Nominations For Top Ten Goals Ever!

[Brighton Breezy]

Please nominate your favourite goal ever by a Brighton player with a brief description of it and why it was so good.

A poll will follow to find the top ten (in order The Large One ).


I will kick us off:

Leon Knight's diving header at the start of last season, great ball in and the little fella got in where it hurts. Not the best Ive ever seen but laid to rest the fears I had about losing Zamora.

 

[The Large One]

BBBUUUURRRRPPP!!!

 

[Dawsey]

Zamora's goal against Halifax. Ball comes over his head and he hits it first time at an acute angle.

 

[Windy Miller]

Gotta be Jimmy Case's freekick in the '83 FA Cup Semi....top drawer!!!

 

[the right footed denilson]

bobs lob against bury

 

[Eddie the Seagull]

My top three that I have witnessed.

Wilkins V Ipswich in 1990/91 - Playoff @ Goldstone

Case V Sheff. Wed 1982/83 - FA Cup semi @ Highbury

Storer V Doncaster 1996/97 - Last game @ Goldstone

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Boring.

 

[The Large One]

Garry Nelson v Brentford 1987. Never bettered. End of.

 

[sams dad]

Adam Virgo v.Swindon 2004
Just for the Adrenalin rush that followed.I was still buzzing hours later and didn't sleep much .

 

[Kryten]

Robbie rienelts against Hereford - Simply because it kept us in the league

 

[Albion Edd]

Adam Virgo v.Swindon 2004
Just for the Adrenalin rush that followed.I was still buzzing hours later and didn't sleep much .

I agree with that for the same reasons

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Stuart Tuck against Rochdale (or someone equally insignificant) in first year at Priestfield. We were so crap, it was nice to have something to laugh at, spanked it from about 40 yards, took a huge deflection and spooned over the keeper Paul Parker style. Glorious. That and Bobby against Halifax.

 

[Strike]

Adam Virgos goal as well in on that wet evening in May 2004.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Virgo again for the rush after

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Chippy's goal against Sheff Wed last season was fantastic.

Stuart Munday away to Leicester in the Coca Cola Cup a few years back

 

[Easy 10]

We need to make a distinction between "best goal" and "most crucial goal" methinks. Reinelt, Virgo, Strorer, Smith, Stevens...all names with glorious goals emblazoned upon the tapestry of Albions past. But none of those were aesthetically spectacular goals in themselves, they are only memorable because they were so crucial.

The BEST goal I have ever seen scored by a player wearing an Albion shirt was...Ian Chapman at Dean Court, Brighton Beach end around 1989. We caught them on the break from their own corner. Chapman went steaming down the middle of the park and arrived at the edge of the penalty area. The ball was crossed in from the left. Chapman controlled it on his thigh and in one movement executed a swivelling left-foot volley, crashing the ball past the despairing dive of the keeper into the corner of the net to make it 2-0.

Beautful.

 

[Braders]

Danny Cullip vs Chesterfield , 1st may 2001 79th min

enough said

 

[saafend_seagull]

Jones away @ forest
zamora away @ bury
brooker away @ orient (season when we won the league)

these are the 1s ive been 2 and can remember, cant really think back to other great goals, but ones for the occassion obviously reinelts, virgos, cullips etc.

 

[GNF on Tour]

Gary Williams against Forest feckin years ago.

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Garry Nelson v Brentford 1987. Never bettered. End of.

No other goal comes close. Boxed in on the left hand touchline, a turn and a run that cuts through the entire Brentford team like a knife through butter, finished by a blistering 20+ yard drive into the top corner. It's tragic that no film of it exists.
