from near the half way line, I was reading my programme when all of a sudden there was an almighty roar and the Kippax just went mental!
Thank God I didnt miss Dennis Tueart's overhead winner against Newcastle at Wembley to win the FL Cup Final, still my favourite City goal of all time.....

It was kicking off when the goal went in I missed it as I was watching the scrapping!
I was near the front of the upper tier behind the goal and a Spurs fan with a mohican punk haircut climbed up to be level with the City fans and was celebrating Spurs 1st goal - a City fan smacked him and over he went back to where he climbed from - I then saw Joe Corrigan freaking out, arms aloft and looked to the other end of the pitch and saw the players celebrating and we all went mad.
Was the next day when I saw this goal on TV...

Me too ... was busy trying to avoid the full beer cans being thrown down on us from the section above !! Remember driving home in a coach with most of the windows smashed bloody freezing! It really kicked off under wembley way after the game was pretty scary, sure there was couple of city fans stabbed!

Still think that goal is better than Villa's.
Here's Dave Bennett's shirt from that game;
