I remember my wife (who has no interest in footie) even commenting on how he just seemed to run through them.
Trying to find this goal but can't seem to trace it, it was definitely an evening kick-off? Can anybody clear it up. Pretty sure it was fa cup. :?
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Paddy setting up Wiltord in that replay? :? Cant find a link of that goal, only this one of Lauren’s from same game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deFhoSqnnYw

I remember Paddy’s at SB from Bergkamp’s through ball but he didn’t muscle past anyone & I’m pretty sure that was the 2-1 in the league.

That must be it :shock: My memory is getting worse, I would have sworn that Vieira finished it off. :oops:

It’s in here towards the end Sid, assuming that is the one you mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TH-Ky-C ... 8DDDADC607

Either way there’s a few goals in there that would qualify as underrated or forgotten gems. I’d totally forgotten the one against Leicester that Dennis & Bobby laid on a plate for him. Is it me, or is Bergkamp involved in at least half the goals on this thread? :lol:

Just been reminded of a couple more forgotten classics from David Rocastle:

Liverpool (a) League Cup 1988
Villa (a) League 1988

See them on this rather excellent video montage (not sure about the Westlife soundtrack though!)

I also remember a couple of belters from Lee Dixon against Chelsea, both late equalisers. First one was at Stamford Bridge late in 91-92 season, a looping volley. The other was smashed in from a cleared corner in front of the North Bank - 96 was it?

December 16, 1995 in the 88th minute. Classic.

i can't find the actual goal for that last link but i'm sure you can all remember what happened next. definately underrated, but by his standards that sort of finish was simply bread & butter stuff. 8)
