Best Headed Goals
« on August 16, 2024, 10:40:27 am by Fal »
Since we have one on the best left footed strikes, why not the best headed goals.

Staying away from the obvious Wembley and JPT headers, here is one of my favourites from Hayter

Hugh Dowd, at home vs Exeter (81 or 82) Friday vending on Leger weekend.

Header at the Rosso end from the penalty area D.  Keeper had no chance..

More recently but can’t remember if it was a header or not, Rob Jones’ last gasp winner at Stevenage..  checked - it was..

The obvious one is Hayters v Weeds but he also scored an outrageous header at Watford away I think.

See the opening comment, that watford goal is what i linked.

Sharp at scunny when he whipped his shirt off and pissed all their fans off.

Dave Morley at Stoke has to be the winner though, what a header.

Even more recently.
Biggins at home against barrow. Sent the entire eco-power into carnage

Never ever forget that. Carnage in the stands, we don’t see that often.

Hayter scored a right header from the penalty spot against Watford from a Stocky left footed cross. I used to think Hayter was the best header of the ball compared to his size I’ve seen he scored a great diving header at Luton and another at Hartlepool.

That Biggins headed goal from Tommys cross at the end of last season will take some beating ! Pure Poetry……

Rob Jones away at Stevenage. Simply no way he was letting us lose or draw that game.

For me, the best headed goal of all time has to be Geoff Houchen's for Coventry City in the FA Cup Final against Spurs. Total cracker of a goal

Hard one this, I must have watched countless Douglas and Bruno headers, I think I have a hazy memory of a good Jonny muir header too.

That useless centre half called Taylor in Stan Anderson's team had an uncanny knack of scoring good headers - usually from corners.

BrianTaylor came from Middlesbrough with Peter Creamer , who himself became a policeman and was the manager of Brandon United who we played in the F A Cup 1st round. Brian Taylor used to play with his socks rolled down, tough player who never took a backwards step

Brian Taylor was originally from Hodthorpe which is near Whitwell, and that is where Joe Davis the past master snooker player is from

The third goal at Charlton, headed in by Marquis following an amazing move at speed by May and Wilks.
I will never forget that moment and people I never knew jumping on me to celebrate, unbelievable moment in the away end.
Sadly it only lasted a few minutes.

Anyone remember Bayo’s header at Bristol Rovers in our league 2 title winning season under Penney? Can’t find it on t’interweb.  That always sticks in my mind. It was that goal that settled my nerves and gave me confidence that we were going to win the league that year.
