Title: Great goals town players past and present Post by: 4D on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 10:32:50 Following on from the posts about great town free kicks, this popped up on my YouTube recommendations. He was at Palace by the time of this goal, but still good to see. 8)

Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Sippo on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 11:49:54 Define a great goal...
Was That Danny Invinicible goal a great goal because it kept us up?! Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 11:57:40 Define a great goal... Was That Danny Invinicible goal a great goal because it kept us up?! When, like Taylor's last night, a goal doesn't get you any points, then I think it detracts a bit from its value... The Fallon goal, got us a point v a despised rival, which adds to its provenance. Further I like it when a goal is framed by Town fans going ape, a terrace is good, Fallon's goal has that quality. This season, Keshi's late winner at Yeovil was decent. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Batch on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 12:08:12 Define a great goal... Was That Danny Invinicible goal a great goal because it kept us up?! I'm thought we were defining great as the individual/team skill in scoring the goal? Loads of defining goals have been brilliant and important, but not great in that definition (Invincible, RDV @ Northampton, etc).

Yep, agree. Although you can still admire the skill/artistryTitle: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: BambooToTheFuture on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 15:18:53 That Simon Cox goal v Walsall. Took it on the half volley after teeing himself up from about 25yrds.
https://youtu.be/Qy0YuNuPrhw (https://youtu.be/Qy0YuNuPrhw) Thing is, and i'm sure many of you remember, he's scored an identical if not better goal in pre season v Fenerbache; https://youtu.be/GXlINN4UHTs (https://youtu.be/GXlINN4UHTs) In the words of Alan Partridge. Footballllllllll! Gooooooaaaalllll! Back of the net, indeed! Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: 4D on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, 15:18:58 Hoddle's first for town...

Masterful explanation from Jimmy Hill about the order of the goals. Something which the current MOTD team would be entirely incapable of. ESL student Shearer would struggle without being able to mention a "he's entitled to go down there". The STFC greatest goals vols 1 & 2 are essential viewing when all things STFC related are not going too well. Preferably in work time and with the sound turned up. My two favourites are the Hoddle goal at Wembley and the keepy uppy one at Watford Also numerous reminders of how good the 03-04 team was, and under a much maligned manager as well. Couldn't find footage of the Kerrouche free kick against Southampton. Just something about the casual way he sauntered up and smacked it into the net. Class. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, February 15, 2018, 18:39:34 Kenny Stroud vs Everton in 1977 from easily 35 to 40 yards put.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsauHgNCz_g Marlon Broomes vs Birmingham in 1997 was also a cracker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJDKfR6UwHI 53 seconds in, probably better than Strouds goal IMO, not bad for a centre back that only scored 5 league goals in his career of 250 games. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey on Thursday, February 15, 2018, 18:51:13 It’s a bit sobering to realise how many of those goals I actually saw live. Still reckon that Matt Taylor goal was the best free kick goal - and he likes a celebration don’t he!

Still reckon that Matt Taylor goal was the best free kick goal - and he likes a celebration don’t he! I agree about Matts free kick, never seen one hit with so much power and accuracy, yes we have had some cracking free kick goals over the years but that was perfect. The keeper saw it all the way and still couldnt get near it.Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, February 15, 2018, 18:59:24 Craig Taylor scored a screamer on debut v Saturday's opponents. 3:42 in for those not inclined to revisit a time when we actually looked half decent for a few weeks...
http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19980110 These occasional long rangers from distance by a centre half are all well and good, but relatively recently I've come to appreciate, the proper goalscorers art, the sort of thing that looks really easy, but clearly isn't, as Luke shows on a regular basis. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: THE FLASH on Thursday, February 15, 2018, 21:12:07 Taylors goal was class and up there with Guernsey's Roberto Carlos effort at Leeds.

I think the true test of ability is one on one's. You have a special bread of players that have a strikers instinct, but I think being consistent at putting it past a keeper in a straight through one on one shows whether or not a player has the combination of a skill set and mental fortitude. You'll get players who rely on instinct and suffer in a one on one and you also get those that over think it and suffer. Yes Long Range ones look amazing, but even with a half decent skill set you will get the odd one struck just right. Great team moves are good as well. There is a move in the Sunderland 1990 Play Off final with something like 20 odd passes. In commentary Malone just reverts to calling out the last name of each players as it moves along - I think Foley misses in the end. Such a shame I;ve always thought, especially as McLoughlin's goal goes in off Bennett's bum. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: sir windon on Thursday, February 15, 2018, 22:26:16 Craig Maskell impressed me with his coolness at one on ones when he turned up. I think one of his early goals at Molineux was a pleasant surprise in the ease of it's execution. I'd not seen a striker as convincing in that scenario until then.

While I agree, are we not getting into the world of "Great goalscorers" as opposed to "Scorers of great goals"? Yes i'm aware some players are fortunate to do both. Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney, Bergkamp, Cantona etc come to mind. The England Euro 96 team goal v Holland was a class example of a great team goal. Owen's goal v Argentina was also a stunning individual effort, probably not the goal itself but everything he did to get the chance to was sublime. Gazza in 96 against the Scots was another and obviously Hurst's (Wolstenholme moment) v Germany is another.

I'll offer.....The Don, for Palace v Manu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3QRi_oQ9mU and Charlie Austin v Soton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXRH9spWOA4 Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: RobertT on Friday, February 16, 2018, 01:30:04 I'm not sure Austin was a consistent one on one guy as opposed to just having the goalscorers instinct. Don is a great example, consistently doing the same thing and nearly always coming out on top. Flip it the other way, it is why Schmeichel was always so good.
You just have players who never look like missing one on one and others who you have no confidence in. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: OOH!

Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Red Frog on Friday, February 16, 2018, 14:41:16 Did anyone actually end up posting the Evans and Gurney free-kicks. For the record:
@0:16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5VyVWCBoAY @5:45 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLRG8t0Sux0 I think Taylor beats Gurney's. Neck and neck with Evans - not so far out, but beat the keeper without any element of surprise. Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, February 16, 2018, 15:00:08 I don't think anyone has mentioned the Igoe free kick v Bradford City to win a game 1-0 with 10 men into the TE. Quality stuff SSP had got a red, after handbags with the keeper, and someone form the TE jumped out to have a word about it.

Title: Re: Great goals town players past and present Post by: Wobbly Bob on Sunday, February 18, 2018, 10:09:24 When it comes to heading a ball, we've had a few players with 50p shaped heads.
But there have been some memorable headers. Greer v Norwich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ6QmP5Zeto Fjortoft v Norwich (12mins in) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sq6k5ANzStY Shaun Taylor. The Maskell one was pretty good as well. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgCKc7MCDDo Seem to remember Duncan Shearer twisting and arching the neck for a great one against Portsmouth in the FA cup, 1989.
