Your luckiest goal scored.

During Sundays game I scored possibly my finest goal,I received the ball halfway line beat 4 players and unleashed a 20 yard screamer which beat the keeper all ends up.

I am fibbing,

Defender in the 6 yard box launched it which smacked me on the back of my head and flew in ,Semi dazed I knew very little about it.

Anyone else who scored a jammy goal?
 
I've never scored a jammy goal, but I came close to a screamer once.

I was playing for a friend's team once. We had just let in our second goal to go 2-0 down. I was taking the kick off and I asked the ref how long there was until half time. He said just a couple of minutes. I then told the guy taking the kick off with me to roll the ball back a yard so I could have a shot. He did, and I aimed for the top right hand corner of the goal. Unfortunately I missed, the ball hit the corner of the right hand post and bar. The keeper was beaten all ends up because he simply couldn't reach it. It was close to being a miracle goal, but didn't even count as a shot on target.

Nearly a Becks special,Hard luck.

Just glad there are roll on/roll off subs because the crazy woman almost took my head off with her clearance and my gaffer took me off for 10 to recover.

The worst goal I ever scored was interesting. It was a corner, and the ball came to me about 5 yards out, and I had my back to goal. I turned and shot all in one move, and the ball found the bottom corner. Unfortunately I was defending and was trying to put the ball out for another corner!

Haha classy OG,

Few years ago I was chasing a long ball with the striker in hot pursuit as I was about to roll it back to the keep the ball hit a divot and my lofted pass sailed over the keep and in..I wanted the ground to open up.
 
Luckiest goal I've scored was when playing 5 a side and was on the half way line looking to get it into the penalty area and everyone missed it including the keeper.

As for 11 a side, I'm usually played at full-back despite being as bad as Straker at defending!

Wouldn't/shouldn't of been allowed then. Ball has to move forwards from kick off.
 
Three goasl that really stand out for different reasons, all playing for Westcliff Amateur in the borough combination back in the day.

Playing against Borough Sports I remember there being a melee in the box with about 12 players all trying to kick the ball and me just running through the lot and banging the ball in the back of the net.

Friends of my ex were always good at football and I always seemed to get mocked for not being as good as them. It all stopped one day when I played against one of them. One of the lads was in goal for the opposing team and the sheer joy and relief when I slotted the ball past him was worth a lifetime of mocking.

Final real memorable goal was over at Belfairs. Won the ball, ran 30 yards and with the outside of my right foot (I am left footed) curled the ball from the left corner of the 18 yard box into the top right hand corner of the goal. Wild celebrations ensued but 2 mins later the defender I mugged off for the ball went through me and my ankle came up like a balloon.

Played against Unc a few times when he was with Traders I think, obviously didn't know him then.
 
I scored from halfway line once a few years ago at Garons. It was a totally fluke (but celebrated like i meant it) I was just looking to put it in the mixer as their defence had dropped quite deep (onto the edge of the box) and the wind caught it and flew over the keepers head and went in!
 
Kev will tell you i've scored one or to fluky ones, and he'd be right!

Best Sunday League goal i have seen (possibly the best goal i've seen live), was Benny D (TheycallitMadness). Goalkeeper took a goalkick, straight to Benny on about the Halfway line, Volleyed it back on the full, like a bloody arrow, straight into the opposite top corner, no keeper would have saved it. Think Kev was there, and would agree!

I was standing right behind it. It was outside of the right boot and curved back into the top corner. Additionally it wasn't a goal kick, the keeper had come haring across outside the side of the area to clear a through ball but despite him then flying back over to the goal he could do nothing about it. Unbelievable tekkers.
 
My best jammie goal was back in my junior school football days playing for Ingrave Johnstone.

We had a corner so I took up my usual postion on the penalty spot. Ball came straight at me, I took a lovely right footed swing to volley it rocket like into the top right corner, missed it completely with my right foot, the ball hit square on top of my standing left foot and trickled pathetically into the bottom left corner.

Still took all the plaudits though :smile:
 
Playing in the dizzy heights of an inter-departmental match, I was about 20 yards out by the touchline and crossed the ball. More accurately, sliced it straight into the top far corner. Not only was the opposing goalie a departmental manager, when he commented on the goal I said "Yeah - I saw a gap and went for it!". (Oh no I didn't! - a pure slice (ha ha) of luck!)
