Best Goal you`ve seen in the flesh

[Irish_Steve]

Just for a bit of fun but what`s the best goal you`ve seen scored by Hibs in the flesh. Obviously SDG`s goal is the most important but in my view, not the best.

Mine would be Michael O`Neill`s volley against Motherwell in 1994 - pin-point cross from Kevin Harper and Mikey blasted the ball into the net from just inside the penalty box.

[Jonnyboy]

Too many to mention BUT I'll pick out one that still gives me goosebumps when I envisage it in my head. Joe McBride (Snr) in a game against Celtic when he scored both in a 2-0 win. The special finish came when he swivelled on the half turn and volleyed it home. Doesn't sound much I know, but believe me it was a stunning finish :thumbsup:

Ralph Callaghan v Dundee. I'll never forget it. Fantastic skill and tantalising anticipation as he could have put it away after the 1st, 2nd,3rd and 4th challenges only to slot it home after he had sat down the 5th defender.

[Craig_HFC]

One worth a mention is a goal that was disallowed.

Deek scored an absolute peach of a volley at Easter Road vs Dundee under Mowbray (sure it finished 4-4 & I think the goal would have made it 5-2 if it had stood). It was a ball over to Deek on the left hand side and he absolutely pinged a left footed volley from just outside the box from a relatively wide position across the 'keeper and into the net at the back post.

It was disallowed for offside but it was a screamer.

As was said, the overhead kick was at Dens.

Not just not good enough to be Goal of the Month, but actually not good enough to be shortlisted as CONTENDER for Goal of the Month.

I remember Smith pathetically arguing that it wasn't that good a goal and another goal by Ronald de Boer was better. Was Smith not an agent for De Boer?

Jeez .... That was the most mental goal celebration I've ever been part of and that's saying something having been part of the SDG goal celebrations in 2016 .. it was as close to mass hysteria as I've ever been part of, perhaps because we were packed in behind that goals like sardines .. it was truly mental :agree:

The two that stand out for me were firstly Brian Rice's goal against Dumbarton at Boghead back in the day .. we were struggling at the bottom of the table and Hibs had organised buses to the game ... a long ball was played from halfway, it dropped over Rice's right shoulder and he first time volleyed it into the net from about 20 odd yards .. an absolute screamer. 2nd was Latapy's volley in the 6 - 2 game ... what a goal it was.

[Bishop Hibee]

Latapy in the 6-2 game. Ties with Darren Jackson for Scotland B v NI B at Easter Road. Shooting towards the away end flicked a bouncing ball over the defenders head, ran round him and volleyed in from 25 yards. Fantastic technique.

The Keith and Mickey goal against the Rangers in the semi final. Mickey looked up and supplied the most delightful chip you'll see on a plate for Keith who did what Keith did and guided it into the center of the goal. Superb goal on a wonderful night.

I have a vague recollection of that. Rice had a sweet left foot on him and could volley a ball like the best of them on his day. A cultured player. We followed Hibs everywhere in the 70s and 80s as my dad had done as much as he could in the 50s and 60s.

Latapy's goal will always be remembered as one of the best ever.

Brilliant question. Lots in the Mowbray era but I've got to say Kevin Harper's goal in 98 in the derby. Took it from half way line and ran and ran before slotting it past Rousset. Probably stopped a very good Hearts side winning the league. Oh. And my first every derby. My dad whacked me on the head celebrating. Explains a lot. Probably when I really fell in love with Hibernian.

Shoot had a competition shortly after that to name the best goal ever and I wrote in to nominate Bobby's. It didn't win but they sent me a signed photo of Colin Bell which was a big deal for a young laddie in those days.

One that sticks in my mind is Jim Scott for Edinburgh Select against Newcastle in the 1959 curtain raiser.Newcastle had tried to sign him but he came to Hibs from Bo'ness and played a couple of games at the end of season 1958/59.A new young player was always included in the Select team and he played on the right wing.Just before the end he basically dribbled through the entire left side of Newcastle rounded the keeper(Simpson I think)and rolled the ball in.Select won 4-2 ,Willie Bauld got two,can't remember the other scorer.The following week it was Rangers in the League Cup.Scott scored early but Rangers scored the next six

Just for a bit of fun but what`s the best goal you`ve seen scored by Hibs in the flesh. Obviously SDG`s goal is the most important but in my view, not the best.

