3 favourite Burnley goals ever?

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:40 pm

Myself and my partner currently having this debate. I went for the below:

1) Elliott at Wembley
2) Arfield at Ewood
3) Blake united

Interested to see everyone else’s.

Devils_Advocate · Post by **Devils_Advocate** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:47 pm

1) Deary at Doncaster '91
2) Philliskirk home to Bristol Rovers '94
3) Lowton at Palace last season

Fretters · Post by **Fretters** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:50 pm

1. Wade
2. Ings at Ewood
3. Hyde at Ewood - never seen us get close to scoring against them.. 1-0 down against PL opposition... only Ian Moore, a pretend striker, up front... then Hyde lobs one of the PL's best keepers from outside the box in front of our fans. Absolute scenes!

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:52 pm

Hyde v Blackburn
Akinbiyi v Chelsea
Paterson v Reading

In no particular order

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 7:55 pm

1) Paul Fletcher at Leeds
2) Robbie Blake v United
3) Glen Little v Bristol Rovers

Having said that, I'll probably remember more in a few minutes.

1) Gray at Brum. Every outfield player touched the ball at least twice.
2) Coates v. liverpool, April ‘66. Ran from his own half.
3) Patterson at Reading. Stunning strike.

There are so many this thread needs sub-dividing into: headers, distant strikes, FKs, dribbles,etc.,

I won’t alter my 3 but have already thought of another.
Brian O’Neils 89th minute winner against ManU that struck both posts before it crossed the line.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 8:26 pm

Off the top of my head, and restricting myself to goals I saw live -

1) Ings at Rovers
2) Pickering at Stoke
3) Arfield against Chelsea at the Turf

Without it, who knows what would have happened to us.
Ings v Bas****s

So difficult was this by the way.

That Casper goal was our 1st game back up, wasn't it?
Missed it because some humpty was kicking off in the Beehole End. .

Yep... Absolute stonking goal at CF end... A few days after we'd beat Sheff U in first game back.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:24 pm

I can't pick!

There are brilliant goals and significant goals.

I thought Steven Defour lob goal v Hull was the most exquisite ever.

Robbie Blake versus Manchester United was also beautiful and significant.

Wade Elliott at Wembley, because it was sheer joy and I got to hug my late wife, who was equally overcome.

TheFamilyCat · Post by **TheFamilyCat** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:26 pm

Little v Bristol Rovers
Elliott @ Wembley
Eyres @ Wembley

Honourable mention:
Arthur @ Preston

3 Jay v Man Utd

Not forgetting - Hoskin v Swansea!!!!

EarbyClaret · Post by **EarbyClaret** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:32 pm

Pickering at Stoke is a great shout - what a strike that was

Using the 'I was there' criteria

Vydra v Wolves - that could be huge
Francis at York
Eyres v Stockport at Wembley

Akinbiyi at Chelsea most wildly celebrated although it didn't mean quite as much as some of the others

Honourable mentions for Roger Eli's bullet header past Peter Shilton. Mike Conroy's winner at Northampton. Robbie Blake v United. First PL goal

Never seen it to this day.
All I remember was the crowd erupting, the loon kicking off with someone behind being carter off by plod and Casp & Co hugging each other.
Games as they used to be.

Parkinson.. Wembley

Elliott.....Wembley
Two memorable days out.

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 11:02 pm

Agree with all those before but:

Elliot…………to be at Wembley with my son …….wish my dad was there with us ……..

Adi………Chelsea in the cup………..how many men(wives) took sons or daughters out of school that day……….

Any by the likes of Andy Wharton………places like Doncaster etc…………shockers but can’t put a price on those days…..

Ward at Chelsea still not mentioned...

Lots of them, too many to choose, but I fully understand why Ings at Ewood features so heavily, it gave all our younger fans, and even not so young, the opportunity to see what I'd seen six time previously, a win at Ewood.

Dressinggown · Post by **Dressinggown** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 11:31 pm

Can't reduce it to 3.

It is always away goals that long live in the memory.

George Oghani at Preston in the Sherpa Van Semi .
Paterson at Reading.
Kindon v Celtic.
Hamilton at Spurs.
Francis at York.
Heath at Sheffield United.
Little v Bristol Rovers.
Barnes v Crystal Palace.
Any goals at *******'s, Preston, Blackpool and even Stockport.
All of the away games in 1991 apart from Cardiff where we neaiy died.

None of the young 'uns had seen Ralphy sat on the ball with a 'We've Won' grin on his face, while it was still in play though.

what_no_pies · Post by **what_no_pies** » Mon Apr 25, 2022 11:55 pm

Kalvanes at Blackpool for the forward roll alone.

Really though it's probably Little at Brum, Wade at Wembley and Akinbiyi at Chelsea.

Special mentions for Defour lob, Blake volley, Kev Mac at City, Pato / Thommo Reading and Jay Rod Spurs.

That Coyle side and promotion season was beyond special. We've been really spoiled.

Cajun · Post by **Cajun** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:06 am

Also using the criteria of goals that I have seen - and as others have said 3 is impossible - but these just stand out:

1: This from Uwe vs Newcastle in Nov. 74. Wonderful sweeping move, Brenno charging down the left in front of the Longside and smashing over a rocket cross, Uwe with a with a sensational bullet diving header finish. Just perfect, a thing of beauty.

2: Casper to beat Chelsea late in first home match of season following promotion. After he retired, Bonetti mentioned it as one of the best goals/shots he'd ever conceded.

: Fave3.jpg (74.21 KiB) Viewed 1878 times

3: Wade at Wembley. Never ever thought I'd see us back in the top division.

Dressinggown · Post by **Dressinggown** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:11 am

Akinbiyi at Chelsea.

Neal Grewcock at Crewe.

Bloke with flowing locks winning it at Stockport.

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:12 am

Would have to think long and hard about the other two but I'd have to have a spot for my favorite player

Boyd 1 - 0 Man City

Cajun · Post by **Cajun** » Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:12 am

Oh and while I think of it I have to give an honorable mention and special "Comedy Goal" award to this beauty from Calamity Corrigan when we beat City 3-0 at the Turf. Big Joe gave a great impression of a "man in a shower trying to catch a bar of soap" while trying to dummy a drop kick around Fletch on the edge of the box, Fletch got a toe on the ball as it fell it and it rolled with just enough pace to beat Joe's frantic chase after it and trickled over the line

Francis at York. Scenes.
Patterson at Reading. Scenes.
Ings at them. Scenes.

On a separate note, is there any footage of Hyde’s goal versus them? Remember trying to listen to it whilst driving round Basra.
