    Same here.
    Barmby's equalizer against Watford for me in recent history.
    Waggy's second against Gordon Banks, despite being a false dawn.

    Beating Spurs 2 nil in 1977
    Keith Edwards sticking it over Sheff Utd in 1979 ( I was buzzing for about 3 days after that ).

    Recently 2-0 v Liverpool, I was sitting right behind the goal when Niasse slipped it under the keeper and I thought “we can stay up”.

    Remind me about the Hillsboro game you're referring to ? Unfortunately, having been abroad for almost 50 years now, I didn't get to see many games live.

    It was a great night - a memorable away following, great goals and an excellent fish and chip supper to round it off.

    Thanks for that Julian - I've never seen those highlights, in fact can't recall the game to be fair.
    last time I saw a City game in Sheffield was in... hang on a minute, bit of googling required...against Sheff Utd when we won 0-2 or 1-2 I think, and Ken Knighton (his debt goal) , or Simpkin scored a cracker. About '70 or '71.
    Checked my programmes - March '71, mid-week just before our home FA Cup match against Stoke. 40,000 at Bramhall Lane. Simpkin & Waggy in a 1-2 win. Knighton did play (but why do I have Simpkin scoring ?). No highlight to be found. Hell of a hangover & tricky ride back to Leeds I seem to recall.

    That Waggy goal is not mentioned enough it was a great goal and only Waggy could have done that the way he took his time and weaved left and right in front of the worlds no 1 keeper. Pure class. Hazard pah!

    3-1 over Liverpool. Jeez we had a good side. Beggars belief how quickly it unravelled!

    My favourite moment - in that you could literally celebrate a goal knowing it was bringing an incredible achievement - was Folan's against Watford in 2008 to make it 2-1 on the night. That season, and the way in which we'd come up on the rails, had been brilliant, but we all had 'Typical City' flashing around in our minds from the second Henderson scored for Watford. Even when Barmby scored, Watford weren't out of it. I'd never seen City at Wembley and I knew if we got there we had the players to win the final. But when Henderson scored I just felt s***. I couldn't speak. I couldn't operate. I had three-quarters of a pint in front of me (I was watching in the HCSS pub in London as I'd used up too much of my holiday entitlement on City games already that year) that went untouched as all I could taste was the bile in my stomach, a stomach that was churning and sinking. I eased up a bit when Nick scored but those feelings from the half-hour of us potentially throwing everything away hadn't left me. If Watford scored next, the momentum was with them. I'd got it into my head that we weren't going to do it. Then Folan scored. All of a sudden we were definitely going to Wembley - number one of the Big Two things I never thought I'd see City do was ticked off - and we were one game away from number two being accounted for. All in the space of a few seconds. I went mental. For goals such as Ash's at Yeovil, Deano's at Cardiff, Deano's at Wembley, Cousin's at Arsenal and so on, there was still a chance things could go wrong. When Folan scored, we could celebrate a goal and a massive achievement that many of us thought we'd never see, all at the same time. There are City goals that mean more in the fullness of time, but I can't think of a City goal that has meant more the instant it has been scored.
