Memorable Headed Goals

[Floyd Pepper]

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.

Yep, I remember it well, November 1994 - the weekend of my 21st birthday.
It was one of the most insane own goals I've ever seen. Had to be nearly 25 yards out & somehow he's headed it past his own keeper.
They were all terrified of Mick Quinn & their back 4 had a howler, including another own goal later in the game.

I'm so glad I didn't imagine it! I remember the second own goal was more run of the mill and Mick Quinn had a goal disallowed for offside.

I only had doubts because for more than 20 years I had unintentionally been mixing up my GCSE results in English Language and Englist Lit just to perpetuate a funny* story at my own expense.

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

Still have a recording of Sparksy commentary for this goal. Brings a massive smile. Limbs everywhere in the Demport when it went it and the pile on onto Trigger was the whole team.

As others have said

Ronnie at Wembley
Trigger against Ipswich
Peter Hartley against Pompey
Calum Wright last season
Captain fantastic on Saturday (Calum Wright involved again).



Ooh edited!!!!
I forgot about Ian Stonbridge at Sid James Park. A cross from Buster. Limbs everywhere 🤣

Hughie Reed! End of...

Has to be Hughie. Capped off one of the most memorable performances in which he turned the Torquay defence inside out.

he most powerful, unstoppable header ever scored at HP was surely Paul Ince’s own goal playing for Wolves. It was a thing of beauty, and the look on his face afterwards was worth the entrance fee alone.
Really enjoyed that one .Hated the governor with a passion.Always tried to play up to his reputation

A great end of season game, as both teams were under no pressure. Mickey came off a few minutes before the end to a rapturous reception. I think it was also Jim Magilton's final game for Ipswich - likewise he got a great reception.

I think that Joe Edwards’s header has to be up there. Recency bias accepted. Not only was it a cracking header, the value of it, to the club, runs into £millions.

Hartley's was for me the most memorable ... put simply there was no way back for Pompey with only nanoseconds left.

Saturday's effort now of course will be forever a brilliant memory, however, we still had the jeopardy of Hull equalising (or worse, winning) in the next 50 minutes.

All the others have been mentioned.

Steve Castle scored a few. I vaguely recall a cracking header away at Leyton Orient.

Fond memories of a Mariner header at Ashton Gate Xmas 76. 2-2 draw I think.
