Title: Fulham ' s top 10 greatest goals?
Post by: dannyboi-ffc on November 14, 2014, 11:24:15 AM
In light of the incredible achievement for a club like Fulham to have a goal nominated for fifa goal of the year. It got me thinking, if the club ever released another dvd like they did about 15 years ago and asked us fans to vote for Fulham ' s greatest goals, what would be your pick in order?

Obviously this is Fulham ' s greatest as a club and not personal goals that didn't necessarily mean a great deal to anyone else. We will probably pick similar lists but it will be interesting to see how we all rank them.

Here's mine

1)Kasami- I've never seen a goal like it, unique! The best goal I've ever seen
2)Davies vs Hamburg- the importance,  the occasion and the technique. A special moment at the height of our clubs greatest hour.
3)Mitchell in semi final- last second of the game, heading for yet another replay and up pops Mitchell to take us to Wembley. I wish I was there but before my time, again the importance is why it's ranked so high.
4)Murphy vs Pompey- Without this goal the future may have been very different and we certainly wouldn't have had the Europa journey. This goal gave me the best feeling and it was probably our most important goal ever.
5) Sean Davis vs Blackburn- TAKE THAT SOUNESS!!!! Down to 10 men against the side who believed they were better than us. 1-0 down back come the whites with an injury time winner. It didn't mean promotion but it represented so much more than promotion at the time.
6) Mullery volley- I wasn't born yet but from videos It's a brilliant goal
7)Dempsey vs Juventus- regarded as most fans favourite ever game and topped off with a goal worthy of winning any game let alone 4-1 against the giants of Italy.
8)Rod McAree- not the most stunning goal but the significance of it is why we still sing about it today. We should never forget where we've come from.
9)Brown vs Lincoln- again I wasn't born but it gave us promotion at the cottage, not many goals can vouch to have done that.
10)Peschisolido vs Liverpool- for a league one side (old div 2) to go to Anfield and score a goal as brilliant as that was almost as disbelieving as beating Juventus at the time.

There were a few that missed out but I genuinely didn't think the list was big enough for them. Diop 's amazing bullet against UTD was one of my favourite ever goals. Probably only bettered by kasami's and Murphy ' s header But I put personal favourites aside and picked the club's greatest.

No room for houghton or harley either.

Anyway what would you pick if asked?

It is absolutely fantastic that little old relegated Fulham should have a goal nominated for the best in the world last year.

You've picked all the key Fulham goals from our recent history plus some attractive ones on top. I can't really think of any essential ones to add.

I was behind the goal for the Mullery volley and heard Mitchell's on the radio. I was looking forward to going to Highbury for the replay when it went in, in about the 85th minute. I was more ecstatic than disappointed though.

I've always had a soft spot for Collins John's van Basten goal against Middlesbrough. Until Kasami did what he did, it was the best Fulham goal I had ever seen.

I forgot about that goal, fantastic!!! But when you have to sit down and narrow it down to the ten best does it quite have enough? Like you said kasami's was better and the other amazing goals had a bit of history or importance to them. Then you add in the tap ins that make up our history and Collins John comes up short for me. (I'm surprised he weren't offside).  Possibly top 20 but even that would be tight. If I remember correctly we went on to lose to Middlesbrough that day as well which doesn't help his cause.

Great suggestion though

Ok not present for all of them - but quite a few.
1) I nearly fell of the chair at home in disbelief with a wtf aimed at what I had just seen.
2) At the Putney end for that one - I think I may still be a little hoarse
3) I was surrounded by very large Brummies - you try surpressing your unbridled joy at Fulham getting to Wembley - not easy - coach broke down on the way home - had to get the milkman to help me bump start my car at the Cottage to get home - needless to say didn't get to college that day! The one at Hillsborough was much more spectacular
6) behind the goal for that one
Was there for a couple of the others too

So I am old but have seen a few
I was also behind the goal for Zamora against Shaktar - that one was special too

Gera goal vs Hamburg was scruffy but never have I seen a goal make the cottage go as mental as that one. I also remember Zamora vs Wolfsburg away. Settled the nerves and I just remember how proud I felt of my team at that moment. I do miss that season!

That Peschisolido v Liverpool goal was the day I decided to support Fulham. I was watching on Sky and had supported Forest before that. I wanted to start watching a local team and that goal sealed it. Didn't he do a carbon copy against Hartlepool a week later in the league?

"Rising like a haddock" wouldn't have had quite the same ring to it.

Great goals definitely- funny how Kasami's goal got forgotten by the BBC, if it was Rooney the'd still be praising it today !

Didn't Ray Houghton and Gordon Davies get first and second goals of the season in the 80's when we were allowed to do postal votes for MOTD ?

