It was an absolute peach, the way he found that space was just exquisite. Such a great football brain.

Murray must have scored a few gems, his positioning and touch were superb, just didn't always get the right service.
The Hawk begs to differ.

Romain Vincelot against Coventry 2011/12 season should be in the mix as far as headed goals go.
Remarkably the highlights are still available via the BBC
Good headed goal against us by Gary Gardner, shame he never looked capable of that in a Brighton shirt.

Brighton 2-1 Coventry
An own goal from Richard Keogh and a strike from Romain Vincelot secure a much-needed win for Brighton over Coventry.

Ulloa's goal is in the same category as Murray's v Birmingham, in as much as they are emotively great goals rather than a technically great header (although Murray's was also a great header to be fair). Ulloa's goal as a header was nothing special, but what it meant was absolutely immense.

You’re not imagining it. It was Chesterfield at Withdean. The game where Atilla played musical gems such as ‘I faught the Law’ on the tannoy in tribute to Cheaterfield’s points deduction.

I seem to recall Steve Piper scoring against Millwall sometime in the 70's with a bullet of a header from just outside the penalty area. I could be misremembering though as I was only about 14 at the time. I would put that above Fergie's header against Leicester but not by much

Off the top of my head (no pun intended) Andrew Crofts smashed one in off the bar once at Withdean. I loved that one.

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.

Lee Steele's injury-time header on Easter Monday, 2002 for a 2-1 win over Bristol City is one forever etched in the memory. We'd been pegging Reading back in League Two all season, and this win allowed us to finally overhaul them and go on to win the title. I was in that daft little stand in the corner for my first and last time. Only place I could get a ticket. Thoroughly wretched view. Apart. From. THAT. Goal. Damn near had a heart attack when that one went in! 
John Byrne's diving header at Anfield in the cup in 1991 to equalise after 2 nil down felt much better tbh.

Ulloa's late winner at Leeds, the year before that Forest goal (the game with 3 sent off).
