[shetlandhibee]

Either riordans

wonder goal vs hearts or latapys goal in the 6-2 game vs hearts

[wearethehibs]

Im stuck between 3
Stokes v Huns at Ibrox
Stokes v Huns 12seconds
Or that knob Mikey Stewert's wonder volley v Aberdeen in the scottish cup.

Those 3 jumped to mind straight away for recentish great goals.

[Hiber-nation]

Latapy...twisting...turning....

[Paisley Hibby]

Andy Goram's goal against Morton :greengrin

[lyonhibs]

Latapy...twisting...turning....

......a lovely 1-2, that is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL from Russel Latapy. 6 of the best for Hibs, they've been simply stunning"

One of the best pieces of commentary on any football game ever. That goal has to be it for me.

[Wheat Hound]

G'OC in the last minute v THEM. THEY have scored so many last minute winners against us it's sickening. This was the only occasion in the last 30 years or so that we reversed this and it felt marvellous !!!

How's about this then? Hope it plays ok.

[Broken Gnome]

Is this where everyone gets best goal mixed up with favourite goal?

[hibbybrian]

25th August 1979

Ralph Callachan goal v Dundee

dribbled past 4 defenders into the box then dummied the goalie that he was going to shoot to his left and dinked the ball to the goalies right - even the Glasgow Herald were impressed

8710

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Is this where everyone gets best goal mixed up with favourite goal?

Exactly! theres a big difference.

I remember Hunter scoring on the volley at the cow shed end from a corner and Torfasson doing something similar for St Mirren at the other end, what a pair of strikes!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Hibs 4th in the cup against Celtic in the 4-3 game at ER might be a favourite tho!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Oops, just noticed SPL goal, i still love that 4-3 game though!

[ancient hibee]

Bobby Duncan versus Napoli or Willie Hamlton cup tie winner against Rangers,

[Hiber-nation]

Remember it well, unbelievable goal and what a pity Ralphie didn't do it more often!

One of Des Bremner's last games I think. Then it all went pear-shaped :boo hoo:

[Pretty Boy]

Latapy...twisting...turning....

This. Or Zitellis overhead kick at Dens.

[Halifaxhibby]

Where to start?

Zitelli hit a few screamers
Deeks against them from 30 yards
Charnley against the tic from in his own half
Maginley from his own half
Goram from his own box!!
Joe Mcbride free kick against them mid 80's
Doyle and spoony in the last 2 weeks!!!

Too many great goals to choose one!!

Even tho that commentary wasn't exactly what it said:greengrin


'6 of the best for the Hibees, They've been just stunning'.


BTW Riordan at hame against Hearts wins this best goal malarky hands doon. Absolute screamer.

[lyonhibs]

Och, away and ***** you! That attempt was from memory, no recited off a Youtube clip :greengrin

The Riordan goal is famous for my mate uttering the immortal words as Riordan lined the strike up:

"Don't f***ing shoo.........................................<mayhem>"

[YehButNoBut]

Like others have said don't see how you can top this one :hibees

It's "six of the best for Hibs".

"Hibs are on the prowl again in a menacing mood. Russell Latapy, twisting, turning, lovely one-two, that is absolutely wonderful from Russell Latapy. Six of the best for Hibs, they've been just stunning"

[beensaidbefore]

Chic Charnley on Larssons debut.

Remember Charnley pulled at his dredlocks right in font of us, HL went mental and must have thought WTF have i done coming to this place, while Chico ran off laughing.

also seem to remember Pat McGinley scoring one from about 40-odd yards, cant remember when or against who...anyone?

[Jonnyboy]

Latapy volley in the 6-2 game - the moment - the quality :greengrin:top marks

My old man also scored a cracker that day at Easter Road. His was better though, as his was doon the slope :greengrin



He was on the pitch at half-time hitting penalties along with a few others as a 'Carlsberg Penalty King'.

[Sweet Left Peg]

Where to start?

Zitelli hit a few screamers
Deeks against them from 30 yards
Charnley against the tic from in his own half

:hibees

Chico's goal from inside his own half -and uphill btw- was against Alloa in the cup. He scored a cracker vs Celtic after Larsson's first touch in Scottish football lost possession to him.

[sbell1875]

:agree: From 4.45 mins (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gUn9IRZoK0)in

Watching this brings a tear to my eye. Easily one of the greatest nights of my life.

[mim]

Bobby Duncan versus Napoli or Willie Hamlton cup tie winner against Rangers,

So many to choose from, from so many great players, but it's Duncan's goal for me too. Not only was it a screamer past Dino Zoff, but it set Hibs on the road to one of the most incredible comebacks in European football history.