Dempsey's goal was the only instance I can remember where time stood still in a shot on goal, my heart in my throat, as the Hail Mary turn-and-lob seemed to float, float, float.  Silence all around. Then it kissed the inside of the net.  As if in disbelief, the fans didn't immediately react. There was a second or two of utter shock, then recognition, then mayhem.  Juventus players crushed.  Kasami's goal was fantastic too.  But it was so sudden, and without the same importance.

There are highlights of Inamoto's goal which I rate as one of the best at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgGcHRNbr-c (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgGcHRNbr-c)
but annoyingly it does not show ALL the build up to that goal which is why I rate it so high. If I remember rightly, we started from the goalkeeper, were knocking it around the Man Utd players for many minutes, before finally scoring.

For the oldies amongst us: John Richardson's flying header v Bristol Rovers in about 1971ish. Nobody who saw it would ever forget it. Conway's cross I think at waist height.  JR launched himself from about the penalty spot and connected perfectly with his head

The goals are split between fantastic goals and goals and one which had significant impacts although I don't recall Rod McAree let alone a goal. This comes in the former category

I saw quite a few of the ones listed but to me the best goal was Gordon Davies volley against Rotherham at the cottage, first game of the season. Hit on the volley direct from our keepers clearance, their keeper only saw it when it bounced out of the goal.

Few years back but chatted to John about it...he was very proud of the goal in a nice humble way..

Viv Busby v Cardiff, first home game of the 1974-75 season in a 4-0 win.  Got the ball just inside their half, went on an amazing run and eventually dribbling along the goal line from the edge of the penalty area before slotting it home.

Fantastic goal and of course no cameras there to record it.  Several of the newspapers drew a diagram of the run, that was as high tech as it got.

Will not be forgotten by anyone in the 8110 crowd that was there.

2 great (not sure about top ten) goals scored during our sojourn @ QPR:-

John Hartley's (against Villa?)

Leggie's against Spuds in a last minute 3-2 victory (perhaps that was great because of the satisfaction of getting one over them for a change)

& of course not forgetting Papa Bouba Diop's equaliser v Man U back @ the Cottage

Mullery's was incredible though & my poor old Dad missed it as he went to the loo!

Not sure if John (Lloyd?) mishit the pass to Mullery or meant it, doesn't matter

& if we ever needed a penalty taker Mullers was the man

I think Murph was the best penalty-taker since Mullers and I never saw either miss. I think that the jury's still out on whether Barry Lloyd meant to pass to Mullers but a mis-kick would be more in character.

Does anyone remember the one and only penalty Lloyd took? He sent the keeper the wrong way but it was so soft he had time to turn around and pick it up.

As much as I hate berbatov I think he was better than Murphy at penalties. Murphy missed two at city but got the rebound and against sofia at home when he sent it into row z. Both were great and you never thought they were gonna miss but goalkeepers seemed to accept berbatov was going to score just from their body language. And that's the only compliment berbatov will ever get from me because I couldn't stand him after the "keep calm and pass me the ball" nonsense

Helguson was very good but only took 3 or 4 including one at the bridge to earn a draw, I don't remember saha ever missing for us. I'd say Dempsey was the worst I've seen

Busby's goal was undoubtedly the best Fulham goal I've ever seen, must have beaten six or seven players during that dribble. Incredible.   Also deserving of a place in the pantheon, Muller's wonder volley against Leicester, a superb cut inside and long-range shot from John Cutbush way back when, John Richardson's header already mentioned and Jon Harley's fantastic strike against Villa at Loftus Road.

Best Fulham penalty taker in my experience was either the Maestro, who only started taking them after Jimmy Langley left the Cottage, or Kevin Lock who, although he did miss one, was a model of calmness as he walked up to take the kicks and as was shown on a Football Focus feature pin TV in the mid-eighties, had such a great left foot that he could place them more or less anywhere he liked with an amazing degree of accuracy.

In the OP I mention Diop's screamer. It's my favourite Fulham goal ever after kasami and Murphy ' s header. But it would probably be 11th and fall just short. Possibly could be ranked higher than pesch vs Liverpool but I felt that was a special goal in our history and I didn't want to just pick goals from the premier league era and I wanted a balance.  Personally I prefer it to pesch goal but it's not my favourite goals. The post is Fulham ' s greatest goals.

As for legwinski, I learnt a very harsh lesson that day.  I left in the first minute of injury time to avoid the crowds and I missed it. One of my biggest regrets as well as choosing to not bother going city away in the great escape.  But in terms of our greatest,  I don't think it merits a top ten place. The come back against juve or kamara ' s against city were both more incredible and both winning goals were better. Then you have goals like Boa Morte against Chelsea,  inamoto at old Trafford,  Gera completing the comeback against Hamburg.  Zamora against shakhtar.  Maybe it would make the top 20 premier league goals but I think there's far too many goals that were better or meant more for it to squeeze in.

