    Troy Deeney's goal against Leicester being in the news again this week set me thinking - I'd like to start a framed photo collection of 'Iconic Goal of the Decade'. The thought received further inspiration by finding this on Facebook today - https://www.facebook.com/watfordfc/...7J2yLjsxzw5E2xK5BtPaPs6gV1Coh5DxbcWhxm7hnrBxl

    - although the goal I have in mind isn't included there - Jay DeMerit's.

    Before starting the hunt for suitable photos, I guess I have to decide which goals fit the bill - and my obvious problem is that having been overseas for 30 years, I'm missing two decades. So far, I'm thinking:

    1960s - Scully's goal at Old Trafford in the FA Cup;
    1970s - Endean's goal that knocked Liverpool out of the FA cup;
    1980s - ??
    1990s - ??
    2000s - Jay DeMerit's in the play-off final against Leeds;
    2010s - Troy Deeney in the play-off semi against Leicester;
    2020s - has there been one?

    Any thoughts?

    Sarr's goal this season was briilliant.

    I also remember Franks against Stoke

    True. I'll have to have a look for a video of both the 4-0 games.

    Both Sarr and Deeney against Liverpool.
    I've just realised, that game was 2019

    Finally decided:
    60s - Scully at Old Trafford
    70s - Endean against Liverpool
    80s - Riley against Plymouth
    90s - Wright against Bolton
    00s - DeMerit against Leeds
    10s - Deeney against Leicester
    20s - Deeney against Liverpool

    Now have to hunt down suitable photos online.

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the mention BB, I will look in the loft for a pic.
    Pity Lloyd D didn't get a place. Unique if not iconic but it was a good header.

    What is particularly worrying is that I remember all those goals over seven decades and where I was when they were scored. I suppose that isn't as worrying as not remembering.
