Landmark goals

in General Charlton
with BFG’s first return on Sunday when he will no doubt get an extra special round of applause because of that goal it got me thinking about what other landmark goals have been scored, goals that have had that extra special meaning or impact for one reason or other.

The only one that came to mind is Fortune’s goal that sent palace down but there must be others.

    Kim Grant at the Den.

    Almost a quarter of a century later we're still waiting to win there again.

    Chris Duffy against Burnley in 1947

    Its meant for the last 72-years we've been able to say to Palace and Millwall

    Leaburns (Derek Mountfields?) goal that broke his drought at Villa.
    Also his penalty at Ipswich that gave him his hat trick.

    not landmark, but memorable.

    Bryan Hughes’ penalty at the Bridge in 2005. Chelski’s first loss at home under Mourinho - whether the ‘special one’ prick likes it or not 🖕🏼

    Pratley's in the semi-final was pretty critical too

    Rufus in the playoff final.

    Not only scoring with 5mins left to play when it looked like we were down and out but his first senior goal in what, 80 appearances?

    Dennis in the last minute anyone? Not really a landmark, but definitely one to remember.

    Not so much critical as it was memorable, but Jensen's goal against Blackburn after Friedel had equalised for them was incredible

     Not critical but just memorable. Lera v Swindon to complete the late comeback.

    Was it the opening game of the east stand, pardew to make it 4-3 against southend? I think we'd been ahead, had blown the lead then Super Al popped up at the far post  to slide in the winner!

    A personal one for me. Carl Leaburn - 6 May 1989 vs Wimbledon at Shithurst, injured whilst scoring and had to go off. We won 1-0 with Bob Bolder saving a penalty towards the end of the game. The victory went a long way to secure another season in the 1st Division (the win against Derby shortly afterwards confirmed survival).

    The game came after the first rumours/announcement that we were to return to The Valley and the 7,000 odd fans sang 'Back to The Valley' almost constantly for the 90 minutes, even though it took another 3 years and The Valley Party to make it happen.

    I dragged my wife to the game, arriving late and parking what seemed miles away. She was heavily pregnant with our first at the time!

    Nah that was Danny Green's goal @ Yeovil on Boxing Day

    Knew we'd win the League when we went from dropping points to winning whilst everyone else went from winning to dropping points... All in the space of a few mins

    Cliff Durandt - last minute against Southampton at home to win 1-0. The goal meant that we had to beat fellow relegation strugglers Luton and Walsall to stay up - and we did!
