When the parachuting Santa crashed into and then fell from the roof of the old Trinity at half-time of a home game against Arsenal, 13th December 1998. Trailing 2-0 at the time and not looking in it, completely different game in second half and the extended delay seemed to play a part in it.
I wouldn't call it "classic", but Richard Wright's challenge on Luc Nilis. No one will ever know how good we'd have been that season, but I still maintain we'd have finished top 4 had he not broken his leg.

Imagine if such an injury has befallen Sasa Curcic a few minutes into his 2nd game - we'd still have been mulling over what might have been now.
For a real game changing goal, you'll find it hard to beat this one.
Damon I remember that Francis hat trick for qpr but I don't think we were 2-0 at the time ? It was 1989 and if I remember rightly we lost 1-3.
