The last minute winner

[handbags_harris]

Is there a better feeling in football than watching your team score in the last minute to win a match?

Wasn't it AP at a game when one side scored in the last minute to rescue a point, only to see the opposition score even later to win.

That would possibly be a better feeling.

Yes- when that last minute winner is a contraversial one, given by the linesman, when the ball may/may not have actually crossed the goal line.

[handbags_harris]

Not so sure Dirkers tbf. On a personal note, I went absolutely nuts when Harper stuck the winner in at Middlesbrough, much more so than when the linesman gave the last minute goal against Sunderland.

eg Stephen Hunt v Sunderland ?

[Dirk Gently]

That's the one.

I don't remember whether Forster's winner against Wigan was last minute or a few earlier - but after we had been outplayed (or bored to death) by Wigan for 80 minutes, to win that game late was absolutely ecstasy. Best I have ever felt at a football match, and I remember me and my mate just standing staring at the emptying pitch for a few minutes afterwards, in disbelief.

Me, at the Cardiff game

"This is crap. I'm off."

"Nah, wait, the keeper's coming up, this'll be funny"

going from 1 down to win with 2 late goals is the best.

Wolves 1997
Wigan 2001
Peterborough 2001

Or an immediate equaliser when the game seemed loss late on.

Ipswich 2005
Palace 2006

Can add Cardiff last season to that list!

That was good, but not really an immediate equaliser. I mean straight up the other end and in. 7 minutes between those goals!

[Royal With Cheese]

Not a last minute winner but beating Plymouth 4-3 at Elm Park did it for me. 4 goals in the last 20 minutes. Still remains the best league match I ever went to.

Best injury time ever - cheers, Gilkesy!

Im lost on that one.

[Big Foot]

FA Cup 3rd round, Ingimarsson scored in the last minute to tie it at 1-1 for us and force the replay

[Gordons Cumming]

Ingimarrson versus Ipswich shortly after Bent scored!

Getting a last minute goal to merely draw a game isn't anywhere as near as a last minute winner. I suppose a last minute draw for me suggests that we've barely deserved to get a point, whereas a last minute winner is usually deserved in some way. Take the Federici goal last season, yeah I went nuts, but there was an air of despondancy afterwards that we'd merely saved our skin at home. In contrast, Tony Thorpe's penalty against Preston had a different air, an air of "we got what we deserved" is probably not the best way to describe it.

In short, full and complete honours >>>>>>> shared honours IMO. The last minute winner reigns supreme.

A last minute winner in the play off final v Newcastle or Middlesbrough or WBA would do me very nicely.....

Historically the 88th minute equaliser and 90th minute winner v Wigan in the PO Semis all those years ago is something to remember... love to do it again in a PO final.

Seem to remember it being about 5 from the end of a shit cup tie. Rubbish.

Harpers equaliser at Palace tops them all for me. Friday night, a sparse but very vocal away support, it looks like nearly 30 games unbeaten is coming to an end, but straight from the kick off, pandemonium. I have no recollection from going from the back of the stand to standing on a wall giving it large to the home fans. Just a totally unique scenario never to be repeated.