[hibsbollah]

Konte's 'stumbler' in Latvia against the might of Dinaburg.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Beedie or McCluskey in the Souness game, sun beating down, the east going mental, proper football!

[Broken Gnome]

Can't really think of many great Hibs team goals over the years. Latapy scored a good one up at Perth after a good 20 passes, any others stand out?

[BurghHibby]

Jimmy O'Rourke's diving header against Celtic in the 72 league cup final, quality!

[Mon Dieu4]

Konte's 'stumbler' in Latvia against the might of Dinaburg.

his crab goal against motherwell to get us into Europe was better

[Thecat23]

Agathe against Dundee when Dundee had a cracking side. We lost an early goal I think and smashed them 4 or 5-1. It felt He beat just about everyone on the park dodging some meaty tackles and slipped it past the keeper. I was in those old glass boxes at the time sitting with the then new signing.. David Zitelli. He couldn't believe the football being played that day.

[Scott Allan Key]

Watching this brings a tear to my eye. Easily one of the greatest nights of my life.

I'll second that. That goal by Latapy is better than Archie Gemmill's. :cb I'm not biased. Do we have a winner?

[pogo]

Always remember this cracker from Michael O'Neill, absolute peach of a volley:thumbsup:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgDNxueTtA

From 2.50 in.:not worth

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Konte's 'stumbler' in Latvia against the might of Dinaburg.

Big Fat Frank breaking the seats was funnier tho!

[edinburghhibee]

My choice is Russell's goal in the 6-2 game like most others but I remember a racker being scored in the 1st division by Barry penterville??? Sure that was his name loan signing from Coventry I think.

Anyway I was in the east and he collected the ball must have been 35-40 yards out and smashed it into the top corner. Of the goal in front of the south.

[linlithgowhibbie]

25th August 1979

Ralph Callachan goal v Dundee

dribbled past 4 defenders into the box then dummied the goalie that he was going to shoot to his left and dinked the ball to the goalies right - even the Glasgow Herald were impressed

8710

I agree with Hibbybrian, was wonderfful, and i'm sure it wasn't even on a tv anywhere, pur magic from a magician on his day

[Stevie Reid]

Latapy 6-2 and O'Neill volley v Motherwell are my top two - not just incredible goals but in great games of football too (and under the floodlights, which always makes it better).

Agathe solo v Dundee probably 3rd.

[Lee0762]

You cannae beat the Latapy goal against them. Just remembered this peach aswell from Zitelli against AEK Athens, 3:40 in. What an atmosphere at Easter Road that night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hz2FkQlAkdk :flag:

[hibees 7062]

Gorams against Morton , you knew it was a goal as soon as it left his foot

Close. His name was Barry Prenderville. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Aye, Barry Prenderville - I remember shouting "don't hit it!" just before he scored that peach :greengrin

IIRC we tried to get him but Coventry wanted too much money - think his career went rapidly down hilll afterwards.

[Stevie Reid]

Gorams against Morton , you knew it was a goal as soon as it left his foot

:greengrin

Think the fact that David Wylie had been knocked unconscious a few minutes prior to the goal helped, seem to remember him juggling the ball for a couple of seconds before it went in. We were right behind Goram's goal that day, was great to celebrate with him - also saw him score the winning penalty in a shootout v Clydebank at that end (opposite one from the Morton one).

[hibsbollah]

his crab goal against motherwell to get us into Europe was better

Its funny how all Konte's moves have their own special name :agree: The Crab goal against Motherwell, The Stumbler against Dinaburg, The Climbing The Tree header against the bar assist for Deanos winner against the yams, and my favourite The Drunken Giraffe dive against Celtc.

[brog]

A couple of weeks later McGinlay did it against Killie at ER

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNqrMxkAkYM

Thx John, I'd never seen before!!
The Ralph Callachan goal was amazing but not on tv so apart from those mentioned I'll go for Michael O'Neill against Motherwell. Ivan's 2nd & 3rd at Ibrox were tremendous as was Scott Brown's at Darkheid the same season.
My own fav involved my hero Joe Baker against Killie at ER. Willie Toner, Killie CH ( & future Hibee ) was tipped for a Scotland call up until Joe destroyed him. We won 4-0, 4 second half goals up the hill & Joe scored the 3rd. He started at the half way line beat 2 or 3 different players by flicking ball over their heads & finally hit ball on volley into roof of net from 20 yards - superb. 50+years ago & seems like yesterday!

