Andy Gray's first of a hat trick against the Albion in 1977

Peter Withe latching on to a last minute back pass from Brendon Batson in 1981 - truly awesomely mental

Sid's headed equaliser v Juventus in 1983
Dalian's in the 1994 League cup final
Savo's howitzer in the 1996 final
Lee Hendrie's air shot and follow up at Anfield in 2001
Gary Cahill's against the Blues in 2006
Carew's opener v Blues in the 5-1 demolition
Zat Knight's humdinger v Arsenal in 2008

Sorry for the long list but they are keeping me warm and fuzzy in Shanghai where we have snow and no central heating (not compulsory in buildings in the southern half of China, so landlords skimp and don't install it).

Funny how so many of my favourites are so long ago...

[Merv]

Stan's goal against Atletico Madrid, shortly after he came on. I went absolutely beserk... even my mate started edging away from me.

Cahill's amazing goal against Blues was pretty special too... such a big game, especially considering our league position, and such a brilliantly-taken goal from a young lad. After the celebrations settled down, I was pretty emotional. Looking back on it now, it feels a bit bitter sweet, considering we sold him off not long afterwards.

The one in Rotterdam
Tony Morley at Goodison 80/81
All three against Barcelona in Super cup final, never known the Holte so packed and it rocked.

[Holy Trinity]

our 3rd against leeds in the fa cup 5th round in 2000 i think it was. 3-2 win
young against everton
damian duff og that sent the barcodes down

[not3bad]

Dion's winner against Arsenal 13th December 1998.

We came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2. Santa hit the stand which was obviously pretty serious for him and all the kids who thought they weren't going to get xmas pressies but it did allow us to have two pints at half time.

Vivid memories of that game.  The memory that sticks out the most is Stan Collymore running towards the Holte making "let's be 'avin ya!" gestures.  We were still 2-1 at the time I think.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

But what about Kent Nielsens screamer? 

It goes without saying!

[Deano's Mullet]

Agbonlahor vs Birmingham away last season
Atkinson vs Tranmere 1994 second leg
Dean Saunders stunner at Norwich 1993
Collins vs Birmingham last week

[j66acd]

One from this season, Albrighton against Man U, thought we were going to walk it from then.

Gabby at the sty when we won 2-1. Grazed my shins and had bruises up my legs.

Milner's pen in the final last year, the bloke behind me went flying about 5 rows forward.

[big 1st serve]

Agree with all the previous,
+ My 1st Small Heath match,
Sept 1975, Brian Little , won 2-1  53,782 ,    oh happy day !!

[Irish villain]

Withe in Rotterdam, our 2nd v man utd at wembley in 94, and mersons goal to send Coventry down.

I was looking for vids of Merson's goal against Coventry but couldn't find any. It was a great goal!

[andyaston]

The goal by Atkinson with two minutes left that got us level in the 1994 semi v Tranmere. The place went barmy and the Witton lane stand actually rocked back and forth for 30 seconds. That game was something special.

Gabbys late winner at the sty last year did you see how mental the fans went, bloody brilliant.

Oh yea, kent Neilson against Milan took some beating. Great strike and throat clearing greeny.

[luke25]

Gabbys late winner at the Sty last year, ended up running down the stairs, tripping up, getting trampled on, getting up, being bear hugged by a huge bloke (who stank), turned around to make my way back up the stairs to my seat to just see my dad on his hands and knees searching for his glasses, priceless memory

[DeKuip]

Gabbys late winner at the Sty last year, ended up running down the stairs, tripping up, getting trampled on, getting up, being bear hugged by a huge bloke (who stank), turned around to make my way back up the stairs to my seat to just see my dad on his hands and knees searching for his glasses, priceless memory

Was you in the Kop, or Tilton?

great post Luke, reminded me of the Dalian header v Tranmere, I ended up ten yards from where I started in the Holte clutching a piece of coat which I'd ripped off the back of someone in the melee. When we all settled back down again, there he was standing in front of me oblivious to the fact he'd get pelters from his missus when he got home

[russon]

Oh yea, kent Neilson against Milan took some beating. Great strike and throat clearing greeny.

Good darts Andy. For younger viewers here's that stringer in full (35 secs in)
