I remember Neil Fisher going on a mazy run and curling one in from the edge of the box once. No idea who it was against. Did he have 2 spells with the club? I remember him playing sweeper for half a season and him being a revelation or did I just dream it?No, I remember him playing sweeper and being surprisingly impressive. Can't quite remember when it was though. Was it Atkins who put him there or Barrow in the first Conference season? |

Maybe it was Graham Barrow, we did play three at the back then but it was usually Beasley, Gaunt and Lancaster? Atkins played more 442.

See the Shrewsbury and Plymouth reports. Then again, he played everyone in every position so he was bound to get something right by law of averages. Darren Wright at right back was one of the weirdest. |

Love this thread.
Got a load of videos stored at me parents, swear I have that Preston game with Graham Lancashire scoring the winner late on, think it was a typical poachers finish that trickled in the bottom corner. Another memory of this was Preston fans locked out trying to scale the wall and barge the door down to get in. Got to say Lancashire and Leonard were class acts.
Other goals i wish I could see again are Ellison v Sheffield Wednesday in the LDV, taking the lead at Blackpool away in the fa cup in 95, milner scored we lost to two late goals, played really well that day with outstanding support
We had some memorable season in the 90s, promotion under Barrow, play offs under Ratcliffe, missing out playoffs after being top 2 most of the year and fell away.
Couple of good you tube videos here, first from 1995/1996 season under Ratcliffe, some great goals scored by an array of players. But the one thing I do notice is looks at the crowd, both in the stands and on the terrace, even if you flip on to games 10 years later the crowds look good, where have they all gone?
Even in the 2000s we had good times, the season we had under MW were outstanding, playoff defeat and a championship, crowds again packed, then came the likes of Keith Curle and Bobby W, again good football and we were up their with crowds really good.
SV killing the club sent a lot if our fans packing I think, the reformation wasn't for everyone and despite glory boys turning up the early days it's now the worst it's ever been gate wise.

They weren't amazing goals but Davey Thompsons hat trick, I think it was last game, or one of the last games of our promotion season under Barrow. It was a cracking day weather wise, the terrace was packed and noisy and all 3 goals were pretty much identical, after his third he ran towards where I was sat and did a forward roll/flip, it was hardly acrobatic but I remember being impressed.
This was one of my first seasons supporting the blues and that day is still one of my fondest memories

David Pugh's volley into the goal in front of the Sealand Road End versus Tranmere to make it 1-1 on a cold Friday night. Remember Saint and Greaves kept showing it on their saturday show the next day..
Anyone got a link to that? |

I remember going down to Whyteleafe in the cup, we were so lucky to get the draw in the end. I think they missed a penalty? Some good players in that squad. Moss went on to have a good career and Doughty was a good attacking right back. Beckett and Agogo were quality strikers. We just didn't have the strength throughout the squad. |

Whyteleafe did indeed miss a pen but the miss from the follow up was even worse! It can be found online somewhere. I was only about 14 for that game but vaguely remember some of the youngers players (Andy Shelton being one) trying to sell complimentary tickets to away Chester fans. It was all-ticket though so you'd have to have been desperate to travel down to leafy Surrey with no ticket. Does anyone have footage of Nick Richardson's free kick away at Shrewsbury in 99-00? I'm looking at you MOC!!! |

Micheal Twiss scored a cracker in front of the cameras but i can't remember who we were playing. Also McGinn v Northwich, remember being in a packed harry mc seeing him running with the ball and me shouting "shoot" the rest is history Was it Woking away February 04? |

My favourite goal is Tony Hemmings to put us 3-0 up against Mansfield in our relegation season. Great game, great goal.
Anyone remember Steve Whitehall's goal v Kettering. Cut inside from the right and curled a shot into the top left hand corner.
Nick Richardson's free kick in Shrewsbury's Argentina style kit in our only ever win at Gay Meadow lives long in the memory too.

Some brilliant memories in here.
For some reason, Michael McElhatton scored a goal away at Stalybridge Celtic that has always stuck in my head. We won 4-0 in the season where MW saved us from the drop. I just remember a cut inside and a drive right into the top corner. No idea why it stuck with me but it always has. We had a really effective team in those months. The mercurial Phil Bolland had been signed and we had Brabin as skipper?
Others that I'd love to see again include Ellison away at Rochdale in the 94th minute under Bobby Williamson. Not a stunner or anything, but remember the celebrations being something special. Also, a Richie Partridge curler has always stuck in my head against Shrewsbury at the Deva. He was a very talented footballer but couldn't seem to find consistency.

There's some goals that wouldn't necessarily win an award, but they do stick in your mind.
For example one I can remember quite vividly was Michael Branch scooting clear to score a late equaliser at Rochdale at Christmas. Loved that one.

Often the goals remembered aren't because they were individually brilliant but because of the timing of the game consequence.
Leonard's winner in a remarkable 4-3 victory at Doncaster
Graham Pugh's belter when we beat Preston 3-0 76-77 season. Massive crowd, massive occasion
Carl Dale robing the Northampton goalie of the ball, no idea what year. '86?
All a bit random but would love to see them again

All a bit random but would love to see them again I remember a game at Scarborough when Mark Came played in goal as Billy Stewart got injured in the warm up. He made a last minute save and we held on to win 1-0. Again that was Mark Leonard who scored. To be fair to Leonard the bloke was no oil painting but he got some big goals that year. |

Think that the Fisher goal was home v Barnet in 98-99. Yeah, you could be right. Remember it being a belter and unexpected from Fisher! Checked and the scorers from that Barnet game were Murphy, Crosby and Beckett. Remember it being a superb performance though! Going by Soccerbase, the Fisher goal you're talking about may have been against Colchester the season before. |

A couple of others which have popped into my head...
Daryl Clare - can't remember the actual goal just the celebration, we were on Sky Sports, and to play on the fat shouts, he pulled a chocolate bar out of his sock and ate it.
Paul Carden - didn't score many, but I want to say against Southport at home he scored a great individual and out of character goal, taking on a few players before finish

Another goal I'd love to see again is Matty Woods winner against Southport in the FA Trophy quarter final in the last minute. At the time, Southport were a real force in the Conference. That game was featured on Sky's short lived Non League Highlights Show. I'll have to try and dig out the VHS with it on. |