Mine would be Michael O`Neill`s volley against Motherwell in 1994 - pin-point cross from Kevin Harper and Mikey blasted the ball into the net from just inside the penalty box.

My favourite goal is the same outcome but against Dundee Utd at ER. Not sure if we both have the same goal or if he scored two similar ones 🤷🏼*♂️. It was a quick counter attacking move, 4 or 5 crisp passes and a sublime finish 👍. At the Dunbar end too - O’Neill just put his hands to the side as if to say - see what you’ve missed out on.

[hibby6270]

Always a toss up for me between Russell’s goal number 6 in 2000 or Deek’s goal in 2004 (Craig Gordon in goal) both against them in derby games.
Leigh’s free kick at Tynie nudges in there as well (although to be fair I didn’t see that one ‘in the flesh’).
Chic Charnley’s own half goal against Alloa gets an honourable mention also?

It was Jason Young, ex Hearts! The good news is we only dropped 2 points at home all season after that!

[Pretty Boy]

What was the SC game a couple of seasons back in which we conceded an absolute peach at home? I think it was a cup game but I could be wrong.

We won comfortably but a guy banged one straight into the top corner from the angle of the box.

My mind might be playing tricks on me but Joe Tortalano scored a screamer from outside the box in a defeat against Falkirk at Brockville. I was a kid at time and only started following Hibs that season or season before. Joe quickly became my favourite player and I was forever singing the super Joe song. Little did I realise that he didn't do it every week lol. Ahh the memories.

Also Deeks fav goal ( aka his Si Ferri podcast) was a great goal ( looked even better from the east )

[Saint Hibee]

Having grown up in Southampton, Matt Le Tissier takes up pretty much the entire top ten, especially a free kick against Wimbledon when he flicks it up with his left foot and volleys it in with his right; and one against Norwich where he literally dribbles around the entire Norwich team before banging it in.

In the past 14 years of watching Hibs, Malonga’s goal against Aberdeen was pretty enjoyable, as was a Gary Deegan screamer also against Aberdeen, in the cup. Against us, I remember a guy scoring from the halfway line a couple of years ago, and he’d done it the previous week as well; forgotten his name.

I would echo a couple of posts citing the late 90s.

Harper's goal in the April derby was a peach, but all the more so because of the significance of the result. Lavety's goal wasn't too shabby either.

We knew we were likely to be relegated at that stage of the season and the HOMFC fans had a few songs for us that day. We knew they were still in with a chance of contesting the league title though. The result put paid to that. I was hoarse for a couple of days from the amount of times I sang "Walking in a Harper Wonderland" at the end of the match and in the streets of Leith that evening!

Chic Charnley's goal was just one of those 'wow' moments. I can picture him taking the shot, think the Alloa keeper was Mike Murphy and he wasn't miles off his line but enough for Chico to catch him out. I was with my mate in the East and we did that cliched double-take turn to look at each other, jaws open, in a "Did we really just see that happen?". It was a massive delayed reaction before we remembered to celebrate!!

Desperately hoping that in true.net tradition, someone posts asking whether Pat McGinlay didn't do something similar in the next home game :greengrin

As was said, the overhead kick was at Dens.

Not just not good enough to be Goal of the Month, but actually not good enough to be shortlisted as CONTENDER for Goal of the Month.

I remember Smith pathetically arguing that it wasn't that good a goal and another goal by Ronald de Boer was better. Was Smith not an agent for De Boer?

I remember saying to my mate at the game why has he turned his back when the ball came to him little do I know great player for hibs, I also named my son david after him as my wife didn't want me to call him mixu Frank or Russell. Great team then le god best of the bunch.

Hampden was bouncing that night.

