The Sidwell Goal

32 yards 1 foot distance to goal line.

In that case I'm 2 foot 11 inches tall.

Wrong calculations: should be 53 yards 1 foot.

That's better, I'm back to 6 feet 2 inches. Phew!

Sidewalls was something special but its still Nelse at Brantford for me

Did you go to the same school of elocution as Mick Channon?

yup well remember this one: and watching Clough (then with Forest) on the box trying to play it down. I think it was even further than Sidwell's, but Sidwell's instant appreciation of the situation make his goal better for me...

Hmm - not quite! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmMQ8RqankA

Brilliant goal by a brilliant bloke. Just don't score one against us on the 26th.

The amount of wicked spin he gets on the ball is obscene.

Unstoppable.

I heard he was going for the cross bar challenge and missed

 

[Blue3]

not to mention zamoras box to box sprint and finish last year

He did the same at Withdean the opposition (sorry cannot remember who) had a corner Zamora clears the ball off the line and starts a sprint forward two passes it's back with Zamora just inside the oppositions box to smash the ball home

I've just remembered Stuart Munday's cracker at Filbert Street in the 90s - another one that you needed to be behind the goal to enjoy fully.

Yeah saw that game and it was a blinder

I remember standing behind the goal and I swear we sucked the ball into the net. It was a superb technical effort.
