Was nowhere near the best goal I've seen, but for sheer enjoyment factor it was hard to beat Stalteri's goal at Upton Park in the 3-4 win, especially since we had been 2-0 and 3-2 down in the match. Seeing Mark Noble crying tears of pure misery at the final whistle is definitely my favourite ever moment of schadenfreude as a Spurs fan, and you can't put a price on that for enjoyment.
The other candidate for "enjoyment factor" was scored by one of my least favourite Spurs players ever: Roman Pavlyuchenko vs Inter Milan at WHL the night where we gave the reigning European Champions a footballing lesson in the 3-1 win. Pav will go down as the goalscorer (and fair play to him), but the goal was all about Gareth Bale whose performance in that game was the best individual performance I have ever seen from a Spurs player - a performance I don't expect to see bettered for decades to come. He was literally unplayable that night, and watching him set up Pav by punting the ball 30 yards down the line and turning a 10m deficit into a 10m lead on the defender (that part was literally outrageous; even FIFA games don't allow you to be that audacious), followed by getting his head up, looking at his options and sending in an inch-perfect cross for Pavlyuchenko to touch home was sheer magic.

That game against Inter Milan really was special and one of the best nights at WHL in modern times.
Harry should never have said it and it annoyed the piss out of me at the time, but maybe he was right in that "we'll never have it so good".....

Absolutely, don't think I've ever seen a better atmosphere (albeit I watched the game on TV) at the Lane, it seemed like every single person inside the ground was just belting it out for the entire 90 minutes and beyond. Certainly the single game I'm most proud of as a Spurs fan since I started watching in 1995.

Lots of people ask me what my favourite Spurs goal ever was...
Tough question.
If anybody gets the reference, you get unlimited winner ratings from me
There are so many to choose from...Aaron Lennon scoring the equaliser in the 4-4 with the goons, Bale vs Stoke, VDV vs QPR, Crouch vs AC Milan, Crouch vs Man City...
But the one that stands out for me, was THAT goal...against West Ham, by YOU KNOW WHO...

Bale against Spam and Modric curler at the Lane v Liverpool a couple of years ago both had me going nuts.

So hard ro pick a favourite, alternatively I'll start with favourite hatricks Ronnie Rosenthal vs Southampton in FA cup, I think it was 93 or 94 & we were 2 down, Another Southampton game because one of my best friends is a Southampton fan, Tony Galvin hatrick in mid 80's, I loved Tony, he looked like he would collapse at any moment, but kept on running.
Paul Walsh hatrick against Shef Utd early 90's, one of them was an absolute bute of a dribble past defenders.
Klinsman 4 against Wimbledon
Keane 3 against Everton, great hatrick
85-86 season the year I started following Spurs ( had been lvpool fan b4.. I was young & foolish &it was either lvpool, utd or Everton growing up in Ireland at that time) Clive Allen 3 against West Ham.
Individual goals Gascoigne vs Portsmouth in Fa cup& Gascoigne vs Arsenal
Crouch 3 vs young boys & 1 against City
Woodgate vs Chelsea LG cup final
The 1 goal that left me stunned was Bale vs West Ham last yr. Left me catching flies, At that moment I realised we had 1 of th great players of our time playing for us, how he could get such backlift & power from a standing position defies logic.

Bentley's goal at the Emirates was probably the start to one of the most exciting Spurs games I have seen.
