Which is your favourite hibs forgotten goal? Mines is Gary deegan 30 yarded vs Aberdeen in the cup in 2013. Some strike and can barely find it on YouTube except a fan video.

Luke Berry v Hearts December 2017

[lyonhibs]

Ian Murray Vs Dundee United. He got to ball in our half and then just ran on a slight diagonal before thumping it into the top bin from the edge of the box with his right.

[hibby6270]

Not many saw it. No tv cameras at the game. Crowd about 5000?

Chic Charnley's goal against Alloa in a League Cup tie - late 90's?

Saw the keeper of his line and shot from the halfway line. Sailed straight over the keeper.
Great goal - with his left foot of course.

[Col_0762]

John O'Neil equaliser in the last minute at Tynie. Place went mental.

Derek townsley set him up?

[Col_0762]

Derek townsley set him up?

Could have been. Was that the same game Townsley missed a sitter at the Gorgie end?

Think the Townsley sitter may have been the 4-4 maybe? O'Neils goal came from the right I think, was it maybe O'Connor who crossed it?

[Sprouleflyer]

Gordon Rae volley/half volley against Rangers at ER.
Ralph Callaghan against Dundee at ER, the one where he dribbled around every Dundee player twice!

Did he not do it a week later in a league game as well? Ball sailing through the air and had the goalie beat. Referee blows the whistle for half time and it ends up in the back of the net but didn't count

[hibsbollah]

Agathe vs Dundee.
or O'Connors last minute winner against the hertz in 2001.

[Broken Gnome]

Paul Hanlon v Dunfermline.

[Tom Hart RIP]

Joe's dad v Celtic at ER

[portycabbage]

David Murphy vs Livingston.

Was that the one where he curled with his weaker foot? Doesn't count if so as I've remembered it 😉

For some reason I thought of two Colin Nish goals, one a 30 yard chip and the other where he beat 3 defenders (ok they fell on their *****, it wasn't the most mazy of dribbles)

[Theinsider]

Orman vs Rangers....

[cleanyman]

Tam McManus at Ibrox.

Lost 5-2. A missed penalty was the turning point.

[Mibbes Aye]

My memory is charnley scored his the week after Pat. Chic claiming his was further out than his.

Charnley scored first, up the slope from inside our half. McGinlay was the next home game against Killie and was down the slope. I remember him as being just outside the centre circle, on the East Terrace side and in their half.

[andy1875]

Zitelli overhead kick against Dundee at Dens.

Sure it was around 2001.

We were right behind the goals, an absolute peach.

[emerald green]

Bobby Duncan's opening goal in Hibs 5-0 destruction of Napoli. November 29, 1967.

In doing so, Hibs overturned a three goal deficit from the first leg in Italy, and became the first Scottish club in eight attempts to overcome Italian opposition in a two leg contest.

Hibs had beaten Racing Club of Paris in the previous round, but Hibs went out 2-1 (robbed) to Leeds United in the next round.

Changed days indeed.

[Michael]

Benji vs. Aberdeen in Scottish Cup. Everyone talked about the Michael Stewart goal, but I loved Benji's.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Luke Berry v Hearts December 2017

Yes, but which of his 5 goals are you meaning?

[MartinfaePorty]

Andy Watson late 1980s at Tannadice. Curled a beauty into the top corner to put us 2-1 up and it turned out to be the winner.

Must be a different goal! The one I'm talking about he'd cut inside and picked his spot, probably not far wide of the D when he took it, definitely not a cross!

[iwasthere1972]

Peter Cormack's goal from the half way line against Dunfermline at Easter Road in the mid 60's. I was in the east terracing and as soon as the ball was struck you knew it was going to be a goal. Thirty years later Beckham did a Cormackesque against Wimbledon.

[_hucks_]

Charnley scored first, up the slope from inside our half. McGinlay was the next home game against Killie and was down the slope. I remember him as being just outside the centre circle, on the East Terrace side and in their half.

My first match. Beat them 4-0. McGinaly was my favourite player from then until he left

[Paloschi]

The most cult goal has to be Benji v the yams. That celebration!

Has anyone forgotten Bobby's goal?


I'd go for Joe McClelland in a friendly against Bolton when he ran down the left wing cut along the penalty box line and thrashed the ball into the net-final result 5-2 Hibs.As Joe usually spent his time putting wingers into the crowd as those that saw him will recall so it was outstanding.

That's been hidden well! I only mananged to listen to the games way back but it was always "and Watson screws it over the bar from 6 yards out / open goal"

Ralphie was my sister's favourite player. Harry Gilzean produced a badge after that goal and my sister wore it proudly on her scarf. I'll need to ask
her if she still has it. Great goal and one of the few bright spots - other than Georgie boy's arrival - that season.

[fat freddy]

Stuart Beedie Thunderbolt V Hamilton in midweek cup tie around about 86/87. He hit the ball so hard that it had bruises and the net had to be treated for concussion

[FitbaFolkKen]

Not goal but game, we beat Dundee Utd 5-0 at the start of the 94/95 season and we looked phenomenal.

There were two cracking goals from O'Neill and Jackson, two lobs and Harper looked electric when he came on. I think he was just 17 at the time.

Found it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6crqsUpawc

Jackson scored a few peaches for us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp9Q-nNUKLw his first here is stunning! He liked a goal against Utd.

eg it was Porto they beat, surely?

