What's the greatest goal ever scored for the Albion in your opinion?

[Leosayer]

Gerry Ryan vs man city

 

[catfish]

Wardy v Swindon in '76 - he slalomed through their defence leaving several defenders on their arses in the area before slotting home. Pure magic.

 

[TheMajor]

"Greatest" as in most important ? - Robbie Reinelt vs Hereford
"Greatest" as in most exciting ? - Gary Stevens equaliser in 83 Cup Final - should have lead to us winning Cup.
"Greatest" as in most dramatic ? - Adam Virgo Play Offs vs Swindon.
"Greatest" as in best strike ? - Willie Irvine vs Aston Villa.

Nelson at Brentford.

Awww Nelson at Brentford, it all comes flooding back. 2 sides of the ground packed out with the Albion faithfull. Gary Nelson picks up the ball on the halfway line, beats 1, beats 2, beats 3 4 5, surely he'll pass it now? Cuts inside and curls it from just outside the box into the top corner. Cue gates flying open and several hundred fans on the pitch. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Failing that Vicente's goal at portman road

 

[pottert]

For me it's a no brainer because without it we would probably not have a team anymore

ROBBIE REINELT

I believe that even the fans that were not at Hereford that day still know where they were when that goal went in.

True pottert.

I was in The Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Street listening on the radio.

A good goal but probably not the greatest. However, I was in the South Stand right behind it and that meant we did 'the double' over the European Champions.

I went to the game at the City Ground that season. We won 1-0, we were totally outplayed but it was one of those games that you knew you were going to win.

Sorry for the nostalgia,the wine has taken a hold

for me that volley gary dicker hit against exeter was phenomenal, although there were plenty of other screamers from different players that matched it that season..
Or how about this moment of greatness from el abd! was so surreal at the time!

[Withdean and I]

For those who were there quite simply a day we will never forget so very much THIS

THIS

I was right behind it in the clock end at Highbury, totally rammed and probably the most exciting match ever. The joy of
The Seagulls reaching the FA Cup Final was mahoosive!!!!!!!!!

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

If you were at Griffin Park and witnessed the Nelson goal it is an easy question.Amazing scenes especially as we seemed to have half the ground!

 

[Quinney]

1st one that came to mind was Nelson at Brentford - was always a good day out, made even better with that run and finish.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Not his best ever but this one of Wardy's was pure class

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Just before my time this one. Anyone got a video clip??[Nelson at Brentford]

Sorry no, If you didn't see it first time round, you'll never see it, trust me not even Goldstone Rapper's got this, it doesn't exist.

Didn't Nelson also score a cracker away at Notts Co that season, or did I dream it?

Although I saw Nelson score many goals they were all at the Goldstone as I was too young to travel away then. Sounds like I missed the greatest Albion goal.

Thank you for the description, I was getting frustrated with posts just saying Nelson at Brentford.

Being a bit more realistic than asking for video footage, anybody got any still photos of this great event?

 

[The Wookiee]

Nelson at Brentford for me. If I remember rightly it wasn't only his amazing run and wonderful strike it was the amount of passes in the build up, every one greeted with a cheer.

Another vote for the Mark Lawrenson goal in an evening game against Wolves,picking the ball up on the edge of the the penalty box in the South and dribbling past countless Wolves players and sliding it past Bradshaw in front of the North Stand.
