Best solo/dribble goal?

[David Icke]

David Crown vs Wigan in the late 80s, picked up the ball on the half way line beat 4 or 5 and smashed it in top corner in front of the North Bank. That goal has never left my memory, still say one of the best I have ever seen and in doing so Crowny became and remains one my all time favourite Sufc players

I remember that goal too. Forgot the detail on it though, so thanks. Crown - often forgotten when we talk about legends, but his ability to beat players was awesome.

Seem to remember a Spud Taylor mazey run and goal from out wide that brought the house down.

Dad remembers a great solo goal by Tommy Tippett.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

Stan at home to Bristol Rovers, picked up the ball on the half way line with his back to goal, and a defender right behind him. Turned the defender, beat another couple and smacked it in the top corner from about 25 yards.

Typical Stanley goal really

... Man that was a great goal and in a must win match, as well!

Stan was brilliant but I am sure I remember him scoring an even better goal against Millwall at The Hall where he beat Rhino Stevens so easily he waited for him to catch up and beat him again before going on to score.

I looked for that on YouTube and couldn't find it. However, I also remember him running the whole length of the Millwall half only to put the shot wide. Not sure if one of us is wrong, or if we're talking about different occasions.

... I think this was one of those games ITV broadcast live, IIRC.

Scroll to 5:30ish, short Otto goal compilation has a few cracking strikes on there from his time at Blues. The solo goal at Swindon is just before 6:00.

Dont like him in the Birmingham shirt .

Peter Daley's goal vs Col U in 89-90. Great solo effort that effectively sent them down and kept our promotion hope alive. Also was my first ever away game.....

Don't remember Daley doing anything else of note with us but will always remember that goal

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

Dave Regis vs West Bromwich at home is one that stands out. Not much skill but just remember the power to sprint from the half way line and cool slot it home.

The one that sticks out for me is Eastwood against Oxford (I think) at Roots Hall during his first spell. Beat about three defenders, sold them a couple of dummys and then produced a brilliant finish to stick it away. Was a top class goal and I think it was at that point I realised he was really something special.

The video used to be on YouTube as it was in Scott's Freddy Eastwood tribute, but think he's taken it down!

If it's the same one that I'm thinking of, it was against Blackpool and he put Peter Clark on his arse.
Also for me, and I can't remember the game but it was Stuart Brace in front of the North Bank.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Eastwood against Blackpool at home when he ran all the way across the box and then fired in back in the opposite corner.

 

[EastStandBlue]

Eastwood's second against Swansea at the Liberty to send us up was so good it had half the home fans applauding.

Peter Johnson away at Col Ewe for me.....

Will always remember this goal, quite surprised that no-one has mentioned it yet! (video links below)

I wish I remember who it was against, but about 5-6 years ago The Moose rounded what seemed to be 481 players and smashed it in from outside the box in front of the South Stand. It was a bloody peach.

You should have mentioned it then rather than just posting a link. Are you Barna in disguise:thump:

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

How about Paul Byrne v Judas Iscariot's mob?

He must have beaten the full-back half a dozen times, tying him up in knots in the process, before shutting up that fat ****er.

 

[Angell Delight]

.....Great stuff and many thanks.

I expected him to still have the huge hairdo in the interview, though!

You're welcome.

And yes, slightly disappointing on the dreadlocks front..... :smile:

I dribbled when I heard Timlin had scored on Saturday
