    Having watched us sporadically from 98-07 and then had a season ticket most years after, my favourites in no particular order are:

    1. Carl Dickinson 95th minute free kick vs Cardiff, 2009/10. It wasn't even a good free kick, deflected heavily and wrong footed the keeper, but it made up somewhat for the cup semi defeat and other recent games when they'd spawned wins against us and sent their (mainly) horrible fans home with nothing. And the celebration from Dicko, sheer unbridled joy. Deflected off one Michael Chopra too, for good measure.

    2. Conor Hourihane free-kick vs Leeds, 2016/17. This one, however, was a good free-kick. Very good. We knew he was going, our best midfielder since the likes of Redfearn and Hignett (was he a midfielder?). So to step up against Leeds and their hordes of gloating neanderthals and smash a 25 yard free-kick past Rob Green on his last appearance was special.

    3. Jamal Campbell-Ryce vs Donny, 2008/09. A man down (Big Darren sodomising their forward when clean through), having clawed our way back to 1-1 against local rivals who I'd always known us to be battered by, JCR running all the way from the edge of his own area, beating about 5 men (lol) on the way to curling one into the far corner was just wonderful. Can't remember going as mental at a goal before or since at Oakwell. Majestic.

    Special K's vs Chelsea is obviously up there too but I wanted to be a bit more niche so there.

    Not Oakwell or Barnsley to be honest, but my favourite memories of this particular date (June 26th) really do spring to mind, for obvious reasons lol...
    1990 - David Platt scores the last minute volley winner for us/England against Belguim in WCup '90.
    1992 - Denmark shock the whole of Europe by winning the Euro '92 Final against the clear favourites Germany.
    1996 - England outplay Germany in the Euro '96 Semi final but it comes down to an awful penalty shoot out loss.
    1998 - England clinch their place in the second round of the World cup by beating Colombia 2-0. And this was a first ever England goal for David Beckham.

    Winnall's 2nd against Walsall in the playoff semi final.
    A load of goals from our survival run under Flicker - Cogba vs Leicester and Mellis vs Hull spring to mind

    Do goals we’ve seen from our armchairs qualify for this top three?

    Loved that Bertie Biggins goal too. Agree with your top two also. We can be favourite goals buddies.

    I reckon I would replace Biggins with either Barnard or Hourihane’s free kick against Leeds, which was pretty magical

    Brian Howard against Cardiff
    Trevor Aylott against Man City

    Has to be Barnard for me. That goal was the cherry on the top of the best half of football I've seen from any team ever. We absolutely took the piss out of Huddersfield and it's easy to forget just how good we were. If anything 6-0 flattered Huddersfield, I think we hit the woodwork at least twice.

    If I remember correctly it was the one and only game that Hignett, Dyer and Ward all played together as it was Hignett's debut and we flogged Ward before the next match. If we'd kept him we'd have pissed the league.

    I'd love a full video of that first half.

    God, all those are great goals. We are not a fashionable team, but have scored some belters.

    For me Darren Barnard's goal ranks in the memory as number one. That is pure technique.

    I remember Ian Banks scoring one in the 80's that I think was on YTV that was outragious. When interviewed afterwards he just said; "I thought I'd just whip it in". The comment was nearly better than the goal itself. Pure magic.

    I think this might have been a classic match against Reading, which we won 4-3. As you say, when Earnshaw managed to coordinate his speed with that of the ball, he was electric, but he often either kicked it too far ahead, or not far enough and ended tripping up over it. Reading came with Jack Mansell's philosophy of playing open, attacking football, which made a great match, which they led 0-1 and 1-2 before Earnshaw equalised with a scruffy one just before half time. When Reading were pressing for another lead, the ball broke quickly to John Evans on the half way line. Evans was clattered, but the ball ran clear down the right wing for Earnshaw to steam on to at pace. He went round one defender; went through two more who converged on him and each other like someone stepping through swing doors and was just left with the Reading keeper Smith to beat, who had come right out to the edge of his area as last man. Earnshaw just darted left round him and tapped the ball into the empty net. To make our night complete, Evans got a great header for 4-2 before Rob Williams scored a late one for Reading to make it 4-3 and a truly entertaining game. I hope that was the game. Maybe Earnshaw did it more than once, but that it the one I remember. Smee, Allen and Williams for Reading. Bettany, Earnshaw 2 and Evans for us.

    Favourite is the same Barnyard goal, second for me was one scored by Martin Bullock against Leicester City - came from a throw in near the half way line Bully ran around their midfield like it wasn’t there and from the edge of the box stuck it in the top corner - unreal goal.
    Lastly I agree with the Higgy goal just because of the situation, I was in the east stand lower and made the mistake of moving into the gangway when we scored, got carried down 10 rows and almost lost my family jewels in the edge of a seat pole. Had to go to a&e to have the top of my thigh examined by the most beautiful a&e house officer I’ve ever seen, quiet an eventful day!

    Zico Aranalde for Walsall against us in December 2001. It was so good even our fans applauded it.
