Best headed goals

[Gramsci]

JFH away in Rome.

Never celebrated a goal like that before or since. Was knackered afterwards!

Can still see it in my mind’s eye. What a night that was!

 

[SmogOnTheTees]

This was my entry from yesterday, but was ruled out on a technicality

Clearly offside

 

[Davey_C]

JFH “header” against the Jawdees

Paul Wilkinson's against Bristol Rovers is just as bad (see headed goals 1/3)

 

[MichaelDebeve]

Another for Juninho v Chelsea!

Massimo v Steaua will always be hard to beat though

 

[red_harrington]

This will be #2 behind Van Persie in the non-Boro list

[Andybarca]

This one from Pollock is pretty special

 

[FlapJacks]

This always stuck in my mind as a boy. Nice build up too.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

Wot, no mention of Wilko’s stunner at Wolves in ‘92?

 

[Glover_elbow]

St marys old boy Keith houchens cup final goal for Coventry

 

[Doom_On_Horseback]

Mark Hateley v Inter Milan in the derby

Love headers like this

 

[MoggasDog]

Unbelievable power for a header
Similar to the Hately goal above. Get your neck into it!

 

[Uhtred]

Billy Ashcroft, Newcastle away

 

[Yarmblue]

Another vote for Mowbray. However, his headed goal at Ayresome Park against Everton in the FA Cup replay, 1988 (I think). Maybe it was the occasion and atmosphere but what a goal

For boro the Mowbray goal v villa is iconic. All time, you can't go wrong with van Basten.

 

[Trug]

Hugh McIlmoyle v QPR

 

[Frozen Horse]

I love this as an intelligent piece of improvisation. Got to see it from the later angles to appreciate it fully.

My favourite Boro headed goal was a Brian Deane effort v Southampton (?) from an unbelievable Phil Stamp cross. Definition of a “Bullet Header”.

For boro the Mowbray goal v villa is iconic. All time, you can't go wrong with van Basten.

Great technique that mind, but was an OG

As a kid I always remember Dereck Johnstone scoring rocket from the edge of the box for Scotland against Wales better with his than some guys were shooting