Same with harley, great goal but Diop's was better because harley ' s was hit and hope, kasami's strike, mullery too. Not enough room for me and there was no importance to the goal unless beating villa at home is a great achievement lol.

I thought I regretted missing Leggie's winner. I can't imagine how it must feel to be in the loo when Mullery's goal goes in. I'd rather wet myself I reckon

Some of the above mentioned goals are in this video (pre-Kasami goal last year). I always enjoy watching it.

The Collins John goal is vaguely reminiscent of the Kasami beauty and sweet jesus the Harley goal vs Villa is magnificent every time.

Two forgotten great goals were from Robert Wilson at Shrewsbury and Clive Walker at Huddersfield. Didnt go to Shrewsbury but dads mates raved about it, dribbled around half the side before rounding the keeper. Huddersfield I did go to, one of the best Fulham goals I`ve ever seen, shame there were only about 200 of us to see it. Would love to see it again ,its probably only on some old  HTFC match vhs gathering dust somewhere.

George Best's goal v Chelsea in I think a 3-1 victory @ the Cottage

Best was on the right hand corner of the penalty box

Someone crossed or tried to clear & the ball spun up so high I thought it would have snow or ice on it when it came down

George took it on the volley & scored

Next day there was a picture in the paper showing a frozen Bonnetti, Mickey Droy & ano Chelsea player
as the ball flew past them

A great (& rare) victory however.....

The return match was on Boxing Day & the crowd was 55,003?

My dad, brother & me made the 3, swaying on the terracing opposite the Shed

Droy kicked Georgie up in the air in the 2nd or 3rd minute & it was game over for him, along with his brief (but terrific) Fulham career

Some of the above mentioned goals are in this video (pre-Kasami goal last year). I always enjoy watching it.

The Collins John goal is vaguely reminiscent of the Kasami beauty and sweet jesus the Harley goal vs Villa is magnificent every time.

Thanks for sharing... Great collection of goals!

Indeed! I love hearing the commentary of each goal

In light of the incredible achievement for a club like Fulham to have a goal nominated for fifa goal of the year. It got me thinking, if the club ever released another dvd like they did about 15 years ago and asked us fans to vote for Fulham ' s greatest goals, what would be your pick in order?

Obviously this is Fulham ' s greatest as a club and not personal goals that didn't necessarily mean a great deal to anyone else. We will probably pick similar lists but it will be interesting to see how we all rank them.

Here's mine

1)Kasami- I've never seen a goal like it, unique! The best goal I've ever seen
2)Davies vs Hamburg- the importance,  the occasion and the technique. A special moment at the height of our clubs greatest hour.
3)Mitchell in semi final- last second of the game, heading for yet another replay and up pops Mitchell to take us to Wembley. I wish I was there but before my time, again the importance is why it's ranked so high.
4)Murphy vs Pompey- Without this goal the future may have been very different and we certainly wouldn't have had the Europa journey. This goal gave me the best feeling and it was probably our most important goal ever.
5) Sean Davis vs Blackburn- TAKE THAT SOUNESS!!!! Down to 10 men against the side who believed they were better than us. 1-0 down back come the whites with an injury time winner. It didn't mean promotion but it represented so much more than promotion at the time.
6) Mullery volley- I wasn't born yet but from videos It's a brilliant goal
7)Dempsey vs Juventus- regarded as most fans favourite ever game and topped off with a goal worthy of winning any game let alone 4-1 against the giants of Italy.
8)Rod McAree- not the most stunning goal but the significance of it is why we still sing about it today. We should never forget where we've come from.
9)Brown vs Lincoln- again I wasn't born but it gave us promotion at the cottage, not many goals can vouch to have done that.
10)Peschisolido vs Liverpool- for a league one side (old div 2) to go to Anfield and score a goal as brilliant as that was almost as disbelieving as beating Juventus at the time.

There were a few that missed out but I genuinely didn't think the list was big enough for them. Diop 's amazing bullet against UTD was one of my favourite ever goals. Probably only bettered by kasami's and Murphy ' s header But I put personal favourites aside and picked the club's greatest.

No room for houghton or harley either.

Anyway what would you pick if asked?

That Peschisolido v Liverpool goal was the day I decided to support Fulham. I was watching on Sky and had supported Forest before that. I wanted to start watching a local team and that goal sealed it. Didn't he do a carbon copy against Hartlepool a week later in the league?
what a day that was nearly broke my pals nose with an elbow when that went in !!!!

I mentioned it in the OP, I think it just misses out on the club's top 10 greatest goals. Great goal though
