best hibs goal

[21sMay]

so was wondering what goal you class as the best you have every witnessed live for us?

I'll kick is off with wee Russells in the 6-2 demolition derby.
everything you want in a goal against your rivals.

[wookie70]

I say the same every time this comes up, hopefully one will better it soon. Ralph Callaghan's Archie Gemmillesk effort.

[givescotlandfreedom]

This one for me https://youtu.be/by59HSSGOlE

[ekhibee]

Whever this comes up, these are the 2 that always seem to stand out for me:

But the McManus and Latapy ones are just as good, along with Malonga and Cummings in the league cup against the sheep.

Sir david gray may 2016! Best goal in history!

[Jim44]

Maybe not the most spectacular ( certainly one of them ) and shrouded in the mists of time, Bobby Duncan’s goal against Napoli was superb and so important in that great match.

[Diclonius]

Boyle's volley v Livingston.

Taking every goal out of context, Boyle's against Livingston has to be up there: https://youtu.be/M4vGy3lewpU?t=1m4s

Pity there's no footage of the goal. Better than Gemmil's effort imho.

[EVENTUALLY]

I agree 100%. The thing I remember about it was the way Ralphie delayed opportunities to knock the ball into the net, he just kept beating Dundee players with the same drag back trick as they arrived to challenge him before finally slipping the ball home. Fantastic skill and so exciting to see a certain goal coming 7 or 8 seconds before it eventually happened. Great goal that had Messi written all over it.

[brog]

I say the same every time this comes up, hopefully one will better it soon. Ralph Callaghan's Archie Gemmillesk effort.

I always tell Ralph it's the best goal ever & it probably is but I have another personal favourite featuring my hero Joe Baker. 1960/61 was just a normal season for Hibs, lost the 1st 8 league games to be adrift at the bottom then lost 3 out of the next 23 games which included our 7-6 aggregate win over Barca! Just after New Year we played Killie at home. In those days we often kicked downhill first then uphill to the Dunbar end which was a popular spot for many Hibs fans. After a frustrating 1st half which we dominated but ended 0-0 we scored early on through Johnny MacLeod. Joe then scored the 2nd. I can't really do it justice but he picked up a loose ball in the centre circle, flicked it over 1 Killie player's head, then 2 more as he raced to the pen box where he hit it on the volley into the roof of the net. I can actually still remember the Green report that night! The Killie centre half that day was Willie Toner who was being touted for a Scotland cap. That went out the window after he was destroyed by Joe. In fact his career went downhill so rapidly he signed for us a year or 2 later! :greengrin I know these threads come around often but I love them & the chance to look at some wonder goals again, never tire of seeing Deeks vs Yams.

[Northernhibee]

An unreal 25 yard dipping half volley from Wotherspoon against Inverness.

[Northernhibee]

Or Harris/ Sparky Vs Falkirk at Hampden.

[malcolm]

It’s is hard to disassociate the emotions and context of a goal when remembering the best but trying to ignore the obvious big game goals..

I loved every goal super Ally scored and Ralphy’s meandering stroll to score against Dundee was a sight to behold but I also loved the completely unexpected superb volley by Gordon Hunter to spark a comeback against St Mirren I think in a 4.3 victory. Though Boyles volley was one of the best I’ve seen live or otherwise.

That brought back memories. I don't think I have seen that goal since the highlights were on 20 odd years ago. How were we so crap to watch so often when you see the players we had at that point. O'Neill, Crunchyand Jackson would all walk into the current Hibs team imo

[Thecat23]

Agathe v Dundee, nothing for me has even come close!

[Cat Stanton]

Agathe v Dundee, nothing for me has even come close!

..but tempered by the fact he's only been given a three month (?) deal, Martin O' Neil was in the stand that day, and we lost him a few weeks later to Septic for tuppance!

Yeah I read recently Messi said he owed all his success to studying Ralph's game and modeled his play on Ralph :greengrin

Few years ago now but remember Mikey Stewart scoring a screamer of a volley against the sheep at Easter Road in a cup replay, don't know if there's any footage. Sparky's free kick at tynie was insane as well. Was there that day standing right in front of the goal and remember as soon as he hit it I knew it was going in!

I was going to say the very same myself. I bumped into the man himself on a train into Berlin from the airport recently and said hello - he and McAllister were making a habit of scoring some magic goals at that time but that one always stood out for me. Absolute peach and the East went mental as I remember.

