What is the best Hibs goal you have seen at Easter Road

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

As the title suggests. Can't think of too many as I am kinda young, but this one stands out :thumbsup:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6kCi33Vdb-g#

What's yours?

[Nando™]

Sparky's free kick against the crooks was a particular belter.

[Mr White]

Chic charnley v alloa or russell's for number 6.

[greenpaper55]

Bobby Duncan Versus Napoli with Dino Zoff in goal.

[Thecat23]

Didier Agathe v Dundee! If it was Messi or Ronaldo folk would be raving about it to this day.

He took the ball at the half way line and beat everyman that tried to half him then slid it past the keeper. Really was something else.

Not sure if it's the best but one from nigh on the same position from Ally Scott against Rangers that he caught on the half volley. Just gonna see if I can find it on YouTube.

Neil Orr against Aberdeen, late 80's. Cut inside Willie Miller and curled a peach into the top corner. I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago, I asked him about the goal and he said "I thought Miller was going to chop me down so I just hit it"!😂���
Although not the best I was also in the cowshed the day Goram decided to cut out the middle man and score himself against Morton. Maybe Butcher should sign him!!!!

[Lago]

May I be allowed to list more than 1.

Joe Harpers goal against Liverpool. Arthur Duncan wide running full pelt down the slop crosses for Harper to hit it first time from outside the box.

Danny Lennon against Aberdeen, volley into top left, keeper didn't even move.

Pat Stanton against Rangers, header from the edge of the box. Now maybe someone can help because I seem to remember that Pat score 2 in that game both almost identical headers, would that be right or am I getting confused in my old age.

Worth noting all the goals scored at what is now the FF end, then just down the slope. Great days.

Russell against them was a beautiful goal.

GOC against them when we won 1-0, the place went just mental.

It was and i was there to see it
Sparky v them at swynie last year is up with the best of them
George best v celtic was also a good goal

[iwasthere1972]

Bobby Duncan Versus Napoli with Dino Zoff in goal.

Mine too. The first European night I attended.
After just five minutes he took a short pass from Jim Scott, and held off a couple of tackles before cracking a 25-yard left-footer high into the net.

[eggbamyasi]

Sauzee corner goal was a beauty . And latapy against yams make it 6

I'd honestly find it hard to say what was the best but I still fondly remember George Best's goal against Celtc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVT-cgqKJsE)


The footage doesn't do it justice, you probably had to be there.

[lord bunberry]

Riordan against hearts was certainly one of the best, that lanky hearts **** in goals seen it all the way but still couldn't stop it

[Scorrie]

One of my favourites was Eddie May's headed winner in the 4-3 win over Celtic in the SC in 1986. Cross from Harris I think it was and May's diving header won the match in the last minute. What a match that was!

[Tom Hart RIP]

Bobby Duncan Versus Napoli with Dino Zoff in goal.
Agreed.

My Dad and Brother were in hospitality for this game, and spoke to the referee (Jim McCluskey I think) after the game, and he said it was the best match he'd ever been involved in. MON's goal and Leighton's save at the end were amazing.


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

[Tom Hart RIP]

Remember an ally McLeod effort against Motherwell???
Brought ball down on his chest and sent keeper the wrong way before casually rolling it into opposite corner. Sheer class

[Hibiza]

Eddie Mays " rasper" against the yams. Goram's golie kick. :flag:

[Disshibee]

Agreed.

It was reported in the press that Bobby skelped it in from 25 yards but, unless my memory is playing tricks with the passing of time, I thought it was just inside their half! The mighty Baker Boy scored a few crackers as well but that first goal against Napoli and Zoff will live with me for ever.

[McSwanky]

Third goal on this video...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgJNtspn-ys

Maybe not the very best, but class just for the "did that just happen?" moment...

Edit: Oops, didn't click that it was supposed to be at ER. Oh well.....

Luna equaliser vs aek was up there. Russell vs them. When I was younger, dirk lehmenns goals vs Motherwell after our last promotion and kenny miller vs rangers in a 2-2 draw I think.

[SteveHFC]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F36L51_1fqo

[MrRobot]

Hard to pick a best, there is Riordan in the 2-2 game against Hearts, there is Mikey Stewart in the cup on the volley(think it was Aberdeen we were playing...cant quite remember)

But the pick of the best is Latapy against Hearts. The play was outstanding and the finish itself was sublime.

