I have seared in my mind a bullet header scored by Gerry Armstrong from near the edge of the box into the North Stand goal at the Goldstone circa 1986. I can visualise it so well from my vantage point on the West Stand, even though i was just 12 at the time, half a lifetime ago.

God knows how my memory stands up to reality, it may not have even happened at all, but regardless that will always be the best headed goal i have ever seen.

Gerry had ridiculous heading power. I remember watching in awe as he easily headed the length of the whole church hall that Junior Seagulls training was held in on Newtown Road!

Does Calde's face count as a header?

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Seen most of the goals quoted here, and, i'm giving Cullip the title of our best ever header, with Ferguson in second.

As other people have mentioned, John Byrne at Liverpool was great.

Honourable mention to Paul Wood who scored a great diving header at the Goldstone against Wigan (i think it was Wigan? Might be wrong).

Maskell 2nd against Leyton Orient in the 4 all.

I was hoping someone else would post this. Absolutely brilliant diving header from a (Storer?) whipped cross on the break.

Paul McShane at Palace

Both Cullip (Chesterfield) and McShane (Palace) were emotionally exciting but both were deflected and not net breakers.

Johnny Byrne away to Liverpool in the FA Cup circa 1991, in front of the travelling hordes.

ABSOLUTE LIMBS

My favourite Albion away experience.

In the depths of my memory i remember Zamora scored a great headed goal. Trying to think where.

Is this the cullip one?

Welbeck at Stamford Bridge in the last minute. Great header under pressure from two centerbacks.

May not be the best header technically but epic timing and scenes in the away end.

I was 11, it was the most exciting thing ever, at the time. 1-0 up against Manure

I still hate Manure.

Great header and superb drama vote goes to the late Virgo equaliser on aggregate against Swindon in the playoff semi-final at a very wet Withdean 2004.

In it goes...
