The Simon Mills one was against Bristol City

 

 

Whilst the simon Mills pile driver is a cracking shot take a look at Van der Laan in the build up at about 30 seconds. He takes an age to get it under control; really pedestrian stuff. Apart from his flowing locks and tackling abilities I dont remember much else about Van Der Laan (apart from him dating a family friend who I thought at the time was the best looking thing in the entire city -- another story). Was he that limited with the ball?

I don't think he was the quickest around the park but he could shrug off challenges, pick a pass and hit the occasional thunderous drive. So not a bad player to have in your ranks with those skills especially as (like Simon Mills) Rudge retrained him to a new position (he was originally a striker).

His tackling was... full blooded too. I've just had a look and I can't see the clip uploaded to the OVF YouTube channel but I'm sure there's some footage of a game against Wolves (I think) where it was snowing and he does a sliding tackle which went on for about 20 feet. You can see the long line in the snow afterwards. I must dig that one out and put it up.

What more do you want? Must say it is a rare pleasure watching these goals. I thought we scored a good one from a short corner routine last season? Amoo was it? Best pure one (no context) I've seen is the Conlon hit to be honest.

The Amoo one was in the ill-fated Tranmere 3-4 debacle

Can anyone else remember our GK hitting the crossbar from a goal kick away to crewe about 20ish years ago? I was only young when my Dad took me to that game and he can't remember it happening so I'm starting to wonder if I dreamt it. 

I'm thinking it would have been Brain or Martin, maybe Goodlad?

That would be my top almost a goal 🙂

Could have been Delaney? I vaguely remember it too, think it was the same game Neil Brisco scored for us with the long range header?

I don't recognise the name Delaney, but I can remember Brisco. Unfortunately can't recall anything else about the match either. But at least you've given me some hope that I'm not cracking up!