[Owain_1987]

I would say mine was Deeks against Hearts, I was bored the other night and made a youtube video of the best goals I have seen live and I would say Deeks goal is the best goal I have ever seen live! Here is my video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=KUo9K7bDBww) if you want to see some random goals and the random football games I get to. :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

Another beauty from Zitelli


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_yGw6g0Y-s

Didn't even win goal of the month!

Gordon Smith gave it to some hun.

[HibbyAndy]

Beedie or McCluskey in the Souness game, sun beating down, the east going mental, proper football!



Wasn't it Beedie and Cowan Hutch?.. Also recall that day as a fresh faced young boy. East was going mental when it all kicked of with Mclusky..Super ersehole Mccoist punched Fulton in the puss when the melee in the middle was going on and ran away..Little sissy that he is.


Can still remember that morning chokin on the time going fast so i could go and watch the Hibees, Its never changed for me really, I still live and breathe Hibs.

[Gala Foxes]

Ralph Callachan
August 1979
Dundee @ Easter Road
Won 5-2

Callachan dribbled past the entire Dundee defence, the keeper, the whole away support, 6 stewards, 2 guys selling spearmint chewing gum + Macaroon bars, 4 cops, 2 of the guys that used to go round the track selling wagon wheels, Stewart Brown from the Evening News, Arthur Montford, PA Announcer Bill Barclay and the Silver Fox Hibs Team Bus

Tremendous goal.

I was going to vote for McGinley but after that description, which I have no reason to doubt, I'm with you. Callachan it is


"Oh, Ralphie Ralphie,
Ralphie, Ralphie, Ralphie, Ralphie,
Ca-la-han"

They don't write songs like they used to!

:greengrin

[edinburghhibee]

Close. His name was Barry Prenderville. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thts the fella, I'm terrible with names.:top marks

[Johnny0762]

Darren Jackson -v- Dundee Utd, Tynecastle, League Cup Semi.

Just for the wild celebrations in the old Shed.

[KWJ]

Too many people doing as 4-4-2 say not to, "getting misty eyed". I'd probably go a wee bit that way with Riordan's or Latapy's too but this would be right up there, just a shame we lost.

Ahhh :agree:

One for us old gits :greengrin

What a peach that one was, but the whole night was a dream :agree:

That is my one too was an unbelievable piece of skill.

Archie goal. Debatable whether its the greatest goal but certainly greatest celebration that I've been in

[allezsauzee]

Pat McGinlay scoring from the half way line against Killie a week or so after Chico Charnley had done the same in the league cup. Paddy's was better because he hit it first time

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Aye, it was Cowan instead of Beastie.

Closest to the Athens game for atmosphere I can think of, changed days more recently unfortunately.

8710

Best goal I've ever witnessed so to speak, as opposed to seeing many great goals on TV/Video/Dvd etc. What was amazing was that RC beat all the Dundee defenders the same way with a faint and drag back. He could have knocked it in on about three separate occasions but kept beating the defenders as they "turned up". Great game as well which was not unusual as we always seemed to have really good footballing matches with Dundee.

[Skanko79]

agathe v dundee or latapy volley v hearts in 6-2 game.

[Spike Mandela]

Erich Schaedler rampaging down the wing forcing it through to Arthur Duncan who whips in a beautiful cross to be met with the best header I have ever seen by Alan Gordon who headers it down away from the goalie at such an angle that it hits both posts...............oh, and it was goal number 7.

[deeks01]

My best ever hibs goal was the one I scored in my dream against Hearts to win the Scottish cup , screamer it was floated through midfield took a pass left to maroon clad twats on their ***** with trickery that Zemamma would have been proud of and rifled it in from 30 yards before running to celebrate in front of the crowd... Only just beats the one I scored for Scotlsnd in the World Cup final.

On a serious note the BEST goal I've ever seen from a hibs player was Mikey Stewarts wonder volley versus the sheep. My FAVOURITE however is Derek Riordans screamer versus hearts at Easter Road.

[Mon1875]

Chic Charnley's half way line goal up the slope. Never caught on video but was amazing to watch.

Plus all 6 against Hearts :thumbsup:

Cracking stuff. Remember thinking who is this guy Celtic signed. Charnley just made an arse of him. Didnt think that way thereafter though lol.

Andy Goram v Morton (unfortunately I was in the toilets in the Cowshed at the time)
Keith Wright v Rangers (LC SF 91 - unfortunately I was 2/3rds the way up the steps at Hampden, late due to traffic delays getting into Glasgow)
