Your favourite deflected goal?


Given what it and the overall result has done to their fan base, I'm going to say the one against Spurs, from yesterday
 
I seen some mag on twitter telling another fellow mag how lucky we have been this season with deflected goals and our luck will run out soon enough.

I'm struggling to think of any more 'deflected' goals we have scored this season ? someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Away at Watford in League Cup QF, 1985.

Nick Pickering’s shot hit Clive Walker and went in (or vice versa, it’s a long time ago 😜)
 
My memory serves me poorly, but Micheal Bridges scored one against Chelsea at Roker Park (Roker End) - his shot looped up off Micheal Duberry's back and over the keeper.

Anyone remember this or am I fabricating it in my mind?

Quoting myself as tome to edit expired.

It was 3-0 win to to the lads in the Riedy era with Ball and Russel on the score sheet.

Unfortunately bridges shot went down as a Duberry OG
 
Following on from Nordi’s today. I always find them a pretty satisfying way to win a game.

Craig Russell for me December 1996 against Chelsea at Roker.

His shot was headed for the North Sea before a huge deflection took it over the keeper to begin a lovely 3-0 win.

Many others?

I am not going to mention Wembley 1990.
It was the only thing that beat Norman that day.

Anyway I guess it didn’t matter (bastards) 🤣

Was Russell who shot and deflected up over and in.

This is funny. I could have absolutely sworn there was a deflection, both from my view at the game and for some reason even watching the replays at the time. Must have been the keepers movement that conned me !

Clever free kick. Completely sold the keeper one. Can tell it'd been worked on from the celebration.
 
Deflection or not, that Wednesday was one of the best days of my life. My youngest son was born then back home to watch the game on telly. Gave my ticket up so missed the game but the added joy of us being responsible for the filth going down was the cherry on top.
