Best / Most Memorable goal you’’ve scored

[Fridge]

Not proclaiming to have played to any level but conversation came up in the bar.

 

I have two, running away from goal the ball should not have came anywhere near me, hit a back heel on the volley and it went clean in the top corner.

 

My favourite though was a completely random game. We were utterly pish but 1-0 up the whole game. The other team equalised with about 1 minute to go. I’d pulled cramp and was totally fucked. Somehow managed to get up the park, boy nailed it off the crossbar and it fell to me to sidefoot home from 15 yards. Wasn’t spectacular but still remember it. Ref blew full time.

A pen at Burghead in the latter stages of the Scottish Junior cup that won a lot of people a lot of money.

I’m not exactly Raheem Sterling, more like Robbo, but I’ve got a howitzer of a shot.

 

Scored a Zidane (2001) esque volley recently.

 

Plus running through 1-on-1 with the goalie; far out, did a delicate chip over the head.

Unusually subtle for moi

[tightbreeks]

1-1, v our nemesis, Tall Oaks, under the flood lights in a midweek match. 5mins to go and cracked one into the top right from the corner of the box. These were the days when sime folk wore cycling shorts, thinking that pro's were sporting the same gear. And it might have been only continental Europe had stantions. So the ball rattled a few times off that v that stuck out of each top corner. They were mad afterwards. Next time we played them someone man-marked me all game. Loved those late summer, start of the league games. Pitch in great nick, with stripes. Under 16 i think it was.

[tightbreeks]

I mind the manager shouting "ma wee beauty" we got a lot of mileage from him coming out with that beauty. Umbro strips sponsored by sanyo?!? Fuk knows why.

[The Cockney Don]

Probably the best i scored was same distance, same technique as this one.

But in off the post which must have made it look better.

Genuinely one of my favourite stories

[The Cockney Don]

Scored a proper hat-trick once.

Same lad assisted each goal of mine, best player on the park he was.

He died in a car crash a few years later, must have been 20/21 years old.

About to say the same thing

Was that the game that bankrupted a couple local bookies pretty much?

[tightbreeks]

Thatvmark Hughes goals was ike negretes for Mexico in the 86 world cup. Hughes scored a peach in the cwcf against Barcelona. One of those that goes in a foot above the ground on an angle of doom.

More details needed...cup upset or ....

Scored plenty of crackers in my day - the one that sticks in my mind (from back in the day) was a Maradonaesque mazy run from my own half in Summer League (circa ‘96-97) riding tackles - older cunts trying to chop me down, then rounding the keeper and slotting it cooly in the net. The auld mannies who were watching always reminded me of it when I was out in the pubs out the road

 

The best was only a couple of years back - playing in a tournament for charity - 25yd overhead kick in to the corner. Won player of the tournament out of 200 players (inc Doug Rougvie)

 

Reaffirming that I’ve still got it

 

Edit to add - another memorable one was scoring the winner in a final (circa 2009-10)at that pitch with the stand (Keith Park?) In Bridge of Don 1-1 and the last couple of minutes, long ball played diagonally from the left back to me on the right wing, ran on to it and lobbed the advancing keeper from outside the box, prompting wild scenes

 

It was 3-2, and we were 2-0 down at half tine. The rest is true though.

[Pash]

Could easy have been - those were my heavy(er) drinking/drug days

 

I will trust your word

 

The date correct?

 

It was 2-2 then you scored in injury time to win it 3-2 was what I meant.

 

I think it could have been earlier than that.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

Not many goals from sweeper but the most memorable was one of my last. Coming onto a knocked out corner as the defence rushed out. Feigned to lash it (as I usually did - straight into the river behind the goal) but on this occasion dinked it over the onrushing defence and caught it on the way down wife beating geordie style past the keeper, sweet as a nut. Glorious.

The Spanish defender properly tries to hurt Mark Hughes as he hit that volley! 

[StandFree1982]

Scored the winner at Pittodrie ‘95

 

Can even remember the team we played - Portnockie (whoever they were)

 

Willie Miller wasn’t happy signing my Head school bag

 

The night before I’d had a house party and a fight with my dad when he came home - after he broke down the bog door where I was sleeping (and had soiled myself)

 

Why was Willie Miller trying to break into your bog? 

