A link on another thread showing Nolan's goal against Arsenal got me thinking . . . 

 

How many 'top' goals have been scored by unfashionable sides/players that, had they been Arsenal, Man U Liverpool etc, people would still be wanking themselves to death over?

 

Curcic's against Chelsea (IIRC) and Elmander's V Wolves spring to mind

 

Doesn't have to be Bolton goals mind

Nolan's volley against Blackburn was Van Bastenesque, shame we didn't win though.

Mixu v Reading at Wembely, the build up play is immense.

Was nt elmanders voted best ever premiership goal ?

Don't know, but if it was, fair play:)

I thought the other goal in that game v Wolves was better.

 

Can't remember who scored it, Holden maybe, great passing move and slid it into an empty net.

Got to agree. When you look at the height the ball came from and back over his shoulder. Best strike I've seen at the Reebok. Proper under rated. Technically superb.

Gary Cahill for Villa against Brum. Fucking belter.

Frank against Ipswich.

 

Still the best goal I've every seen live

Surely some of Matty Taylor's absolute rockets back in the day would be thought of as all-time great goals if someone like Rooney or Messi had scored them

Was that the moment you convinced yourself we were going to win the league? :-)

Dean Crombie v Torquay....can't have been many better  goals at Wembley

Petrov to make it 4-2 against Spurs when they were threatening to pull back a 3-0 lead.

Sams header against Sunderland is the best header I have ever seen.

Mark Davies' late equaliser against Blackpool in 2010.

Tony Caldwell screamer away to Bournemouth in 1986. (we ended up down to 9 men and losing 2-1)

Eidur Gudjohnsen winner v Charlton in FA Cup Quarter final of 2000

Nicolas Anelka's first league goal for Bolton in 2006

John McGinlay v Middlesbrough at home in the Burnden Premier league season in 1995.

Sams header against Sunderland is the best header I have ever seen.

Stuart Hall's comment was 'He hit the ball like a flying wardrobe'

 

Great game - last really big crowd at Burnden?

Tomos first goal for us at burnden.outside of the left foot beauty....

This was the one I thought of as soon as I read the OP.

Something like 8 one touch passes from one end to the other.

Extraordinary goal.

JayJay freekick against villa in the league cup semi!! What a goal that was!

Tomo at Anfield.....& in the coca cola cup final

Brownies goal at Bournemouth, that set up the Hull invasion

Crackin long range header, you'll not see better

 

 

 

 

Jimmy Phillips in the 5-1 against Wolves in 1995. That moment has got a lot to answer for the next 19 years' worth of events and spending for me!

Gudjohnsen vs Wimbledon

 

That McGinlay goal vs Boro was a pearler.

I genuinely thought we had a chance.

 

The lads still take the piss out of me to this day haha

 

We'd just dicked Spurs and Newcastle at Reebok IIRC and we were playing some great football.

 

Those were the days.

Brownies goal at Bournemouth, that set up the Hull invasion

If ronaldo woukd have flicked the ball up and set his mate up like McAteer did that night they would be showing it for years.

 

What a move.

 

Chuck that in with Zico Kelly's goal at Wigan.
