That was good - hopeful strike perhaps?

But for me it has to be Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
Pretty much started the move, the depth touch by Whitts.
Magic.

It’s the best I saw scored there and I’d be pretty surprised if there was one better than it.

What about Darren Purse in the Leicester game?

A classic of its type, but not even the best own goal I’ve seen from a City centre back, Don Murray’s delicate lob from thirty five yards over Bob Wilson I think it was in a game against Millwall (1967?) wins that award.

There probably isn't any footage of that, unfortunately. While not from a centre back, Jason Perry's og at home to Crewe was another delight.

Depends how you define 'best'. Technique is in the Whitts archive. But this was just fantastic. Great kit too!

Hasselbainks is one of my favourites, as is Stephen McPhails vs Hull

Apart from some bloopers from Richard Shepherd, I've never seen that goal since the game itself. I thought that McPhail was much closer to the left hand side as I looked when I saw the goal live, then remembered the cameras were on the bob bank and I was in the grandstand for that game!!

Both that and the Peter King goal are amazing fair play. I still rate the John Buchanan goal as my all time favourite, even if it was a bit of a fluke! (Cardiff vs Swansea 1980). The video on YouTube seems to have disappeared sadly.

I was at the back of the Bob bank, when Wayne Hughes took the free kick. and finished up at the front by the time we finished celebrating Buchanans rocket
I’d be hard pressed to pick one of the fantastic goals that Whitts scored as there were so many to choose from, but for sheer pleasure and excitement that goal 40 odd years ago has to be up there

Well done lads.

Yes it was good, yes many cardiff fans applauded it, but it gets brought up far too often in these chats imo.

Shit, just realised it’s me that’s brought it up this time.

I was just going to mention it :hehe: people tend to forget goals from our opponents can’t think of any others that stick in the mind like that one.
