For me my favourite 3 Spurs goals are all linked with each other, together they tell a story and I would give anything to capture any of those 3 moments again. Luckily, 2 of these goals were also of the highest quality which makes them even more special, but the main thing is always about how they made us feel. They were important goals, and they will live forever with me.
The first one was that May evening at the City of Manchester stadium, I've never been so nervous before a game before and I must admit when I saw Modric and Hudd lining up in CM in such a huge away game, I shat myself. The minutes ticked by, agonisingly, I would have taken a draw at any moment during that game and take it to the last day away at Burnley, but then, for once someone smiled on Spurs and Kaboul marched into the area and then when his cross flicked up off Fulop the ball hung in the air forever. Honestly, from my view quite close behind the goal, the ball just levitated there for hours on end. It's still there in my minds eye now. When Crouchy eventually did the honours the Spurs end went absolutely mad.
We were in the Champions League, bloody hell, that music booming around WHL... but until a very special moment it still felt like we didn't really belong, like we'd climbed over the fence to get into a house party we weren't invited too. We needed that moment to make us feel like we belonged. Bale's hattrick was great, but still, we'd collapsed 4-0 down and it felt like a lesson. This is all changed when those 2 beautiful players Modric and VDV combined at WHL to give us the lead against Inter. That was the moment, it wasn't just a fluke goal, but a goal crafted from Champions League quality that scythed open the holders defence. The lane went absolutely bonkers, then Bale added the gloss and got the plaudits - but it was that goal that meant everything to me. We were Tottenham Hotspur and we belonged in the Champions League.
The last goal was the one that added that cherry to the Champions League cake. We'd got there, we showed we belonged, we just needed to go and beat a European giant on their own patch with a beautiful goal. And that goal was beautiful, and it backed up such a huge performance which made it all the more sweeter sat up in the gods in that awesome stadium. The interception by soon to be favourite Sandro, Modric found that little dink through that looks so simple but really isn't, then Aaron Lennon had his moment. I have a lot of love for Aaron, and in many ways he epitomises this club, occasionally brilliant but not enough to be great, but for that moment in the San Siro he did everything perfectly and laid on the much maligned Crouchy, who for all the shit he received and the effort he put in, deserved that moment of glory.
That Champions League run was special, and those 3 goals symbolise that amazing adventure and I think we shouldn't underestimate how that run changed the way we were seen around Europe. It was magic, those 3 goals made it.

I was going to vote this one too - it was something special
I was still pretty young and at the game with my dad
We were in the Paxton road end just behind the goal as he smashed the net
It was back in the days when I was young enough to still be amazingly excited by a big name signing and Jurgen was the biggest I'd even known - wasn't able to go to his debut in Sheffield so this was a truly amazing game, goal and not least celebration to witness

Fucking yes (with out music please...maybe take that never forget..) I went bloody mental in the pub for that, the whole pub was packed out (imagine an Essex bricklayers) and the place just erupted. Beer being poured all over ourselves, then the walk back after the game hearing 'yid army' ring out all over Chelmsford town. Fucking brilliant night.
Similar for the 4-4 at the goons or when I was at the san siro for crouchy's.
Its all about occasion for me.

one of my favorite vdv goals was his equaliser vs stoke at the death. it looked to be another one of those days against the worst culprit in anti-football until vdv, probably the smallest guy on the pitch, gets in between shawcross and huth for a sweet header
