Help! Can you identify this cracking Albion goal?

[South Stand Bonfire]

My (not very good) instinct went for Steve Penney before I saw this post, although he may have just had a hair cut!

NO9 is Kevin Bremner. Is it Penney scoring?

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Is it not Wilkins who plays the initial ball from the left-back position?

Okay, I've watched it over & over & frozen it. The player who scores, knocks it to Bremner who then passes it back. I now think its Paul Wood?

Goal scoring number 8s at home in 1987/88

I think it's a League Cup tie against Gillingham. He missed a penalty in the shoot out later!

Littlewoods cup at home, we won 1:0

Definately against Gillingham.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Bingo! Just looked up what Gillingham's shirts looked like for that season and they did have that zigzag thing on the front of their home shirts, so I assume the away kit was the same.

Thank you everyone who helped narrow down the possibilities. Well done, Tim, for naming the match!

Yep. We lost the first leg 1-0 as well!

Hutchings in the cup against Gillingham who were a league below us. Remember it well - a dire game

I haven't seen the video, but I reckon I'm in with a good shout by guessing PETER WARD or BOBBY ZAMORA.

Yeah, I think your close with Zamora!!!

Yes-100% -pre 1988-89 as the North East corner(In the video,has away fans in) was closed on safety grounds in the summer of 1988 reducing the capacity to 23,000.

1987-88 my 1st season,although my first match was January 1988 so perhaps this game was just before i started going-

 

[TopCorner]

Hutchings!

Peter O' Sullivan.

i thought that but he's too tall .......sully was tiny wasn't he..?

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Good find. Definitely The Gills. Destinctive kit at the time.
Wasn't their keeper sent off and a outfield player went in goal, who then became a hero for beating us in the penalty shoot out?
Paul Hayes?...