[Pash]

I don't think I've scored a best goal, they have all been tap ins.

 

Most memorable one would have to be back in primary school days. At Tullynessle we had a tiny school of around 25 pupils in 3 classes, and in 98 we got to the holy grail of primary football which was the Alford final, unfortunately against Alford (featuring Dave Booth). We got absolutely pumped 7-1 or something but I scored the last goal straight from kick-off after thinking fuck it. Blootered it into the bottom corner from a few yards into the opposition half (which was probably only 25 yards back then). There was a big crowd as everyone stays to watch the final and it got a big cheer as everyone hated Alford (they were the biggest school) so sticks in the memory. We went on to win it the next year for the first time which was quite an achievement as I was the only P7 boy in the team. We also beat Alford 2-0 en route to the final, both scored by moi.

That sounds like a goal I witnessed. Was down seeing my mate playing at Hazelhead pitches one Sunday. Must have went out for a throw in so I turned round to see what was going on in the other pitch.

 

Right back got the ball ran basically the length of the pitch and nobody to cross to so just melted it and the thing flew into the top corner like a missle.

 

Everyone including him was basically in shock. Fair play if it was someone on here, one to tell the Grandkids.

[dazzy_deff]

Two best goals.

 

Lobbed the keeper from the half way line against Banchory.

 

Cracker against bridge of don - outswinging corner from our right hand side I met it on the half volley and hit it across myself into the far top corner. Screamer.

 

Most memorable ones. Scottish cup 2nd round which was local. I'd been dropped (probably first time ever) and we were losing 3-0. Came on at half time, 5 mins later scored a penalty. Ended up scoring a hatrick, setting up the other two and winning 5-3. Got man of the match and set up an away day.

[The Oxford Don]

A ball coming out to me from a corner, Im 10 yards outside the area,on the right side of the box , smashed it into the left hand top corner of the net.The thing I remember about it most is the sweet as a nut ,clean strike, and watching the ball, from behind, which seemed to accelarate as it got nearer the goal. Absolutely no spin on it either.

 

I was 14 at the time as well and Id always tried to recreate that shot over years without getting anywhere near it. 

 

A sweeter ball I have not hit.

 

Sounds like one similar to I scored when I lived in France and used to train with the local juniors team. Ball broke to me at the edge of the penalty area and without even thinking about it I just smacked it on my left foot and it flew into the roof of the net at the keeper's near-post - boy was an ex-pro and he looked in a state of shock, muttering that he couldn't have stopped it even if he'd been standing on the post. 

 

Chances of me ever being able to replicate that strike - less than zero.

Best goal for me was in 96,just moved to Crawley and got a trial!,went well and signed for them and on the 2nd game,we were getting beat 2-0 half time,played as a striker and the winger burst through on the right,wee defence splitting pass for him rounded the keeper,1-2, then about the 80th minute our mid flicked the ball on to me to run on to it,the big athletic defender was on ma arse so just had to hit 25-30 yards out,flew in the top right corner, was a thing of beauty, Happiest of times

[Zeus]

A tap in against Purple Haze at the goals Thursday night league in 2002.

[strachanmcgheegoal]

I say that to all the young loons I see at training - to treat every game as if it was their last. They acknowledge this wise old timer, and then fuck off to their pubs, hoor shops and pill parties. Lucky bastards.

[thedandydon]

Overhead scissor kick during a game of world cuppie doubles at the local park circa late 90's. Sadly no Dons scouts were in attendance to witness.

Silly Question... I wis a goalie,and a good one at that.

Will give you the benefit of the doubt that this actually happened.

 

Amazed we haven’t had a goal stopping tackle, proceeded to nutmeg six players before flicking the ball up and scorpion kicking into the net from

40 yards yet.

Must've been at the old stadium. Might've been there

[Torry Tosser]

Did you play for Torry?

 

And spit on folks faces at corners? (Mink behaviour)

 

Made a fool out of you a couple of times, if so
