What's the best last gasp goal the Albion have ever scored?

[kevo]

I went to that Liverpool v Sunderland game as I couldn't get to Brighton, so it was the next best thing. Closest to a FIX that I had seen up to then. Bob Paisley, Liverpool manager, from the north east, etc, etc......

And hadn't Liverpool already won the title, so they had nothing to play for. Could have seen it coming tbh.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Virgo. I literally cannot put in to words how I felt when it went in.

 

[perseus]

Just because no-one's mentioned this one either -

Gary Williams scoring with a volley (?) from a corner in the last minute at Sunderland, a goal which meant we only had to beat Leeds at home in the last game of the season to stay up (we did). Sunderland thought that goal had sent them down, as they would then need to win at Anfield on the last day (incredibly, they did).

I was going to mention this one, but as I did not actually see it ...

Except that Liverpool did not win the title that year. Just the European Cup. It all went wrong for Norwich City at home on the last day.

similiar to the eric potts double against sunderland

night game late 80's,pompey at home losing 1 nil and garry nelson scores a brace very late on,the equaliser was such a relief,but when he bagged the winner the place went mental

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Sunderland, 1978. See post just above.

didn't he just come on as sub?

 

[Storer 68]

Not all that important result-wise, but very dramatic:

Home to Sunderland at the Goldstone late 1970's, 1-0 down and into injury time. Eric Potts scored twice in 2 minutes to win 2-1! Anyone else remember it?

yup. north stand went MENTAL

 

[Publius Ovidius]

of course, gary Steven's goal to take us into 2-2 in the Cup final.

we all went mental when that went in.

 

[Storer 68]

but NOT last minute.....

now had Smith Scored that would have been the last minute goal to beat all last minute goals,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

[Storer 68]

and just to change the subj slightly.....

Best last minute CONSOLATION goal.

One's that meant abosolutley naff all to everyone, including the scorer.

 

[looney]

Wilkins' free kick. .

That one. Needed it to make the play-offs, a real last ditch effort.

 

[Yoda]

Wasn't important at all but drawing 2-2 with Burnley after being 2-0 down with 2 odd minutes to go (back in 2002). Virgo, Bridcutt and Buckley were bloody brilliant, will never forget any of them

That was on my birthday. Steve Sidwell double IN injury time.

 

[HG201]

Buckley vs Donny without a doubt. Before that, my favourite was Nathan Elder's goal at Oldham a few years ago to make it 1-1 in about the 96th minute, we had gone down to 10 men after about 8 minutes too which made it even more to celebrate!

 

[HantsSeagull]

Seen a few. The Donny game this season was awesome. Even at 0-1 down, i really didnt care. It was just so amazing to be in that stadium for the first time.

Buckley's goal will go down in Albion history as best last minute goal ever cos 1. It was class and 2. It was so special and 3. You won't ever see a crowd go that mental again until we win the champions league!!

 

[APACHE]

There can only be 1, Virgo for what it lead to.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

Buckley v Doncaster made grown men cry - that moment will never be beaten for me.

That day had everything, didn't it.

I was in a pub for Virgo's, but these two, for the circumstances, trump all for me.

 

[wolfie]

1, Buckley
2 Virgo (also watched in pub)
3 (for old timers - 10th April 1965 Norman Gall. Brighton 2 Tranmere 1 Crowd: 24,017 Took us to the top of Div 4, where we remained.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Virgo's was infinitely more important, but for me. It's Mr. William Buckley.

The noise. The bloody noise when we scored that goal.

Hearing the place go spastic in the 98th minute of the first league game at the Amex is something I'll never forget... Plus the noise built up as he ran through on goal. If Henry had scored that everyone would be banging on about it today. It was a GREAT goal.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

but NOT last minute.....

now had Smith Scored that would have been the last minute goal to beat all last minute goals,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

You are getting into the biggest f***ing boring twat on here...and after me that takes some beating.

Get a life

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

That was on my birthday. Steve Sidwell double IN injury time.

Oh yes, remember that well.

My other nomination although technically in the last few minutes of the 90, was Gary Williams' howitzer from 25 yards v Forest. Completing the double over the European champions. Shilton in goal. TV cameras. And Clough's dismissive "fluke" comment afterwards made it even sweeter ...
