Underappreciated Goals

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

allardyce right footer from a good 35 yards, think against orient

 

cantello v cambridge

 

whatmore v plymouth

 

loads by ricketts but if i have to pick one, the one at leicester when he dumped the centre back and nearly took the netting with the ball

Think McAteer scored a belter against Chester 5-0

 

Mcginaly away at Millwall was a cracker too

Johansen v Grimsby at home

 

Sellars v City

 

Pollocks v Tranmere was that goal 100?

 

Who scored a volley v QPR on the tele it was

 

McGinlay v Millwall

 

McGinlay v Wolves at Mollineux

 

From the oppo Jimmy Quinns for Reading was a peach

Thompson Qpr?

i was watching that 100 goals season video last night

 

some crackers in there

 

i don't think any of them are underappreciated though, I enjoyed most on this thread at some point

Mixu vs Swindon league cup semi. It gave me a semi.

Gudni's 80 yard screamer against Barnsley. If that was Ronaldo people would be dry bumming him.

Nolan's overhead against Portsmouth, was watching the game in the Happy Duck before our first ever UEFA cup game. Happy days! Think we moved into the top 4 with the win, I was leathered sat back thinking this is as good as it gets  

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

I always think this one when I think of goals that more should have been made of.  Sasa's mazy dribble as well.

 

I was also going to say Philliskirk's free kick(s) against Coventry but seem to remember a rumour of Michel Platini shortly thereafter stating he was the best striker of a dead ball on the planet.  In which case it probably wouldn't qualify for the category in question  :)

Without doubt,  the greatest free-kick of all time.  I'm still in awe.

Might have made this up in my head but seem to remember Jaidi scoring a cracking volley from a corner at the Reebok.

Anelka v Arsenal, cut in from left and a blockbuster keeper didnt see. He scored a few good 'uns for us but that was my favourite 

Underappreciated ? Ricketts at West Ham. Probably Offside. Untidy finish. Kept us off bottom at Christmas, and ultimately a couple of points above West Ham.

Ricketts at Stockport we were shocking but that goal was top top draw.

Ricketts at Stockport we were shocking but that goal was top top draw.

He also set up a goal that night IIRC with a textbook cruyff turn and inch perfect cross

 

County fans were joining in "Ricketts for England"

 

That turned out well didn't it

Frank against Ipswich.

 

Still the best goal I've every seen live

This

Ricketts at Stockport we were shocking but that goal was top top draw.

 

4-1 in the Cup, mid-january?

 

My birthday and Ricketts' last goal of the season.

Ricardo Gardener v PNE at Cardiff. Tackling their player in our half and just leaving them all for dead before drilling home. Spectacular are fine, but this was awesome :)

Frank Worthington away at QPR, scored from our own half. Long before Spice's bitch and the granny shagger.

Never seen a video of it.

Brownies at Bournemouth set everything in motion for the next 15-20.

Nolan got a few tbh, that bicycle kick, spurs, scum plus a few more

David Reeves equalising at Chester kick started that season and Julian Darby with the winner at home to Stoke finished off a great week that started with Brownies goal.

Gudni's 80 yard screamer against Barnsley. If that was Ronaldo people would be dry bumming him.

Aye just seen it again in the other thread.

David Lee against Norwich in the League Cup quarter final at Burnden.

 

Stelios against Everton in the 4-0 win at goodison.

 

Henrik Pedersen at home against West Ham. 30 yard toe bunger straight into the top corner.

Decided to watch the 2004-2005 DVD last night not watched any of our season reviews from that period for ages, they were the days didn't appreciate them enough.

 

Darren Ambrose for Newcastle at Reebok was one Ive totally forgotten about, bit of a run then a ridiculous 30 yard screamer into top corner.

 

Okocha's free kick on first day against Charlton was unstoppable

 

A couple from Stelios as well, the curler against Norwich and a really well worked one at Ipswich in the cup, when Pedersen got 2 and kept doing the peacock celebration which I always felt a bit embarrassed for him for doing.

 

Also remembered the scenes when Ferdinand made it 2-1 at home to United with surely the last kick...
