Best left footed strikes for Rovers

[IDM]

Gareth Roberts away at Posh.  Left hand corner of the penalty area, just outside I think, hits the ball with the outside of his left foot resulting in an inswinger into the opposite corner.  I was in the stand right behind that shot, it was something else..

Checked it out, was inside the box but a volley too, this bad quality clip is from the other side..  goal about 1 min 12 secs..

Wasn't Kieron Brady left footed?

If so, I'll have the one at Scunthorpe away in 92 please.

Edit. Just checked, he was left footed.

That has to be right up there with the best BB. 
I was right in line with that shot and it was in from the moment he hit it.

Well, I think so mate!

Martin Woods vs Forest away is up there for best team goal.

[MachoMadness]

Martin Woods also scored an absolute screamer of a left foot volley from 30 yards out in the early days at the keepmoat Vs Rotherham... For Rotherham, though, sadly!

Brooker was at home vs Leicester..

But was right footed..

This has sent me; I had vivid memories of Brooker half-volleying this in... but from the other corner of the penalty area. I'm now left wondering how many of my other memories of Rovers goals are in fact a lie.

Not lies. Just slightly embellished over time.

Jay Emmanuel Thomas at the Keepmoat, rocket from out of nowhere.

Thank you, spent quite some time looking for that!

I remember Freddie Piquionne (spelling?) scoring a rocket of a shot too, maybe away at Forest.
Was that a left footer, my head says yes but I’m not totally sure.

[ravenrover]

Definitely away at Forest, night game

And who was the no5 slotting home the penalty.??

Good to see Savage on the losing side too..

‘M surprised that nobody has mentioned any David Cotterill strikes. He got one or two crackers, as did Albert Broadbent back in the day.

I considered Cotterill, but wasn't he right-footed?

[jmt23]

That JET goal for me, never heard a crowd reaction like it. The speed and power it flew in the net, and by the way, the clip did not do it justice.
There was a very loud intake of breath from all sides before the rovers fans begun to cheer.

It was 8 men we won with at Valley Parade Brian. Not 9.

I think memory can play tricks Bob. We were both there that day and I must say I also had it in my head we were down to 8. But the records show only 2 red cards (Butterworth and Harle), and Tony Bluff's History of Rovers book talks about winning with 9 men, which suggests no-one went off injured (only 1 sub in those days). Maybe the Red Baron can confirm.

[BobG]

Really? That's mind blowing. To me, the memorable fact that made that day so special was finishing with 8 men.   Rovers had a goalie, Parker on loan from Barnsley up front and the rest strung in a line across the pitch marshalled by Ian. If we finished with 9 players then that means a line of 7 across the pitch. That just doesn't sound either feasible or true to me.

Poll now closed - we have a winner - but only just

[Ldr]

Didn’t Mcindoe score a 3 touch left footer ? Flick up, touch and spin, bang?

[drfchound]

You have just reminded me of McIndoes goal against Arsenal.
