...the goal I would most LOVE to have scored, is Robbie Reinalts, circa Edgar Street 1997.

THAT goal, described by RR himself, in converstaion with BrightonRockz...

Fifteen minutes played in the second half and Steve Gritt's last chance to change things around. Paul McDonald, virtually an ever present on the left side of Albion’s midfield that season, received the signal that he was coming off. Jeff Wood, Gritt’s assistant leant across to Robbie: "You’re going on Rob - just go out there and do your best.”
'I was so excited that I don't remember if he gave me any instructions other than that,' recalls Robbie. 'I was just desperate to play.'
Robbie had been on the pitch for just under nine minutes when Craig Maskell shaped to shoot from outside the area. Instinctively Robbie and Ian Baird started to accelerate towards the goal line in case Trevor Wood in the Hereford goal spilled the ball. But Maskell's effort screamed past Wood, thumped the base of the post, bounced back out and ran diagonally across the box. By now Robbie was in full stride and arriving on the edge of the six yard box.
‘It was a straight chase between me and Bairdy for the rebound,' says Robbie, 'and I knew that I was gonna win that race,' he grins. 'The ball just sat up for me on my left foot, which if I’m being honest isn’t my best so I decided just to spank it. From that range if you can get a contact then nine times out of ten you’ll hit the target so you just have to hope the keeper doesn’t make a save.'
Wood however was stranded, and before the net had even had a chance to ripple the Albion packed fans behind the goal, and in the Len Weston Stand to Robbie's left, knew that Brighton were right back in it.
'Yeah, luckily I hit it across the keeper,' smiles Rob. 'If I’d had time to think about it - and what that goal meant - I’d probably have ballooned it over the bar.'

Ronaldinho's vs. Chelski where he hit it with the outside of his boot and left Cech rooted to the spot.

Glenn Hoddle's turn and chip against Watford was rather special.
Oh yes. Especially that lovely little turn he does just before the chip, completely wrong footing the defender. I can't be the only bloke who tried replicating that entire move every time he had his back to goal just inside the penalty area. Pure class.

Could I try to score the one Gordon Smith didn't quite manage?

George Best's goal v Sheff U circa 1971. He picked up the ball wide left, ran diagonally across the pitch, left about 6 Sheff U players in his wake, before, from the corner of the penalty area, shooting diagonally into the net.
