I loved Paul Wilkinson. His aerial ability was superb. (See my last paragraph, help needed)
1. Leeds Aug 92 Wilkinsons 2nd goal of the game, Diving header, from a great cross from the left, after previously stabbing home a minute or two earlier to put us in front.
2. Sheff Weds FA Cup Feb 92. Turned Pearson beautifully to chip the keeper with aplomb
3. Wolves March 94. He took the ball down on his chest, held it up, laid it off to Andy Peake, he squared to tommy wright who put an exquisite ball over the top for Wilko to beat the offside trap, chest it down and lob the keeper for an 87th minute winner
Honourable mentions for the Norwich game in May 93, we were already down. His excellent diving header in the 3-3 draw.
Also, the boxing day goal at Sid James Park v Newcastle where he seemed to take ages to get to the penalty area when put clean through on half way.
I also remember him scoring a fantastic diving header in the holgate end goal but can’t for the life of me remember the opposition and cant find it on you tube. (I hope I haven’t dreamed this up
) In my head it was going to be my first choice too, but i am doubting my sanity now.
HELP!!!!!
