3 favourite Burnley goals ever?

[Sleeping Cat]

Akinbiyi away at Chelsea in the cup
Ings at Ewood
Barnes at home to Wigan

Was hard not to include Cornet's at home to Everton.

I considered that Akinbiyi goal. It mean so much at the time. We'd had a slow start to the season, Premier league football and the opportunity to play those Top teams seemed like an impossible dream.

Ings at Ewood
Paterson at Reading
Little at the Turf v Bristol Rovers

Edit - but then I read the thread and there are lot more that could equally be in there.

That’s the thing isn’t it. That night it seemed like one of the greatest moments I’d seen but six months later it was only the third best that season!

Neil Grewcock
Robbie Blake
Wade Elliott

[aclaretinstevenage]

Paterson v Reading play off semi
Little v Scunthorpe promotion clincher
Akinbiyi v Luton 2nd of his hat-trick. . Jensen sent off game.

Most important goal has to be Wade Elliott at Wembley

[Petersa]

Three that simply stick in the memory

Lochhead vs WBA 1968 at home the same season Burnley lost 8.1 away. A shot from his own half

Trevor Steven at Lincoln in 1982, near the end of the season in a midweek game and a must not lose game as Lincoln were close rivals for promotion. Close to injury time a thunderbolt from about 30 yards to equalise

Billy Hamilton with the fourth at Tottenham in THE League Cup match in 1983.

1, Wade Eliot v Sheff U @ Wembley
2, Gary Parkinson v Stockport @ Wembley
3, Robbie Blake v Manure @ Turf Moor

[Stan Tastic]

The best individual goal has to be Ashley Hoskin's against Swansea. He was only 18 at the time.

[Dark Cloud]

The next one
The one after that
The one after that.

Kind of agree. The next Burnley goal might just turn out to my favourite!

[Quicknick]

Kindon at home to Oldham 1977-78
Cochrane at Blackburn two days later
Ingham at home to Chelsea the season before

[RMutt]

I appreciate most of the goals already picked are connected to a more emotional aspect of supporting Burnley, play off final, against Rovers United etc, promotions and staying in the football league. There are probably too many quality finishes to pick out just three, but the one I always think of, and hasn’t been mentioned yet, is the twenty odd pass before Hendrick’s neat little feign and slotting home goal at Goodison.

[Oshkoshclaret]

Top 3 that I saw live:

Francis v York
Wade v Sheff Utd
Defour v Man Utd

[Venkys4eva]

Wade Wembley v Sheffield United
Francis v Plymouth Argyle (playoffs)
Eyres Wembley v Stockport County

[Vegas Claret]

the one that keeps us up this season will be my number one

[FCBurnley]

Freeman 1914
Meredith 1960
Grewcock v Orient
Elliott v Sheff Utd

Without doubt the 4 most important goals ever therefore my fav

[Roosterbooster]

Anyone remember a goal about 20 years ago?

I think it was a deep cross from Paul Smith. Glen knocked it in at the back post. Cricket field stand end. Can't for the life of me remember who it was against. But remember it being a damn good goal

Could be Grimsby 1988 you are thinking of. Check these.

[Taffy on the wing]

The one against Wolves was pretty damn good when you watch it all the way back to Pope rolling it to Taylor.

[Stevie2112]

Francis at York. Scenes.
Patterson at Reading. Scenes.
Ings at them. Scenes.


On a separate note, is there any footage of Hyde’s goal versus them? Remember trying to listen to it whilst driving round Basra.

Hope this helps

[ClaretPete001]

Hmmm

Ings at Ewood
Elliot at Wembley
Parkinson at Wembley
Hoskins away PNE Sherpa Van
Leighton James v Leeds

Yes too many ...

[Roosterbooster]

Could be Grimsby 1998 you are thinking of. Check these.

Yes! Many thanks

Can't believe how bad the pitch was

[colne-claret]

Forgive me if I missed it but quite surprised not to see Michael Keanes goal vs Boro mentioned. Huge goal in terms of the title race and I don't think I've ever seen the Turf as loud as that. Loved it.

[Cirrus_Minor]

- Brian O’Neill, home to Man Utd, Div 1 (1967?)
- Ralph Coates, home to Chelsea FA cup (1969?)
- Paul Fletcher, away to Leeds, Div 1 (1974)

Big shouts also for

Terry Cochrane, away to Blackburn Div 1 (1978?)
Leighton James, away to Sheff Wed Div 2 (1973)

[claretblue]

- Ralph Coates, home to Chelsea FA cup (1969?)

Jan 1970...Chelsea went on to win cup (replay Old Trafford)

Thanks for correction, still a cracking goal though.

[claretandy]

Elliott, Wembley
Blake Utd
Hyde Rovers

[clansman]

Hoskins away at Swansea. Sensational
Wade. Wembley
Colin Waldron Charity Sheild 1973

[Foreverly Claret]

Some great goals over the years and my choice will show my age but here goes

Brian Pilkington...2nd goal v Hamburg

Robbie Blake...35 yard free kick v Preston..year ?

Wade...Wembley

I was also on the Turf for the Tommy Cummings goal in 1952 but I was only 7 and I can't remember it in detail so I'm not counting it .I was with my late dad and Uncle George and my cousin Graham who I hero worshipped because he went on to play for Stanley .He broke his leg playing against one of the Bradford teams ( 1959 / 60 ish ? ) and never really played again ( Corkscrew fracture )..Real shame because Stanley had just had a bid for him from Leicester City but were holding out because Spurs were reputedly interested. Might have made a difference to Stanley's existence .Who knows ?

[Lancasterclaret]

Still can't decide

Only one that is 100% in there is the winner at York in 1992

[SouthLondonexile]

- Ralph Coates, home to Chelsea FA cup (1969?)

Jan 1970...Chelsea went on to win cup (replay Old Trafford)

I was at this game. We drew two all. Coates had a monumental game in midfield. From two nil down Coates asserted himself and helped Steve Kindon score two goals.

[SouthLondonexile]

My three favourite goals
Trevor Steven against QPR 1983
Robbie Blake against Man United 2009
Steve Kindon against Sunderland 1978

[Woodleyclaret]

Defours freekick v Manure away
Wades at Wembley and
Jeff Hendrick finishing off a multi pass move v Everton away

[the_magic_rat]

Colin Waldron's 30-yard piledriver at Deepdale to clinch the Second Division Championship in 1973.
