Woodgate CC Final.

Sat with chavski fans. Fair play they sat through Ossies dream on repeat for 2 hours afterwards.

Kaboul's injury time equaliser in the 4-4 comeback vs Villa at the Lane on our 125th anniversary, and the raw emotion in the celebration, was just the most electrifying moment. The game was a perfect summing up of our 125 years in many ways

A bit like Huddlestone wasn't he...?

Funnily enough, I forgave Hudd a heck of a lot and still like him largely (lol) cos of this:


And it's just a shame he wasn't a 10-15 a season player cos they were nearly all decent:

Before my time but that's my favourite too, I love the shot of him at 4/5 seconds running on his own at their defence just before he does that thing and flys through on goal. And the way the keeper goes down knowing he had no chance.

Also not the best but Kaboul's header from that massive VDV cross to win the game at Arsenal is up their.

Ginola vs Barnsley 1999 for me. I used to work with a Barnsley s/t holder & he was sat a few rows back from where Ginola received the ball & as soon as he did, he turned to his mate & said "He'll score from this..." He was not wrong.

Gazza's FA Cup Final freekick.

Because I was 11 years old and it seemed an impossible goal. Still does actually.

Lennon vs Chelsea watching live early Sunday morning here in the USA. created a passion that hasn't wained all these years later. Will never forget that game. Thank you Lennon, dawson, and ledley.

Semi Final?

I recall a goal Hoddle scored against Bolton I think in the FA Cup when we were in Div 2. I think it was in open play as opposed to being a free kick - he swerved the ball so viciously around the keeper it actually ended up hitting the side netting on the wrong side of the keeper, if you follow me. I swear if the net hadn't been there it would have carried on in a circle and ended up coming back to him like a boomerang. I think the Bolton manager of the day said something about it being a fluke but he didn't know Hoddle like we knew Hoddle! Never ever seen any TV footage of that goal though.

Anyone remember this?




Happy days

I always liked this goal by Pav

It was the same year Bale scored his volley against Stoke. I vaguely remember one more person scoring a left footed volley that season but cant remember who

My favourite all time goal will never change - It was that Ricky Villa cup winning goal.

It was our time, many of us oldies were there and it gave us some silverware after some sad years.

However there is one stand out goal, which I will always remember - Because I was there too. In the old West Germany - versus Eintracht Frankfurt - the quarter final of the old Cup winners cup.

These were great times for a Spurs fan - We won the 1st leg at WHL by 2-0, It was a terribly long journey back in those days - 24 hours or so on a coach - no electronic games or stuff like that to while away the time.

We went 2-0 down on the night and it was looking grim but a fizzer from Hoddle is my 2nd best goal of all time. I saw it live of course - but never ever thought I would get to see it again - A little bit of research on the net and this came up ...

I have just watched it over and over again, reliving my youth and the fun times back then. We lost the semi to Barcelona, dirty bastards.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Looking at the move for our goal - Hoddle - Hughton - Villa - Hughton - finished by a Hoddle left foot pot shot.

It was a great night's celebrating on the town. Much drink and merriment ensued.

When you get to my age, there are inevitably shitloads of great goals to choose from. Hoddle rarely scored anything but a great goal. One season he came 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the Big Match goal of the season competition, goals which included the one where the ball was kicked out by our keeper, flicked on by someone (can't remember if it was Armstrong or someone else now) and volleyed past Peter Shilton (one of the best goalkeepers around at the time). Then there was the brilliantly worked free kick, volleyed past ManU's Bailey.






The thing was, unlike many players, who might flook one of these right in a career, Hoddle did them all the time, on purpose and with precision. He was literally to this day, the most sublimely talented user of a football (as opposed to dribbler etc) I have had the privilege to watch, bar none. Some, like Platini and Pirlo are on par, but not better. Even being a bit of a dick as human being will not tarnish the football memory of him. That's how good he was.

But your favourite goals aren't necessarily the spectacular, they are sometimes just ones that just stick in your head.

Hoddle, Garth Crooks and Steve Archibald used to do this free kick where Hoddle passed the ball along the deck to Crooks, who'd dummy it and then run the other side of his marker into the area and Archibald would be behind the dummy and just flick round the marker where Crooks had run and he would crack it home. It was poetry.

I always remember a goal Crooks scored in a nothing match against Everton in the early eighties. We were 2-1 down and from a cross or corner from our right he seemed to hang in the air and swivel volley the ball in at what seemed like head height. Just stuck in my memory.

But the ones that really stick are the ones that get you celebrating most mentally. Woodgate's ping pong header against Chelsea in the Final, Stalteri's late winner against West Ham at Upton Park, Crouch's winner in the San Siro but my favourite, and my favourite of all goals, still remains Villa's winner in the 1981 replay. I was only 15, I'd never really seen us win anything, back then the FA Cup was huge (almost as enjoyable as winning the league but not quite), and we had this wonderful team that played the best football in the country but just weren't quite consistent enough. Ricky Villa epitomising us really, extremely talented but mercurial, a player we all loved, despite his flaws because on his day would win you games with his skill but also would wade in to Kenny Burns with his fists when he kicked his mate Ardiles - just a loveable character. I was there that night and having come from behind in a cracking game, to win with a goal by the player who had trudged off with all our hopes after he and we had had a poor first game, was just one of those rarest of Footballing fairytales. He danced through half their team in the space of about ten yards and when the ball went in it's the only time in my life I have involuntarily levitated. Our whole end just went mad fucking bonkers batshit mental.
