Memorable Headed Goals

[Dunc67]

Given a season where we've scored precious few headers, what were your out of seat headed goal moments of the past, 3 spring to mind for me, Obviously Mauge Wembley is one, then that last minute Playoff semi header from Hartley against Pompey, but none will ever better Saturdays Joe Edwards winner for sheer elation it just seemed to mean so much.

It was literally worth millions I would suggest. Could someone hazard a guess on the amount involved ?

I'm sure a Wrexham player scored a headed own goal from outside the box at Home Park in 94/95. It was Mick Quinn's debut on loan and the memory I have of this goal is so vivid that I hope it's not my imagination playing tricks.

Foggiest game I can remember attending, to boot.

Far less crucial but will always remember David Friio scoring two last min headers v Gillingham in our first season back in the championship in 2004/05. Came from nowhere to win 2-1.

Callum Wright‘s 96th minute winner at Shrewsbury last season was right up there as one of my favourite moments ever supporting Argyle.

 

[Sean]

Mickey Evans final game for us against Ipswich, scored a diving header followed by a pile-on team celebration!

 

[Barrie Davis]

Mickey Evans against QPR but I have to say that Saturday's goal was probably the best headed goal I have seen at HP in my 60 years. Great measured cross, ran a long way in, perfect contact (from a considerable distance) and powered past the keeper giving him no chance. Perfect all round.

Derek v Darren

 

[Ross]

Trigger scoring our first against QPR and his header (if i remember rightly) against Ipswich for his last game for us

 

[Cousin Pavlos]

Steve Cooper scored some beauties but I recall an incredible one from the edge of the box. Home game, evening kick off from memory but I can’t recall the opponent (Bournemouth, perhaps?). An ex high jumper and one of my favourites when I was growing up. Sadly gone but not forgotten.

 

[Green 1886]

Paul Williams v Colchester. Very reminiscent on the Edwards goal Saturday. In a season where I’d been saying we needed to get more headed goals, how ironic it was a header (just our second of the season) that kept us up.
I think we need to have more of an aerial threat, even if it’s off the bench as a plan B next season

David Friio scored 2 headed goals in the dying minutes of our home match vs Gillingham in Oct 2004.

Will always be a favourite for me, not only because he's my favourite ever Argyle player - but my dad (Gillingham fan) and I were in opposite ends of the ground that day! 🤣

 

[IJN]

Obviously Hartley v Pompey. One of our great moments surely?

Plus Sir Tommy's flying header v Bristol City in the 4-0 promotion night.

 

[elburtontrev]

The 2 v Alsopp are just great, aren't they 😊

Omg how good was Stevie Cooper in the air (rip)