There's been a load of beauts over the years before and since then that I could mention from the likes of Archibald, Sauzee, Latapy, Griffiths, Riordan, Zemama, of course Gray and (Yes!) Townsley, but I'm glad you mentioned that one cos it saved me looking it up :greengrin

[basehibby]

... and Cummings' header at the Pink Palace on our way to cup glory is also worthy of mention.

Edit - but dang - I wasn't there - watched it on the telly so doesn't count for me.

If I had to choose one at Tynie when I was there it would have to be Archiegoals' wonderful effort in a 2-1 vicory back in nineteen-canteen under Lexo Miller - we finished the match with 10 men from what I remember after Hibs captain Gordon Rae got the red for sending some random Yam into the air in a proper blooter of a tackle. Ah the memories ....

[Bay Area Hibees]

Was Mikey’s goal not at Tynie? Then threw up or am i mixing memories?

[proud_and_green]

Difficult to choose, but De la Cruz versus Hearts at ER was a cracker. He took the ball on the right, around the half way line beat a couple players then faded inside and struck the ball so neatly from around 25 - 30 yds that there was only one outcome.

[snedzuk]

8th jan 1972 john brownlie in a 3-0 home win against dundee united. I only know this because I used to award 1 - 5 stars in the programme for every goal scored and I gave this goal 6 stars it was so good! - cant remember it now though.

Otherwise boyles volley v livingston or that michael stewart goal v the sheep.

[David_D]

Sauzee’s goal in the millennium derby stands out for me as was probably the first time I had witnessed us win at Tynecastle and should have been 7 or 8 that night.

[Hiber-nation]

Most of my all time favourites have been mentioned but Sauzee's screamer in the last game of the 1998-99 season at home to Falkirk deserves a mention.

Free kicks - take your pick between Riordan away to Falkirk or Griffiths at the pbs in the 2-1 win.

George Best beating about 5 men and the keeper in a meaningless midweek game at home to Dundee, similar to Ralphie's goal already mentioned.

Also remember a ridiculous Freddie Arpinon strike at Tannadice.

Quite suprised James Keatings' goal v Falkirk last season hasn't been mentioned yet.

Great strike and in the context of our season it was also a very big goal as the win all but guaranteed us the title.

Yep, the one that always springs to mind when someone mentions best Hibs goal, a Kano header puts us 1-0 up early in the game, Gordon Rae then gets sent off after about 30 minutes, backs to the wall for the rest of the game until 10 minutes left, an overhead kick from Kano in his own half sets Archibald free, beats McPherson in a foot race and slots the ball past Smith, total bedlam in the Gorgie Road end! Suppose all seater stadiums are a good thing overall but you couldn't beat a terracing celebration, especially at Tynie!

Kano's heider to put us 1-0 up wisnae bad either. We started celebrating our first win at Tynie in about 9 years, then Hearts got one back in the last minute. Sure they missed a sitter in injury time as well (Alan Moore from about 4 yards out)! Mental scenes in the Gorgie Road end.

You're absolutely right, Moore was clean through on goal but put the ball past the post, heart in the mouth moment, my first victory at Tynecastle.

Bobby Duncan of course.
Willie Hamilton’s winner in the cup against Rangers and in a 1-0 at Tynecastle.

One of Joe Baker’s five against Airdrie which included rounding a couple of defenders and the goalie who was Lawrie Leslie and looked pretty fed up.
Jim Scott for Edinburgh Select against Newcastle,picked up the ball at the halfway line dribbled through,round the keeper and rolled the ball between their fullbacks(current NI internationals)standing on the line.

Keith in the Semi is more iconic.

[jgl07]

Aye the revolving door transfer policy.

He signed some rubbish players usually on low wages so that they could be dumped after one or two matches. Klaus Dietrich made one appearance only to be subbed and was never seen again.

He did sign a lot of quality players. Franck Sauzee, Russell Latapy, Mixu Paateleinen, John O'Neil, Grant Brebner, David Zitelli, Paco Luna, etc., etc.

Having said that Mowbray and Lennon have achieved comparable results on much lower budgets.

[21sMay]

after reading through everyone's opinions ,it's hard to argue with any of them ...i also remember as a young lad pat McGinley scoring an overhead kick against Motherwell.
May be wrong. can anyone else remember this ?

