Second Best Ever QPR Volley 17:27 - Jul 28 with 5724 viewsAntti_Heinola

Ignoring Tricky's, which was the best.
Any nominations?

Falco?
Austin at Southampton?
Does Birch's at Brentford count?
Nygaard?

Bare bones.

oooh thank you Mr You Tube



I missed that game as I was away and read the newspaper report the next day raving about it. Never seen it before though heard everyone mention it over the years'. Good find. Maybe if I'd just typed in "Trevor Francis goal v Charlton" i might have done!

A random Richard Langley one v Blackpool springs to mind where he met his own cleared corner on the corner of the box flush on the full volley and it flew into the far corner.


Yep - was sat behind it. It swerved twice on the way in.

There was that incredible Buzsacky flick lob that was on the volley.

Also, of course, Tony Scully v Palace in the 5-0

(Charlie's v Soton last season was a really great goal and didn't get the recognition it deserved. Loved that Dex v Preston too.)

Also tricky Trev, in div 2, let rip from outside the area on a skied clearance when it finally came down. Can't remember who against but it was the View From season.


Yep it was against city in a 2-2 draw , it was hit 1st time from 40
Yards out after dibble I think tried to head it out
Someone mentioned Trevor Francis against Charlton in the league cup
It's not on TV but one of the best goals I've seen and I was there for the
Tricky trev bicycle kick
Other mentions go to stein vs West Ham in 88 & Falco vs Sunderland 91
Oh and Connelly vs Blackpool

And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles Brian Moore

The thing about that Sinclair one v Man City is he had finally - reportedly - put a transfer request in the week before, some 18 months after relegation. He was booed at the start by QPR fans, and then had his touches booed, until he scored that goal and then everybody cheered again!

Yeah that was a good one, 1-0 down then Maddix went into midfield in the second half and stopped Ince from having any influence. Stein's volley was superb

I seem to remember that goal against City being scored early on (September/October) in the first season after relegation in '96?

Yeh I've looked it up and you're right, 12 October 1996. He definitely got booed that day for reportedly requesting a transfer.

Seem t remember a nice one from Dexter against Preston I think.


Chested down then hit on the half-volley if I recall, from Nygaard's 60-yerd laser-guided pass/hopeful punt downfield. Probably the most important though, we were on our way down if we hadn't won that night.

That was our game in hand against a team who were chasing the play offs. Nugent missed an absolute sitter at some stage and I seem to remember them finishing the game with nine centre forwards! About 11000 there that night. One of our most unrecognised really important games of the last 20 years

Some great goals,loving the Trevor Francis goals, had the video of that season . Brings back memorys.

Talking of disallowed goals, bit of a controversial one this,but didnt SWP hit a cracker a couple of seasons ago. That and his Chelsea goal the only thing i'll remember him for, and i'm not sure i'm even remembering that right. He probably missed.

Edit-Was meant as a reply to taxi's disallowed goal post.

How nobody has mentioned Connolly v Blackpool yet I'll never know. Absolutely stunning, 1:15 onwards...

Falco against Chelsea in 89

Trevor Francis also scored a brilliant volley against Charlton in the league cup, was at that game but have never seen it on tv since so may haqve not been as good as I remember.

Martin Allen hit a few screamers as well, one volley at home to Newcastle was tasty.


Actually the Francis goal was an overhead kick and also it was outside the area and not in the centre.

Therefore imho it was better than Trevs. But everyone remembers Trevs goal so, they discount.

Trevs goal does not even make my top 3.
Hows that for controversy :P

Was against WBA. I remember it was a cracker. Not sure if it was a volley. I know he has his haters, but up until then he had not looked so awful for us, but the disallowed goal seemed to hit his confidence hard. Rarely seen producing anything of note from then onwards, bar the Scum goal

The other thing I remember about this game is Pat Agyemang coming on as a Preston sub!

I remember most of these in the thread and would add one from more distant memory when Tony Currie hit a spectacular volley from a ball that dropped nicely over his shoulder 1981 ish ?

Can't remember the scorer. Can't forget the night at home to Brum in an absolute deluge of rain from about 9 am in the morning . Shot from about 25 plus yards . Won 1 nil

Well the YT video is there to watch in the thread and it's tremendous.
But Sinclair's is better. Not sure what the goalie was doing with Francis's for a start.
Francis's is more of a scissor, Sinclair's is the best, pure bicycle kick ever scored, except for Pele's in Escape to Victory.

Bare bones.

I remember the Stainrod one. Also, same season I think a Gary Micklewhite overhead kick away at Charlton. Xmas game. Great atmosphere.

My memory is bad. I am sure there was a John Gregory overhead kick against Norwich, I believe, which I would shut up about at the time. In a 2-0 win. maybe it was Stainrod... maybe against Cardiff? Who knows
