Any comments on that list and is there any moment you think should have been included ???
I wouldn't include 15. that game was truly embarrassing, there's entertaining chaos with loads of goals but sometimes it's just such apalling defending on both sides that I found it hard to enjoy. I'd include Robbo lobbing the Watford 'keeper, because even though it was a fluke you don't see goals like that often and he was lobbing one of his rivals for the number 1 England jersey.
Yes, I would have included Robbo's goal as well although to replace which moment, I am not quite sure. I take your point on the Reading game, there was a goal feast at the Lane that week because I think we stuffed Fulham by 5-something either a few days before or a few days afterwards. I am not convinced I would have included number 16, as I don't actually remember that game.
You not remember the ball bouncing round the area and then falling to Klinsmann who scored a sublime scissor type kick.
13. could have been even better, I think I recall Berbatov missing a very presentable chance to make it 5-4. That would have got it higher!
It's funny and I am not to sure why but Eidur Gudjohnsen's goal against Stoke always stays with me. I think it was to do with the fact that he fought off the usual 'strong' tackles from the Stoke bully boys and slammed it into the net. We had won where we had often crumbled against the hard men. Spurs had shown 'strength at last.
It was Cudicini in goal and it was actually a very good save, annoyingly. [video=youtube;723qPWF6oZ4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=723qPWF6oZ4[/video] Starts at about 7.33.
I can't believe this wasn't mentioned... [video=youtube;DIJ4rHPWsKs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIJ4rHPWsKs[/video] (Skip to 3:04)
Why can't I get over the Defoe miss that would have made it a 3 goal comeback and a 2-3 lead against City...that thin line again. So many great moments...that 9-1 was just schoolboy stuff, crazy Roy of the Rovers stuff...I w smokin a herbal cig so had to borrow my mates fingers to count the goals. I even started a thread on the old606 stating that we will 5-1, how wrong of me!
Just thinking the same thing...... A very special moment. And I had quite forgotten how awesome Gallas was that day.
Klinsmann v Shef wed at home 94 season I think, Cut in from the right midfield towards the Paxton and lashed it in from 25yrs. I was right behind it
Glad to see Crouch at No.1, considering the ridiculous amount of unfair abuse he got from many Spurs 'supporters'. I use that term in a very loose sense indeed.
