BIG D Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Seeing as we're reminiscing, which of Hirstys goals is your favourite? I think I'd go for his effort against Villa on the first day of the season (even though as is the Wednesday way it ended in disappointment). So many to choose from though: The goal from Waddles pass against the Scrubbers. v The Gooners in the FA Cup Final His screamer at the Kop end against Man U Hull, when he ran from the halfway line (was there a similar one against City when he outpaced Vonk?) His diving header at Barnsley Top corner away at Newcastle Etc, etc, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loughborough Owl Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) v pigs at sty 92/93 season played a 1-2 with Waddle and put it int top corner :-) Edited January 25, 2013 by Simmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 He scored loads of spectacular ones, with a couple of my favourites being the one at Newcastle and a long range volley at Luton. For sheer ecstacy though, the one in the FA Cup Final was best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincolnowl Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Turn on the halfway line and bursting away from the defenders - one v Man City and one v Hull when he got 4. Pace, power and an animal in full flow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) I used to like his long run ins, my favourite of these I think was the one at Filbert Street where he went a good yardage before rolling past the keeper from about 25 yards. We won 4-2 in a canter. Edited January 25, 2013 by nevthelodgemoorowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best77 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 FA Cup Final. Went ballistic when that went in. Hirsty's commentary on video for it still makes me smile from end of season video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Turn on the halfway line and bursting away from the defenders - one v Man City and one v Hull when he got 4. Pace, power and an animal in full flow ^^^ that one for me but there were lots. How he used to get the ball with his back to goal and a defender on his back, swivel on a sixpence, burst of pace and slot past the keeper. That was one of his specialities.

Guest Nilsson_is_God Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Half volley against villa on opening day of season, big rons return I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Turn on the halfway line and bursting away from the defenders - one v Man City and one v Hull when he got 4. Pace, power and an animal in full flow The Man City one is my favourite Hirst goal. He left the Man City defender trailing in his wake, even though he was a pacy defender. I often get players mixed up, was the City defender, Keith Curle? Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 The one in the League Cup semi at Chelski, knew we were going to Wembley (at long last) after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat blondeau Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 David Hirst was my first boyhood hero. Pace, power and his left foot was like a wand. If he played today he'd be on over £100k a week. One of my favourite Hirst moments was not even a goal... he hit the post against Arsenal at Hillsborough and the ball rebounded to the half way line. His goals are still great viewing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owlsup Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I think we are forgetting the thirty yarder v Manu at old Trafford around feb 92? Is my mind playing tricks? About five thousand Wednesday going mental in the then standing up scoreboard paddock surrounded by fourth thousand Nancy's with faces like slapped arses - reminded me of 91!
