how about a goal that happened when i was playing in high school, the ball came in from a corner and it hit the cross bar then fell right in front of me, all i had to do was used my stomach to push the ball in, which was a winning goal!!

I must agree!!

We played the top of our table team once (for our social division!!), and the scores were tied at 1-1. I’d poked home from a ball over the top in the first half to equalise, and we looked to be heading for a draw…

10 minutes to go, and a long through ball got put down the middle – latched on to it about 50 yards from goal, ran another 15 and then realised the defenders were going to put the tackles in, so I took an almighty swing and knuckled it.

Wasn’t a perfect strike by any stretch of imagination, and really the goalie should’ve done better, but seeing my ball dip at the last second past the despairing keeper – best feeling ever.

Got swamped by team mates and we won 2-1. Will always live on in memory!!!

There;s one goal I’ll always remember. It was in secondary school and it was in P.E. There was about three minutes left of the game and we were behind by a goal. I got the ball on the right hand side of the pitch, about the half way line and ran at the defense. I beat their LW and then turned inside, about twenty-odd yard out and with my left foot; swung at the ball and smashed it into the near, top corner.

I almost shat myself because I’d never scored anything like it. I liken it to the goal Robin Van Persie scored about a week before hand for Arsenal.

back in grade school my team was playing a game that if we won the game we won the league title, and with about 5 minutes left in the game we got a corner kick. as the ball was played in the keeper and another player on my team collided and was pushed in to me as i jumped to get a head on the ball. I got spun around and the ball hit me in the back and of the neck and found the corner of the goal. I never saw it go in, but we won the game and the title. I’ll never forget that goal

I was always short of confidence, so I rarely played for a team. However, when I was 17 one of my mates was playing for a club’s 3rd team who were short of numbers for a preseason game against the same club’s 2nd team. I was asked to play the first half for the 2nd, where I didn’t make much impact. In the 2nd half I was playing for the 3rd team and after about 10 minutes the ball broke down our right and so I moved in from the left to join the attack. The ball was played in, both our strikers missed it, but I just got there before the defender to scuff the ball in. That was enough to earn me a place in the team, so it means a huge amount to me
