[Archived] The Greatest Goal Ever Scored At Ewood Park.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Interesting question Den. It was all a bit of a blur until he got about half way into the opposition half but the memory of the finishing dribbling is vivid. I did however have Alf Thornton's report to read and re-read plus the photographs to refer to. Re Bazza's recollection. If the goal was so straight forward why did the WBA players applaud him back to the halfway line ? I've seen plenty of great goals at Ewood but I can't recall that happening ever again.

Benito Carbone's second goal was something special:

[darrenrover]

Tugay's volley from a set piece corner must be up there.

I can't recall who it was against but I'm sure someone will put me straight.

Anyone remember Kevin Hird's free kick from a volley from 25yards in the Darwen End goal after John Bailey back heel flicked it up for him? Can't remember who it was against but great goal nonetheless.

[Butty]

Not sure if this one has been mentioned. Another Tugay special.

[Andy]

Definitely Matt Le Tissier - absolutely outstanding goal from a special player.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Early to mid 80's Rovers v Chelsea FA cup at Ewood.

Noel Brotherstons majestic flick up and volley from some 25-30 yards looping over the Chelsea keeper as if in slow motion.

[Audax]

Great thread, I'll sleep on the question.

Kevin Dillon for Portsmouth FA cup 1987

Ken Knighton v Charlton 1970

Tony Field v Watford about 72?

Remind me about Knighton's goal, I must have seen it

.

Tugay v Liverpool (Volley)

David Bentley v Salzburg

George Donis v Everton. (1-1)

Gary Croft v Chelsea (We won 1 nil)

i always remember jason wilcox scoring an absolute belter once against wimbledon too.

it was a rearranged game we had when the pitch was water logged and the whole of the crazy gang were doing klinsmann dives in the puddles on the pitch.

Matt Le Tissier's is the best I've ever seen. Stunning goal.

In fact, he's scored my two favourite goals of all time. The one at Ewood only bettered by his goal against Newcastle.

[gazsimm]

batty v city

shearer v Norwich

Dunn v West Ham

and best of all Tugay's goals

[Gav]

The first premiership goal ever scored at Ewood when Shearer knocked Jimmy Carter over the touchline and hit a shot that looped over the top of David Seamans head and into the Blackburn end goal, the crowd went mad, that moment will live with me forever.

Also Mike Newalls goal against Derby at home in the play offs, cut in from the Riverside touchline and rifled one in the top corner, absolute screamer.

Look at the way the defender just bounced off him - a second earlier you would have said Shearer was second favourite for that ball. What a player.

[Rover_Shaun]

I enjoyed Garners 2nd goal of his hat-trick goal vs City that broke the club scoring record

At 2mins 24 (his 3rd goal straight after was good too)

Same here

[broadsword]

Anyone remember Scott Sellars scoring against Liverpool in the League Cup I think it was. Diving header from outside the box.

Admittedly not the greatest goal ever, but you don't see many of those.

[AJW]

someone put a link to the George Donis goal vs everton ... from what i remember he ran half the length of pitch beating 3-4 defenders to score but memory sometimes plays tricks but it would be nice to see it again
