Would have to be a choice of two..
Mariner against Aston Villa in the 3rd Round of the FA CUP in 1981. Fabulous team goal.
Beattie against Bohemiens Of Prague Uefa Cup 1981. Freekick like a Rocket. I was stood behind the goal in the North Stand, it was at Churchmans end. What a Strike!!

Ian Marshalls chip the keeper goal against leicester(i think),Marcus Bent against Notts Forest mainly down to Magiltons super defence splitting pass,Darren Bent v Derby straight after half-time super solo run.Kiwomya v Bristol Rovers(a long time ago)but remember the ball nearly bursting the net.More recently Priskins goal v Arsenal.I also remember my first away game,it was vs Watford in the John Duncan era,we had a player on loan called Mark Stuart making his debut and he scored a super solo goal he also got another and Warky got one aswell in a 3-3 draw,i know this wasnt at PR but does anyone else remember that one as none of my mates can?

SirBurley, I remember Mark Stuarts goals at Watford very well. Always good fun on the old shallow away terrace at Vicarage Road!

Stewies hat trick at the Dell, many memorable by Mariner, Whymark, Crawford, Gates, Beattie to name a few.

Bam bam at Wembley followed by Reuser for the 4th, too many magic moments.

Magiltons hat trick against notlob stnuc.

I agree with your nomination Swede - Beatties goal against Leeds from the half way line, brilliant! Think it may have been 79/80 though.

A few mentions for Bontcho goal vs Blackburn but the winner was fantastic too. Chris Kiwomya's fantastic control before looping a high volley that dipped between Hendry and the bar.

Also Johnson (i think) vs Villa - first goal back in the Premier League.

My personal favourite will also be Wickhams goal on Saturday. My daughters first match and he was touching distance from us when he took the ball down, the rest as they say....is history.

clive woods winner against leeds in the fa cup quarter final at filbert street, i think that was my first away game, when that went in we knew we were in our first fa cup semi final, and was in the shed at stamford bridge when we were beaten 2-1 by clive thomas...

megson's og...priceless, as was gunn's "airkick", never tire of watching that one...

i also seem to remember a mick mills freekick blasted into the top corner where the ball got wrapped in the net and the stanchion, against man u, if memory serves

roger osbourne fa cup final...still cheer that one everytime i see it!!

COYB!!

I cant remember any of the goals or who scored em. But the 3 goals away at barnsley about 10 years ago.3 down with 4 mins to go and missing a sitter in injury time to win 4-3.

I will add Ian Atkins winning free kick v Oxford I think in 86 to clinch a 3-2 win thinking we had stayed up. We went down in the end as Oxford finished the season on the Monday after the final saturday beating champions Everton 4-1. To my knowledge that was never allowed to happen again a bit like away goals in Play off semis after our defeats to both Bolton and Sheff Utd.

I also remember a very fine goal by Paul Mariner on his home debut in the 7-0 demolition of West Bromich Albion in 1976/77. In the same match, Kevin Beattie almost burst the net with a shot. To this day, i,ve not seen a ball hit so hard.

Jermaine Wright at Rotherham away 03/04 fantastic volley from distance to equalize then we went on to win 3-1 amazing goal for quality

Pablos against Coventry in injury time to make it 3 -2, made it look so easy and in a season when it was all going so wrong was great to see a little bit of cheeky class!

Boncho Genchev finally scoring an overhead kick against Blackburn, Neil Thompson powering the ball through the QPR Goalkeepers legs from 30 yards, Gavin Johnson against Aston Villa and Alex Mathie's first against Norwich in the 5-0. There really is to many, but my favourite is Robert Ullathornes pass and Bryan Gunn's Air Kick.

1. Kiwomya vs i think Brighton or someone, i seem to think it was a cup replay? Ball came into the box about the penalty spot, controlled it on his knee then lobbed the goalie.
2. Neil Thompson vs Southend at Roots Hall to win Div2
3. Tarricco vs Palace, i was in the Churchmans that day and had a cracking view.
4. Matt Holland up at Sunderland
5. Yallop vs Man Utd, think it was the league cup
......and pretty much most goals scored by Wark and Gates!!!!
