Absolutely. I was 16 years old, sitting in the top tier behind the other goal, directly in line, knew it was going in as soon as Gascoigne struck it. Amazing goal, amazing day, amazing player.
Your teams most memorable goal.....

The Gary McAlister derby winning goal at the pit on a Easter Monday was fantastic.
Their lot were foaming at the mouth in despair!

As I didn't witness the Watson goal at Wembley to win the FA Cup Final due to having to work, I'd have to go with Paul Rodgers winning goal in the Auto Windscreens Shield against Millwall at Wembley in 1999.. A fairly dire game in all honesty.. This was made even better by the fact that I had a tenner on Rodgers as First Goal Scorer at 25/1..

Probably a header in Germany, closely followed by a header in Amsterdam.

Two that stick out.
Davie Cooper.
Free-kick against the sheep (Aberdeen) in the Skol League Cup Final. Thunderbolt of a shot into Jim Leightons goal.
Leighton famously said to Coop at the national squad get together that he almost got a hand on it, Coop replied 'aye, on the way back out'.
Davie Cooper.
Kept the ball in the air with around 4 or 5 touches whilst weaving past half of the Mhanky mhob (celtic) defence in the Drybrough Cup Final. Long regarded as Rangers greatest goal even although those who have seen it regard Sandy Jardine' s goal in the same game as being better.
Both are worth a few minutes on Google. Check out Coops lazy run against Ilves Tampere whilst you're at it, incredibly skilfull player.

David Hopkin v Sheffield Utd
Division One Play-off Final - May 26, 1997
Andy Roberts played a short corner to Simon Rodger whose inswinging cross was headed out by Carl Tiler. The ball fell to David Hopkin 25 yards out and he took one touch before smacking a curling shot that flew into the top corner.
It was a beaut and took us Into the top flight and I was right in line with it flying into the net

Robin Friday's goal against Tranmere, when we won 5-0, 1975/6 season from memory. He was also the 'greatest footballer you never saw' though I saw most of his homes games for us, including when he kissed a policeman after scoring. Ironic as he hated the law.
Clive Thomas the referee reckoned it was the best goal he ever saw. It appears that at least 50,000 Reading fans where there if you read the football forums.
I had one of the best seats in the ground that night, as my mate had broken his leg, and we were allowed to sit down at the front, with an unrestricted view. Not always the case at Elm Park.

Derry City legend Liam Coyle scoring in his last appearance to preserve Derry's top flight status in a promotion / regulation battle against our local rivals Finn Harps. the video is labelled wrongly on youtube. 0-0 in the first leg. this was it, lose we go down, win to stay up.
[video=youtube;SA0WVm5cpf8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA0WVm5cpf8[/video]
pure drama!
Dubbed the Battle of the Brandywell[1] by the media, there was a huge amount at stake in this game - the second leg of the 2003 League of Ireland Promotion/Relegation Play-Off final. The game decided which of the clubs would play in the following season's Premier and First Divisions. The loser was to be resigned to playing in the lower tier while the winner was to be rewarded with the top-tier place. Derry City, having qualified for the play-offs after finishing ninth in the Premier Division, came into the game facing the daunting prospect of relegation while Finn Harps, having qualified by finishing third in the First Division, faced a potential promotion. To add further flavour to the tie, Derry had never been relegated from and division they had played in their history. Relegation would have proved a huge blow and a major humiliation.
The first leg had finished 0-0 at Finn Park on 10 December 2003, so all was still to play for. Noel King led Finn Harps into the game after previously managing Derry and guiding them to a League of Ireland title in 1997. Inflatable sheep could be seen floating over the heads of fans in the old 'Jungle' area of the stadium, while Derry came in for criticism from offended Finn Harps officials after the game, as prior to the game's beginning, a rendition of Baa Baa Black Sheep was played over the Brandywell PA system in order to taunt the opposition. The officials were also critical of the handling of security by Derry's private stewards in the stadium and a suggestion that the RUC might have done a better job was not received well in Derry. A large pitch invasion occurred after the final whistle was blown and certain Finn Harps fans had felt threatened by the excited behaviour of some of Derry's supporters.[2] Derry are unique, due to the political situation in Northern Ireland, in that they do not have a police presence inside their ground.
By the end of the tense affair, the Finn Harps manager had also been sent from the dug-out by the referee, Alan Kelly, for losing his cool after protesting Derry's second goal in extra-time. The Derry striker, Liam Coyle, had received the ball from a quick Ciaran Martyn free-kick and as he went down under the challenge of Shane Bradley, the ball rolled past goal-keeper Gary Ramsey and into the Harps' net. Confusion abounded in the Finn Harps defence and their players had seemed to stall in response as if to suggest they believed that they had heard a whistle or that play had been brought to a halt by the referee for the bad tackle on Coyle. Two of King's players, Shane Bradley and Kevin McHugh, were also later sent off from the field of play in separate incidents during the fiery second half of extra-time. McHugh's earlier equaliser had also caused controversy. The extraordinary amount of stoppage time played, which allowed McHugh the time and chance to score, was looked upon with a degree of scepticism by Derry's support, while his celebration infuriated certain others. After hitting the back of the net with the ball, McHugh ran straight for the dog-track, crouched down and ran along on his hands and knees, emulating the actions of a racing greyhound.[3]
The game was also City veteran Liam Coyle's last game as a player.

“Arsenal come streaming forward now in surely what will be their last attack. A good ball by Dixon, finding Smith, for Thomas, charging through the midfield. Thomas, it's up for grabs now! Thomas! Right at the end! An unbelievable climax to the league season.â€