[emerald green]

I've seen so many great goals at ER over the years I can't chose one that I feel is the best.

One that comes to mind was scored by Kevin Harper against the Yaks - the winner if my memory serves me correctly. I was in the old east terracing as it was then. Harper picked up the ball just inside his own half and ran with the ball for what seemed like ages, fending off challenges, before placing a beautifully controlled shot into the back of their net.

There was total bedlam in the old east terracing. I think that made it 2-1 for Hibs.

Basher's goal was decent as well! What a difference though, this was a Hibs team staring relegation in the face, going up against the best Hearts team in a long time, who were chasing a title - look what McLeish instilled in this team, compared to Butcher's failures last season, against the worst Hearts team in living memory, already relegated.

Anyway...a great day from a very bad season: -

One of my favourite games.

http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/game.php?gameid=77962

Dunno if both goals were headers but one certainly was and the other was scored from a similar position, as you say edge of the box.

I think there is mention in one of the Hibs books about this game, Turnbull told Stanton to take up a Centre forward position any time he could as Rangers' (remember them!!?!!) defenders would be marking up Harper.

All over them that day.

[Billychaotic182]

Mikey Stewarts Volly against Aberdeen in the cup replay was one I remember at the top of my head

[Kato]

- look what McLeish instilled in this team, compared to Butcher's failures last season,

McLeish would be an influence but what you had there was a group of players who actually gave a f***.

Last seasons Hide and Seek World Champions just didn't have what it takes to play for Hibs. (copyright M. Weir)

Harpers volley against them on New Years day. They thought they were going to walk it as we had just been hammered 7-0 at Ibrox.
O'Neill and Harper shut them right up that day!!!!

Was a massive influence. That team had lost 15 of its last 20 league games before his arrival, only lost 3 of our last 10 games after his arrival - too many draws killed us.

Anyway, digressing from what is a positive thread, my apologies.

[The Harp]

Ralph Callachans doing an Archie Gemmil

Yep! Ralph Callachan's goal in a 5-2 win against Dundee in August '79. Never seen a better goal, before or since - unfortunately, no cameras there to capture it for posterity.
Not a good season for either club - we were both relegated.

[lugz]

The 6th from Latapy, a truly special goal to complete a special night.

Yeh, totally agree, that was a brilliant individual goal. It should also be pointed out that he was fouled at least 3 times and still tucked it away.

[Two Halves]

Agree with a fair few so far that Russell's to make it six was a belter!

Dont know why but i always remember the goal Riordan scored against Dundee about 10 years ago that was cut off, for offside i think, that would have put us 5-1 up, as it turned out we ended up drawing that one 4 all! It was a cracker of a volley from the left hand side of the box that went into the right corner!

They tried to boot him but he just stayed on his feet and stuck it in the back of the net. Fair play to the ref by the way as I'd imagine it would be pulled back these days.

Aye I think that was the 1. I'm pretty sure it's the game where Bruno should've been sent off after a blatant boot on Keith Wright.

Thanks for that. In my memory Bobby hit the ball from not far in front of the dug out. I thought at least 40 yards

Agree on all counts. Certainly more like 35 yards than 25. What a goal, what a result, what an occasion.

That goal was a cracker mate . My laddie was at the toilet and missed it . Remember telling him it was one of the best goals ive seen ( dont think it was offside either ) am sure the great Gordon Smith had just passed away . So it was fitting there were plenty goals scored .just a pity we didnt win .

I too remember that goal, however ( for me ) Gordon Hunters volley from a corner was a peach, caught it as sweet as you like and had goal written all over it. Remember saying after the game, well that's the saints manager sacked as a joke, low and behold he was.

However Deek's goal against them was outstanding. As for picking one against all others I can't. As a football fan I thought Gazza's goal against us was excellent, as a Hibs Fan, I thought Gazza's goal was a fluke lol. But I've been blessed to say I've seen some peaches. GGTTH

[TheReg!]

Not the best goal, but for pure satisfaction Lewis Stvenson's goal last season at ER was up there for me.

[1959 Hibby]

For me, two from the season we were relegated in 1980: George Best v Celtic (mentioned by others already) and Ralph Callachan v Dundee - waltzed his way through their entire defence (once again down the slope)

Early 90s mate, but what I do remember about that was the terracing seemed rammed as it was raining heavy and everyone crammed under the roof, mental when the 3rd and 4th went in.
