Best Albion goal you've ever seen in the flesh?

[getofftheropes]

Nelson..Brentford

Brighton v Nottingham Forest 1979/80 - YouTube

Absolutely completely ditto and this. Was situated in the East Terrace at that end so had a great view of it.
Although was at Highbury for THAT goal as well.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Bobby's chip vs Bury away

Bobby also did a superb chip at Wolves.

 

[kevo]

Nelson.

Brentford.

You know the rest...

Has anyone ever tracked down any footage of that? It's always mentioned as 'greatest Albion goal ever'... Stupidly didn't go even tho I was in London at the time.

My best would probably be Lawrenson's against Wolves in the 3-2 FA Cup defeat at the Goldstone, Jan 79. He ran virtually the entire length of the pitch to score. Class goal by a class player.

The goal on exactly one minute above. I forget who that was against but I remember the goal well! Especially the way the water just sprayed up off the net, amazing stuff.

Reading I think did them 3-1 that night magic darts!

 

[Stat Brother]

Stuart Munday v Leicester in a cup match.

The one were Case got sent off for being old.

 

[pornomagboy]

Virgo against leicester when we won 1-0 at the walkers stadium

 

[CaptainDaveUK]

BZ Wrexham away.

 

[OSRGull]

There's a few for me...

Dickinson at Huddersfield 7-1

I quite enjoyed Sparrows at Swindon.

Bennetts at Walsall away.

Mcleods at Northampton.

LuaLua at home to MK Dons.

Murray at home to Plymouth.

Murray at home to Tranmere.

Zamora vs Halifax.

CMS away to Burnley.

 

[APACHE]

Gerry Ryan, when he ran down the wing, cut inside and smashed the ball into the net after beating half the Man. City team at the Goldstone plus of course the Mark Lewrenson length of the pitch and scoring goal.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Vicente away at Ipswich.

 

[Grombleton]

For feeling, Buckley's 2nd v Donnie.

Harley's free kick v Peterborough last term was pretty good as well.

 

[Silverhatch]

1. Nels at Brentford
2. Paul Clark at Orient
3. BZ v Halifax

 

[Gazwag]

Famously it was never recorded. Nelson mentioned that in an interview i saw not long back though i forget where. Wish i'd been there, it sounded sublime.

A tie, Jimmy Case in the semi or Stuart Munday at Leicester in the League Cup

Having missed most of the worldys i'd have to go for Wilkins against Ipswich last minute of the season free kick in 1991 to smuggle us into the play-offs. Only Buckley's second against Doncaster, Leon Knight's penalty against Bristol City and Virgo's equaliser against Ipswich to keep us in the championship compare.

 

[catfish]

Wardy at home to Swindon in '76. Closely followed by Lawro against Wolves.

 

[studio150]

Gerry Ryan away at West Ham siimilar to Garry Nelson but against better quality team.

My personal favourites are Wilkins vs Ipswich and Nelson vs Arsenal (FAC4).
