Favourite Swindon Goals

[kaufman]

I know most people have watched these clips lovingly put together by Swindon-Town-FC.co.uk, but seeing as we're about to start on a new era this certainly helped me to remember that there will always be new heroes at our club.

Mitchells diving header v Watford - a thing of true beauty

[Bert Heads head]

Don Rogers goal at Wembley (3-1) vs Arsenal, the only player on a ploughed field of a pitch to not have to wash his strip at half-time or full-time...

[@MacPhlea]

Have you seen the state of the pitch for Stroud's goal?

[THE FLASH]

Bout time old Rich put another batch on YouTube......

[Ardiles]

Prompted by the Hoddle discussion on the other thread.  The only goal I can remember that left me physically gasping for air.

[Bedford Red]

I remember going mad when this one went in, totally dominated the game but thought it was going to end 0-0 until Bodin got a last minute winner....

[Berniman]

Prompted by the Hoddle discussion on the other thread.  The only goal I can remember that left me physically gasping for air.

That was the one I was going to go for.  1st game of the season, scorcher!

[Ardiles]

I'd never spotted this before, but those early 1990s style baseball caps are something, aren't they?  Everybody seemed to be wearing them.

Rory Fallon Overhead vs City infront of the Town End

Parkin at Leeds (was the last action I and a few others saw of that game )

Maskell at Wembley - THWACK!!

Danny Invincibile vs Posh, epic.

Alan Reeves last minute header to make it 2-2 away at Wrexham, we celebrated that goal like we'd won the world cup or something! then walking back to the car mundanely chatting about 'good point that, we'll take that' etc.

Turbo's two at the manor to send the vile yellow filth down. In the pen behind the goal that day it all went a bit feral.

Jimmy Quinns direct free kick from inside the box vs Sheff utd infront of the bank in 1987. all eleven players lined up on the goal line, Quinny steps up and BLASTS IT into the roof of the net. Never any doubt.

Thats off the top of my head, great memories

I've missed a lot of the obvious ones so...


Barry Corr v Leicester at home- absolutely lost it, don't think it meant much in hindsight but at the time it was brilliant, one of those games where we did everything but score repeatedly and finally broke through

Billy Paynter v Leeds at Elland Road- the one from 30 yards that got him a 3 year contract in one swipe. Crowned the 3-0 away win, great day out

Aden Flint v Brentford at Griffin Park. I wasn't even there, but watching it in my friend's living room with 5 fans of other lower league clubs who cared far less. I went totally mental on my own and what came after barely mattered.

How has maccas equaliser against northampton not been mentioned? That is a fucking amazing goal, individually if nothing else.

Flint's third against Brentford made me jump so high I bashed my head on the ceiling, and it will live in my memory for a long while, despite the result of the penalty shoot out. That was a really special moment.

Fallon's bicycle kick against Brizzle Shitty is indeliblly stuck in my mind. As, weirdly, is Charlie Austin's bobbled miss against Millwall at Wembley. It's not a goal, but its equally important as any when you think about what has happened to the club since then.

[Berniman]

Austin Southampton away

Ward, play off at home against Charlton

Austin Southampton away

Ward, play off at home against Charlton

Yes and yes! Great moments!

Sammy Igoe scored a pretty special free kick in front of the Town End a few years back. We were playing Bradford, Parking had been sent off and it looked like the game was petering out in to a draw. But then in stoppage time, up steps the little man and rifles it in off the post from 30 yards.

This one. No contest for me. Remember it so well and I went absolutely mental.
