Which goal made you go the most mental? (6 Viewers)

[DannyThomas_1981]

For me it was Boxing Day, Elland Road, Huckerby scoring the third (he terrorised the Leeds defence all afternoon) after we were one-nil down.

I ended up hugging a complete stranger and dancing in the aisles. Both very unusual events for me.

The future looked very bright for us at that time.

Maybe Preston in the JPT in the last minute. I think also Newcastle in the cup with a last minute goal was decent.

 

[Otis]

A few.

David Platt against Belgium in the 1990 World Cup.

Alan Shearer against Germany in the 2000 Euro's.

Regis's goal against Sheff Weds in the QF of the 87 FA Cup.

The 3rd goal (Garry Thompson?) Against West Ham in the 81 League Cup semi-final, after we came back from 2 down to win 3-2.

Preston, as Nick says.

Been quite a few when we have been losing and then turned it round to win.

Away. Gunnarson v Blackburn away in the cup, can’t remember which cup. I was pretty much where the video was filmed from.



Home was when Leon Clarke got that 90th minute winner against Preston in the JPT. Meaningless game really but two 90th minute goals when the Preston fans were giving it loads and I had several beers in me.

And Moldovan v Villa, but I was a youngster then and I much preferred the celebrations as I got older.

FA Cup 87 semi equaliser v Leeds - A spiritual experience! :happy:

 

[weecohawena]

Moldovan V Villa

Ndlovu V West Brom

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Hudson's against Tony Knapp and Southampton

 

[clint van damme]

Killers goal against Luton when we had to win the last 3 to stay up.
Went mental and when I started to calm down I was in the 18 yard box. Can't even remember going over the fence.
Wasn't at the previous game away to Stoke but by all accounts when Oggy saved the penalty it was off the scale madness.

Did the future really look bright? That was the bleakest season I remember (apart from the 3 relegation seasons) where we would have been relegated if it wasn't for a points deduction

From my available memory bank both late goals V Preston in JPT and Nouble V Gillingham in the return to the Ricoh.

 

[skysblue]

Ernie Hunt from Willie Carrs donkey kick against Everton 1970.

 

[Nick]

There were a couple of the comebacks from 2-0 down against Peterborough too

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Probably alcohol; induced - but George Thomas' goal at Wembley send me ballistic

Same! Have told my kids about the euphoria of that goal. I'm lucky enough to have seen Houchens header and the 4-0 battering of Liverpool but the eruption of relief and joy when Killer's strike hit the back of the net was immense. I think there was only about 14,000 there but noise we generated was unbelievable. I never doubted we'd beat Everton after that.

 

[coop]

Gunnarson fa cup against Blackburn had my to young lads with me picked them both up everyone screaming jumping around wouldn't like to try and pick them up now.

 

[italiahorse]

The donkey kick by Ernie Hunt.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Clarke JPT is easily my best Ricoh moment.

Moldovan at Villa was brilliant as we'd missed a few chances and felt like the same old story

This season went mental at Lincoln

The first 2 goals against Wolves in THE match at Highfield road.

Only times I have ever run on the pitch (and that includes my playing days...)

 

[rondog1973]

Dublin v Liverpool last minute winner at Anfield 1997.

We were down the front getting ready to exit when we won a corner. The stewards were crouched around the perimeter, one of whom - only a young lad - we were winding up saying to him if this goes in, we're on that pitch!

Que goal and grass stained knees when rugby tackled by said steward.

Wasn't there but when Ian Painter missed the pen v Stoke remember going mental listening on the radio at home.

Good points Fernando and well taken. Just looked up that actual game again - we were 1-0 down and then scored 3 goals away at Leeds (who were a big deal at the time) within 10 first half minutes. That's why I went mental. And Huckerby was sensational. I guess my feeling at the time was that given the players we had on the pitch: Whelan, Hucks, Dublin, McAllister was that this was the launchpad to future success. With the right manager and with the budget that we had back then - it should have been so much more.

 

[Tommo72]

Jesus too many to write about but:

Elland Road - Ndlouv belter into the top corner, we were on the side, looks brill on screen, about 1,000+ Cov fans going mental

Goals at Wimbledon with the famous pitch invasions in the late nineties

Gary Mabs knee at Wembley when I was 14

List could go on but there have been plenty of times when I’ve lost legs and arms and almost had a heart attack after Cov scoring....

Good Times and tbh it beats marriage, sex, porn and steak hands down...

 

[Gosford Green]

Can not really pick one, so 5 in no particular order.

Moldovan v Villa (sat in the home end!)
Houchen v Leeds semi final
Gary Thompson V West Ham 1981
Regis v Spurs 1986 last minute header making it 4-3
Mick Quinn v Liverpool 1992

 

[bawtryneal]

Ernie and Willie
Moldovan at Villa
Houchen at Wembley
Misfud at Old Trafford (twice)

 

[wantageskyblue]

A couple of people have already called out 2 of my favourites - Gary Thompson (my 2nd Sky Blues hero after Ian Wallace) against West Ham and Nuddy away at West Brom in the Cup but my all time favourite was Peter Bodak away at Man City in the FA Cup in Jan 82. We were hanging on at 2-1 and they were all over us but a simple ball from Butterworth set Bodak off on a long run on his own from midway in our half and then he had the audacity to chip Joe Corrigan from the edge of the penalty area. Cue bedlam in the top corner of the Kippax and lots of unhappy locals.

 

[Marty]

Huckerby winner against man united.

 

[M&B Stand]

The Telfer and Froggatt away at Leicester in the Cup.

 

[skybluebeduff]

Huckerby winner against man united.

That's mine aswell, I still have a scar on my leg from when that goal went in, needed stitches too

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

Way too many to mention but off the top of my head and without looking at others above:
Boateng at Villa (both) Moldovan's I couldnt as I was in the Villa end.
Adebola at Blackburn in the cup.
Houchen at Old Trafford 1987
Dublin at Anfield when James dropped the ball in the last minute.
Phil Babbs against Wycombe to win on away goals (I think we lost 4-1)

I get those ,and had a bad one from the stoke win

does somebody come and kick you as punishment for celebrating?

 

[torchomatic]

Gynn's equaliser against Leeds in the Semi. Relief more than anything.

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Regis last minute winner againt spurs in the 4-3 win at home 86-87
One of the most exciting games ive ever seen and a great dress rehearsal for the cup final

 

[Liquid Gold]

When the third went in against Gillingham in the Mowbray season. I genuinely thought 'this is it, we've finally turned a corner, things are alright from here on in'. What a twat.

 

[CV22SBA]

1998 FA Cup 3rd round away at Liverpool and we won 3-1. It went mental all 3 goals.

Most likely. We are Coventry City. Used to punishment.