[HoboHarry]

Best goal I ever seen live was the right back on a team I was playing for a million years ago. I played the ball across to him thinking he would take off on a run but he'd seen the goalkeeper miles off his line and he absolutely skelped it and with a fair bit of help from a swirling wind, sent it over the keeper and in from about 60 yards. Never seen anything else like it in all the years I played.....

[The Harp]

Agree 100% on all counts. If Ralph's goal had been on TV this debate would have ended after 1 post. Like u Ive been telling Ralph it was the best but for about 40 years now! Surprised there"s been no mention of Alen Orman at Ibrox & Zitelli's lob at St J, great team goal..

I was about to ask if you could recall what year Ralph scored that wonder goal but then I checked the book Hibernian The Players and Managers 1946 - 2009 by Jim Jeffrey and found the following included among Ralph's details:

"In August 1979 he scored one of the great Easter Road goals when slaloming through the Dundee defence before rounding the keeper to net."

The post by EVENTUALLY earlier described the goal pretty well, I thought. It's good to know some of us still remember it. The other 2 goals you mentioned were classics too. The old memory bank isn't working as well as it used to, but those goals wont be forgotten (hopefully).

:greengrin

Yeah, McGinlay was down the slope and inside their half but not by much. It was a great goal to see though, obviously Chico's effort had sparked his teammates to try and emulate.

A couple of folk have mentioned opposition goals, though that wasn't the OP's intention. I remember how strong the Rangers team was in the early to mid-nineties (younger viewers may not know of this club, they went out of business some years ago - essentially they are like Third Lanark), yet we still were able to give them a decent game and conjure up a few wins (whilst taking a few cuffings too).

One team we never seemed to have fortune against was the revitalised Celtc team with Cadete, Van Hoojdonk and Di Canio as a forward three. I remember a goal, possibly that 97-98 season, maybe the year before but I can't remember who put the ball in the net for them. It started with the keeper rolling or knocking it out to a defender and it was like watching ice hockey. The ball travelled up the field in seconds, one touch passing almost all the way and they had scored. Our players were genuinely lost. It was one of those rare moments, probably rarer now, where at least a few of us in the East applauded an opposition goal, albeit halfheartedely and resentfully.

[Hermit Crab]

I think Deeks volley at Tynecastle in a 2-1 defeat is up there with one of the best Hibs goals I've seen in the flesh. The speed at which the ball flew in is unbelievable.


Alan shearer free kick at old trafford is some hit as well. https://youtu.be/fHtuFQPjOSw

[IberianHibernian]

Too many to mention BUT I'll pick out one that still gives me goosebumps when I envisage it in my head. Joe McBride (Snr) in a game against Celtic when he scored both in a 2-0 win. The special finish came when he swivelled on the half turn and volleyed it home. Doesn't sound much I know, but believe me it was a stunning finish :thumbsup:That`s still my favourite too . I was in the Cave for probably my first game with a big crowd aged about 9 and still remember seeing it through packed crowd .

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I was going to mention the 1-3 to 4-3 game against St. Mirren, didn't they score an absolute peach?

To add to the Derek Riordan appreciation he scored an absolute beauty away to Aberdeen. 1-0 win in Mowbrays first season and I think it was the game everyone started to believe that team was the real deal. Long ball, one touch to take it away from the defender, 2nd touch was a strike right across the keeper into the far corner. Amazing technique. Dobbie missed a sitter late on to put it to bed.

Joe was closely marked by the centre half and had his back to the goal just outside the penalty area. He controlled a high ball on his thigh, flicked it over his head, ran round the centre half and volleyed it into the roof of the net. I was a young kid and had never seen anything like it before. We won 4-1 (I think) and it was a real shock result. Perhaps Willie Toner was the centre half but Young Joe was too good for him. Probably have been better goals since but that one stays in my mind.