No to be honest but it just reminded me of the best goal I’ve ever seen. Zitelli, Sunday night bonfire night in Dundee last minute we won 2-1 .Next again week a bullet in Motherwell Sunday night too. I was fortunate to be at both games.

[basehibby]

Keith in the Semi is more iconic.

For me the iconic 1991 goal when I was there was the weekend before that semi - away at Pittodrie. I got there late and we were already a goal down. Then, not long after half time Mickey Weir scored a superb Gemmil-esque goal - winding by a couple of defenders before committing and chipping the keeper superbly to secure the draw. I came away knowing that Weir - a very influential player for Hibs at the time - was on fire and immediately put a tenner on Hibs to win the League Cup, knowing that we had Rangers in the Semi that midweek.

I watched the semi that midweek in a pub down in London and it was that very man Weir who delivered the ball plum onto Keith's head for him to plant it past a despairing Goram's grasp - to send me into a dance of ecstacy round an otherwise empty North London boozer. And a couple of months later Weir was on hand to lay it on for Keith again for the opener in the final - as well as "winning" the penalty to seal it ;)

The goal from Keith in the Semi would be up there for me - but ah wisnae there - watched it on the telly! So Mickey Weir's goal the weekend before is my 1991 entry!

You got the goals the wrong way round in the final - the penalty was the opener and Wright sealed it. Regarding that game, I bumped into David Moyes in a restaurant in Glasgow a couple of weeks ago. While I was getting an autograph for my mate’s wee boy, I really wanted to bring up that match (which he, of course, played in). He was with family though, so I opted for the quicker “please don’t sign McGinn”...he chuckled. In retrospect, I’d rather he went there than Celtic!

My favourite Hibs goal btw - for sheer quality O’Neill against Motherwell in 1994, what a volley! The reaction of awe from the crowd...happy days! Great game that day too, a cracking 2-2 draw.

More goals-Jim Scott's winner at Dunfermline to win 6-5. Free kick by Allan McGraw when ball still moving at halfway,stuttering run from Scott,stabs ball at goalie,bounces back ,hits Scott a couple of times and goes in.

Stevenson and O'Rourke -two each in he first 15 minutes at Tynecastle

Neil Martin's hattrick at Parkhead in the first game there after Stein left and Martin's "friendly wave" to Stein in the Celtic dugout after the third.

It's criminal that there were no TV cameras present to record it for posterity.

[O'Rourke3]

Seen a number of spectacular goals. Boyle's vs Livvy in the Championship springs to mind. However, the season after we were relegated in 79/80 I remember being in the cave end, on seats, in an uninspiring game 1-1 versus Airdrie. Sandy Clark scored their goal and we overplayed everything. I was a tourist that season and managed about three games including the season ender vs Raith.

The only time in the game we seemed to remember to simplify and make the ball do the work, the ball was passed to from the goalie to the CH, who moved it on to the middle who then played a through ball to Flavell who put the ball past the goalie. So f***in simple it was a joy to watch - especially from behind. Quiz Ball Route Four writ large.

It was fantastic fun that night, we were in the plaka and got a taxi to the game. We were dropped off and it was all AEK fans, we couldn’t hide who we were supporting. Chests puffed out and sang Hibs songs Loud and proud all the way to our entrance. Inside the ground was mental, all sorts of things thrown at us. I am sure it was myself that started the USA chant. We had to get back to our hotel after the game and as there were only a small group of us we stuck together. Their fans tried to intimidate us a few times but we survived. Just.

I don’t think Brian is with us anymore but that cutting has a brilliantly understated account of Ralph’s goal.

Sadly tis the case. Great Hibby worked in his office as a
Student and he was in the thick of it since the day the takeover was announced I waited to leave work when I could, I think he was straight down there. RIP Brian.

In the away leg it was scary. Game was meant to be played next day to 9/11. Was cancelled. Returned to Athens when it was played. Was brutal.. eAK fans had a big Muslim support and set fire to American flags and bombarded us with all sort of fireworks, rocks and other stuff for 90 minutes. Cops did nothing.

But the best of it was they made us empty all small change & lighters into a big bucket never to be seen again. I walked in wearing a PANATHANIKOS strip, only to be met with throat slitting gestures when I entered the ground. Oh ya Fu2k3r.