[frazeHFC]

Stephen Glass. Volley against Aberdeen. Came over his head, kept his eye on it, and smashed it into the net. Quality goal!

[Jonnyboy]

I remember Chris Jackson scoring an absolute screamer at the PBS (sadly we lost 2-1) and I'd like to echo the selection of Joe McBride senior against Celtic at ER

[Spike Mandela]

August 1997 3 days after my first daughter was born( only reason I remember it).

Hibs get an indirect free kick inside 18 yd box against Utd. Chic Carnley plays a clever angled pass and Paul Tosh scores from an acute angle. When do you ever see one of those scored?

[SmashinGlass]

Zitelli overhead kick against Dundee at Dens.

Sure it was around 2001.

We were right behind the goals, an absolute peach.

Must have been pretty close to where I was sitting too as I was also right behind it. An absolute peach indeed. He also scored another raker that season against Motherwell at fir park in a Sunday night game. Just inside the box, narrow angle and hammered it into the roof of the net, beating the keeper in a ridiculous fashion

[alihibs1]

David Wotherspoon v Inverness. Volley from about 30 yards.

The rabona with his weaker foot from near the left corner flag, although his 'George weah' effort when he ran through the entire hearts team was good n aw.

Benjis 30 yard raker at Stirling Albion in AOBs first game

[Bishop Hibee]

Neil Orr curler from the corner of the box with his wrong foot straight into the top corner v Aberdeen in 1990. A 3-2 win at ER. I was shouting at him not to shoot!

This is goal i thought was v livi. Yes a cracker

Joe's dad v Celtic at ER

Absolutely superb :agree: His second that day [2-0], Hibs first game with Tom Hart on board.

For me Pat Stanton's cracker against Bobby Clark in Joe Baker's return to ER. First goal Clark had conceded in over 1,155 hours [12+ matches].

Colin Harris v Huns at Ibrox 1985. Unexpected 1-0 win and unexpected scorer.

Joe McBride v Mini Huns at Swynie 1986. Scored two late goals. I can't remember if the free kick was first or second.

Stephen Glass v Sheep at ER December 2004. Sweet strike in a 2-1 win when both us and the Sheep were going well.

Have to agree with above two and add, Alan Gordon's header to make it Seven (7) 1st Jan 1973, along with Micky Edwards goal (second) against the old huns at Hampden Cup Semi Final pissing with rain and only about 5,000 Hibees there on a Wed night.
Too many other's to mention.

[hibIBZ]

A vague memory of joe tortolano scoring a great strike from outside the box in a Scottish cup match v Stenhousemuir, not sure on the year, maybe 94 or 95??

[eezyrider]

As already said it has to be Chic Charnley's goal v Alloa. He kicked the ball from his own half, up the slope.

The game wasn't televised so there's no footage of that great moment.

EZ

[TelaStella]

As a youngster Deek's screamer against the yams at Easter Road always felt like my favourite hibs goal, unbelievable strike. In more recent times Sparky's free kick in the 2-1 game at Tynie will go down as one of the greatest, perhaps even better than Caldwell's last minute winner. Lewy's winner at Ibrox a few years ago too will always stick with me. Fantastic night that and no player deserved it more.

One of my favourite games ever even though it was just 2-2, the angle we had from the away end was perfect to see it nestle in the top corner.

Which is your favourite hibs forgotten goal? Mines is Gary deegan 30 yarded vs Aberdeen in the cup in 2013. Some strike and can barely find it on YouTube except a fan video.

I remember a Paul Wright header into the cowshed end, we were right up the front behind the goals, and as a wee boy it was a goal that stuck in my mind for some reason. Cant even remember who it was against. Any stattos out there who could fill in the blanks?

Edit: think my favorite goal is Keith Wright in the final. Other is for nostalgia purposes.😀

[Glory Lurker]

Charnley took a shot from a million miles out against Celtc on first day of the season. Didn't go in, and I remember the groans when he punted it against Alloa. Turned alright that time, though.

[lyonhibs]

Riordan's first of his second spell away at Hamilton was a beauty. I was sitting right in line with the left hand post as he curled it in from just inside the box from the right as you look at it from the away end.

An absolute belter.

Was just about to post about that Motherwell goal.

Ball just about went right through the net he hit it so hard.

[Topographic Hibby]

I saw a few of the crackers on here such as Chico's up the slope goal v Alloa. Definitely in his own half.......

And Ralph's goal against Dundee where he beat the entire Dee backline.....twice, before slotting home. Think we won 5-2 or 5-3 if memory serves, all while a running pitch battle was going back and forth along Albion Terrace - great view from high on the East!!

Surely the ultimate forgotten goal is the 1902 winner! :wink:

Thank you Sir David.....!! :not worth

Colin Harris v Huns at Ibrox 1985. Unexpected 1-0 win and unexpected scorer.



Colin Harris also scored the winner in a second win at Ibrox (the following season i seem to remember) - score 1-2

[Col_0762]

Tam McManus header at Killie in injury time, QF of the cup. The stand was literally rocking. Maybe not as great a goal as most on here but for importance at the time it was tremendous!

Anyone mentioned Marc Libbra's at Celtic Park yet? That was a peach. McManus at Ibrox as well, similar to Orman's there.
