Forbury Lion I wasn't one of the 50,000 who claim to have been there, but I heard it was from the halfway line and he celebrated by knocking a row of policemen's helmets off and then rushing to the changing room to take a dump in Mark Lawrenson's kit bag and downing 4 pints of lager and a shot.

Barney Love the bitterness of those that were not there

Barney Love the bitterness of those that were not there, and simply can not accept that it was one of the greatest goals of all time.
Grey squirrel's view is accurate.
And for those that were not there, you surely will admit that you simply do not see an International referee (even more so the tough, emotionless Clive Thomas that night) hold his head in disbelief as to what he witnessed. It was that incredible.
Tilehurst End. 15 years old as I was then.

Nameless AS someone who was at that game I can assure you Friday was actually sat on a stool in the Public bar of the Spreadeagle when he scored that goal. Didn’t spill a drop either....

Greatwesternline I wasn't born when he scored "that goal".
But from the various ways i've seen it described, it sounds a lot like a goal that was scored by Exeter this weekend, which can be seen in the following tweet:

For those of you who were there, (presumably everyone other than me on this board) does this goal look similar?

Ark Royal Close, but not close enough for the Fuhrer. Ball came in to Friday just outside the 'D' (23-25 yds) on the right and he had his back to goal. Still think that the closest I have seen is Thierry Henry's goal v Man Utd in 2000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksz6K-tJ6Nc although Friday's goal was hit with more power and dip and hit the side netting to the keeper's left.

Gotta take a slight issue with you there Ark. I’m sure he was slightly to the left of the ‘D’!
I was stood right at the very front of the South Bank in the middle by the gate onto the pitch and I only remember it because my old man went mental when he did it, which was very unusual for him. I just thought that was what Robin did!
