Most painful goal in a City game

Owen. Ugh.

For some reason thought of this one instantly without even thinking of any others. Any derby late winner for them stings, Scholes and this year after leading etc. Rashford offside goal as well is a good shout. Drawing level on three occasions and those Bellamy goals were sublime.

I was in a sports bar with barely any blues in it and walked outside in about the 93rd minute as nerves were too frayed. Turned to my old man as I was walking out and said 'They're going to score here, I know it'. Few minutes later the place erupted, rolled my eyes outside knowing the fucking rags had scored again, walked back in and drank about another 10 pints to console myself.

Another one being Rooney in the 2009/10 League Cup semi final. Made me sick to my stomach.
 
I cant remember who we were playing now, but it was the season we were relegated when Joe Royle was our manager.

There was a 50:50 tackle somewhere near the halfway line, and the ball looped up and ended up in the goal with Nicky Weaver floundering like a fish out of water.

I don't blame him at all, but it summed up the bad luck you have at times when you are struggling, and that was the moment I accepted we were going down.

Was that Charlton at home? Lost 4-1? Think it was Huckerby's debut.
 
Most painful? Well, it was the first of many, I guess. My 9th happy christmas didn't last long:-

Jeff Astle, Boxing day 1968.
This 9 year old boy was in the 44k+ crowd.
City were 2nd in the league.
Lost 3-2 at home and Jeff Astle scored the winner in the 88th minute.
I thought, "That's it; we'll never win anything!" after we'd been on the up for 2 years of my City supporting career.

What a Christmas come down that was! Just looked up the details - probably lost coz King Colin didn't play.

Apparently, it was John Clay's second and last start for City and also Stan Horne's last one as well, according to Stat City, but another website has the teams listed as follows, with Stan Bowles in there instead of Clay.

Feeling a bit "Don Maclean" - I can't remember if I cried but I remember feeling devastated.
And, what about that referree's name - Mr R Spittle!!! Anyway:-

attendance 44,897

scorers
City Lee(60), Summerbee(75)
West Brom Astle(28 & 88), Brown(37)

Ref R Spittle​

City Mulhearn, Book, Pardoe, Horne, Heslop, Oakes, Lee, Bowles(or was it John Clay), Summerbee, Young, Coleman – sub Cheetham(45)

West Brom Osborne, Colquhoun, Williams, Brown, Talbot, Fraser, Krzywicki, Kaye, Astle, Hope, Clark – sub Lovett(76)
 
Real Madrid's second goal at the Bernabeu in the 2022 semi final in the 92nd min (just after their 90th min equaliser) was an absolute gut punch, I couldn't believe it, and this was underwritten with gnawing dread that extra time was going to be the finishing blow.
 
Didn't cost us anything in terms of trophies, but one that sticks in my mind is a Richard Dunne OG vs WBA. Was the back end of the Keegan Era, one nil up with only a few minutes to go and the ball gets played over the top, comes on Dunne and rolled past James and into an empty net infront of us. Finished 1-1 and WBA hadn't even had a shot on target.
 
Gary Speed penalty for Bolton a season later also still pisses me off. We hit the woodwork about a half dozen times, ball goes down the other end right at end of the game, someone lifts it over Dunne he hand balls it, 0-1. Sickening