Good shout! My memory of the goal is that Joe actually started in the centre circle & for many years after I could recite the Evening Dispatch description of the goal. I probably still could!! Willie Toner was indeed the centre half & there was a clamour for him to be capped for Scotland. The clamour disappeared after that game, Joe destroyed poor Willie who later joined Hibs! The game was also notable for an extremely rare Joe McLelland goal, he scored 2 in 256 appearances, & for us scoring 4 up the slope after a goalless 1st half. We won 4-0 I believe & as we always stood at the Dunbar End it was a great pleasure to see all these goals close up. I also remember Joe laying one on for Johnny McLeod & them meeting & engaging in a funny dance behind the goal. Really unusual in those days. Great memory, thanks!
PS, you were right about Killie's season, they lost the league by 1 point to Der Hun! Sorry Killie, never mind they won it 4 seasons later!! :wink:

Outstanding skill from Ralph and it did seem like the old joke of the ball being tied to his boot. Iirc correctly he didn't even slam the ball home, just slipped it into the net after dodging the keeper. Wish it had been captured by the telly. What I do remember is the extended applause he got after the initial celebrations died down. Well deserved.

Trust me it was unbelievable & most of it entailed Ralph dribbling along the goal line from the right corner flag down the slope. The finish was the icing on the cake. IIRC Ralph went round the keeper, moving off the goal line & leaving himself the empty net to score into. Insted of knocking the ball in however, Ralph put his foot on it as the keeper & a defender (or maybe 6) threw themselves in front of where they thought the ball was going. Once they had all stopped bouncing along the goal line Ralph rolled the ball in & calmly walked away. Quite amazing!

[Springbank]

Slightly off-piste but the best reaction to a goal from my son was this (definite hibs content)

Early 2017, Hibs stayed on course to retain our Scottish Cup by knocking out Ayr Utd 3-1, though the goal of the game was by McGuffie of Ayr who arrowed a perfect rising drive into Rocky's net from 25 yards.

Fast forward 6 weeks & we had the once in a lifetime chance to go to El Clasico, at the Bernabeu, Messi v Ronaldo, finished Real 2 Barca 3 (messi holding up his shirt to the crowd at the late winner).

The goal we loved that game was Ivan Rakitic scoring for Barca. A show stopper of a 25 yarder that arrowed & rose majestically into the roof of the real net.

"WOW DAD! THATS JUST LIKE RYAN MCGUFFIE" yelled the young Leith kid sitting on my right....

One worth a mention is a goal that was disallowed.

Deek scored an absolute peach of a volley at Easter Road vs Dundee under Mowbray (sure it finished 4-4 & I think the goal would have made it 5-2 if it had stood). It was a ball over to Deek on the left hand side and he absolutely pinged a left footed volley from just outside the box from a relatively wide position across the 'keeper and into the net at the back post.

It was disallowed for offside but it was a screamer.

I forgot about Andy Goram's kick out against Morton that ended up in the net from our own box :D Late 80s I think.I remember the embarresed handshake with Gordon Rae. The Morton keeper was beaten two or three minutes after Beastie had beasted him at a corner. He was probably concussed. We went to the Centre Stand too that day but I'm not and never have been WCH girlfriend

Who was the Scottish lad who scored a complete raker against Iceland in the U21 match at ER? (Lost, they had absolute quality in the team) That as probably the best goal I’ve seen at Easter Road come to think of it. Lee McCulloch of all people scored a absolute worldy against Ukraine at Hampden in the group we got cheated out of too.

Chris Maguire?

Chris Maguire?

Yes, correct answer.....

Trust me it was unbelievable & most of it entailed Ralph dribbling along the goal line from the right corner flag down the slope. The finish was the icing on the cake. IIRC Ralph went round the keeper, moving off the goal line & leaving himself the empty net to score into. Insted of knocking the ball in however, Ralph put his foot on it as the keeper & a defender (or maybe 6) threw themselves in front of where they thought the ball was going. Once they had all stopped bouncing along the goal line Ralph rolled the ball in & calmly walked away. Quite amazing!

It gets my vote :aok:

Was behind the goals that day. People shouting "square it, pass it ffs....." :greengrin:greengrin

Chris Maguire. Scored from the centre circle immediately on the restart.

Sigurdsson scored two world class goals in that game too.
