Best Albion goal you've ever seen in the flesh?

[kevo]

Famously it was never recorded. Nelson mentioned that in an interview i saw not long back though i forget where. Wish i'd been there, it sounded sublime.

It was first round of the FA Cup, so it should have been in the regional sports coverage somewhere - either in the south or London...

Maybe but only saying what I saw. Nelson laughed when he was told it wasn't ever recorded and said something like we'd have to take his word that it was the best goal he ever scored.

There a few Zamora goals to choose from in this clip

He was really rather good was he not?

My old boy took me to the Goldstone mid-seventies, and said Spider Mellor had scored with a bicycle kick direct from a corner the week before. We get a corner from the south-west corner of the pitch, and over it comes into the six-yard box for Mr. Mellor to repeat the feat. Bang!

Nelson at Ggriffin Park and Zamora v halifax

I was at Brentford. I would love to see that goal again, just to prove to myself that it really was the best I've ever seen.

Another one for Nelson at brentford

Not forgetting the pen he buried up there too

One of the best pens I've ever seen by an Albion player

Johnny Crumplins screamer in the 3-1 victory at Blackpool has to be up there

As mentioned above:

Stuart munday v Leicester 1994

 

[Seat Stealer]

Garry nelson v brentford sublime. Also, Frank Worthington in the North Goal at the Goldstone v ? about 1985 I think?

Dean Wilkins free kick v Ipswich for me straight on the pitch in delight

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I think an honourable mention should go to Calderon for the screamer that beat James last season at the Amex.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Brighton v Nottingham Forest 1979/80 - YouTube

Probably this for me - partly because it was so unexpected, partly because it was against the European Champions, and partly because it was past England legend Peter Shilton, prompting Cloughie's post-match quote "no-one beats Peter Shilton from 25 yards".

Except Gary Williams.

Lewis Dunk at Liverpool. Unbelievable!! (and Nelson at Brentford, I was halfway up the stand and in the blink of an eye found myself by the penalty spot)

Bob McNicol in the cup against at the Goldstone or Willie Irvine or Bobby Z's over the shoulder volley (Halifax? at Withdean) or Jimmy Case at Highbury or or ?

Bob McNicol from just over the halfway line against Burnley (who were current english champions) to earn a 3-3 draw in the FA cup 1961,

Paul Clark at home to Spurs in the 3-1 win back in 78. Ran 75 yards (which believe me was way beyond his physical limitations) before straight legging it with his left peg into the far bottom corner.

Not a spectacular hit, just a stunning individual effort, as he somehow left proper athletes in his wake!!!
