Rarely, Once I remember against Wisbech, have I ever cheered an opposing goal, but a few of them have been special. Not too many I remember.

Ray Wilkins in the Cup Final first match was a shock more than anything. How often did he score goals like that?

Another treated to stunned silence in a 34,000+ gates closed crowd was Ray Train for Rochdale against the Albion (like Ray Wilkins' goal). Trouble is it made the score 1-1 and Albion needed the draw to go up and Rochdale needed the draw to stay up, so nothing much happened after that.

Most be some more, but I have a selective memory. Ian Rush caused havoc in one match in a 2-2 draw.

remember that one well. believe john templeman scored the albion goal? i went to the rochdale away game the weekend before. great day out. ejected from ground before the game due to fans just walking in without paying, then thrown out at final whistle for celebrating on the pitch! mad days

remember on great goal but not the year. it was at home to swindon and it must have been around the time that they had reached league cup final. they beat us at the goldstone, trollope played and some guy hit an absolute screamer from some 35yrds into the north goal. think, but not sure, that swindon won 3-0 or 3-1

Two Notts County goals stick out. The one mentioned above was brilliant. I was part of the NSC sponsor team & we were giving the County directors loads of stick before that went it. They gave us loads back afterwards. It was a good laugh.

Ginger Tommy Johnson in the 91 play-off final was special too. Not the header, the other one

Trevor Benjamin for Cambridge at Withdean; a cracker from the corner of the penalty area.

I remember a Bournemouth player scoring a screamer from about 30 yards at the Goldstone (about 20 years ago).

I thought that was at Gillingham and Jamie Campbell scored the other?

Beat me to it Jimmy - the goal is somewhat overlooked with all the penalty shenanigans.
