Wanting inspiration for a video i may do soon, or should i do the best 20? there's a few obvious ones but it depends if i hold the footage of the less known, any idea's?
[video=youtube;C8wofeqdwzY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8wofeqdwzY[/video] One of the best i can remember
Geo - Arsenal Ashbee - Yeovil Hawley - Sunderland Bostock - Swansea Elliot - Forgotten who it was against Delaney - Bristol Rovers Geo -Fulham (just because of it being our first Premier League goal)
Was the Elliott one where he scored from just inside his own half? If it was it was against Brentford
That's the one! Although there's a few of Elliot's that could make it, some of his headers from almost outside the area were amazing. Maybe Barmby's away at Sheff Wednesday also. Obviously Deano at Wembley should probably be in the top 10 too.
I've tried to find the on youtube but alot have been taken off. I've tried Amber Nectar's footage on their youtube link but to no avail. I'd include Barmby's v the Wendies at Hillsborough in the 4-2 match and all, although he scored an awful lot against them if i recall. It was a peach.

Windass - Wembley Geo - Arsenal Cousin - Arsenal Geo - Spurs Folan - winner v Fulham Billy Whitehurst - FA Cup away win Bradford Billy Whitehurst - Liverpool FA Cup Andy Payton Too many one on ones which our current strikers could learn from
You have to decide whether they're based on the quality of technique (e.g. Stuart Green vs Derby) or what they meant to the club and the fans (e.g. Folan vs Fulham).
My 10 favourites from the last 12 years. Deano - Wembley Geovanni - Arsenal Delaney - Rochdale Elliott - Brentford Ashbee - Torquay Eyre - Leyton Orient Geovanni - Fulham Barmby - Sheffield Wednesday (2004) Campbell - West Brom Hinds - Macclesfield
dont think that would be far off mine....dont rememebr hinds off top of my head tho, also really liked one of stuart elliots away at plymouth, it wasnt a tyipcal elliot goal in some ways, no power, floated one over the keepers head from about 20 yards, would also probably have bostock away at leeds too, that was some strike.
My favourite goal for years was one Richard Jobson scored v Plymouth in 1988-1989 I miss Jobbo he had so much class
Barmby's goal in the play off semi final v Watford at the KC. Might not be the most spectacular of goals but the determination and focus he showed to get the ball over the line was incredible. Would we have gone on to win the game without that goal?? Maybe, but it knocked the stuffing out of Watford. Watford were beaten that night by that goal, if Barmby hadn't scored to equalise at a crucial time we may never have got to see City at Wembley or in the Prem.
Surprised nobody ever mentions geo's free kick against tottenham. One of the best free kicks you'll see in my opinion. The one angle from behind him shows the whip he gets on the ball and it's stunning.
There was a video on YouTube uploaded soon after the game of that goal taken by a spurs fan from the main stand....it was decent quality too and you could see the bend of the ball as it went it...unfortunately it got taken down soon after for some reason,which was a great shame.
Geo's goal V Spurs looked sensational on the Telly, he wasn't with us for long but I'm guessing he's a city legend no matter what
