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.

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!!
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 have this on the website I set up.......just scroll down the timeline.....

I was standing on the Bob Bank that day in line with Peter King's volley. I always think of it as the best City goal I have ever seen.
Peter King always seemed to be a very unassuming character, a very good player. Only 5 players in our history have played more games in total for us. He is a City Legend, an attribution given these days by fans to far too many undeserving players. I stand to be corrected but I can't recall any pictures of Peter King in concourses or in the various levels in the main stand. If this is the case then it needs to corrected.
Yes, I agree. I remember him as someone with no great strengths to his game, t more importantly, there weren't any real weakness either - he was a good, solid seven or eight out of ten every week and I would have thought he was someone who would have coped with First Division football if we'd been promoted in 1971.
What about Jason Fowlers chip against Brentford.
An honourable mention to Mark Delaneys length of the pitch solo goal against Chester City in FA Cup.
