Cameron Jerome’s volley against Southampton, we all saw him play enough to know he’s probably not going to back him from there and then he connects with the ball like prime Bobby Charlton.

Andy Griffin V Coventry in the fog, a murky November night in 2006. Fog was much worse than it looked on TV. I can't remember his exact response when asked about the 'screamer of a shot' except something along the lines of apparently it was a great goal if only he'd seen it!  I watched that game in a pub in South East London. When that goal went in, I cheered (tempering my one man Stoke mental due to the locale) but it didn't stop one 'regular' telling me to "fuck off you Northern monkey cunt" at sufficient volume that the whole pub heard, which I felt was a little unnecessary. It was a Millwall pub but I did not fuck off. (I stayed for the duration of the match and then made for an Irish exit for fear of overstaying my welcome). |

Must have been ten playing in the Deputy Mayor 5-a-side indoor trophy at Clough Hall for our Primary school in goal. In the semi can't remember who we were playing but pretty much they scored with the last kick to equalise. We were playing in the wide/ low type goals and lad leathered it for the bottom corner but I'd read it and was down like a cat - however it hit the lip of the mat and span up. Managed to get my other hand to it and pushed it up so thought I'd done enough. Surprised to hear the sound of it hitting the bar turned around on the floor to see it slow motion hit me square in the coupon then trickle in - at one point it looked like the mat had killed it but it just dropped off and over the line at about the speed of the bus crash in Inception.
Saved a peno in the shoot out so we went through and ended up winning but at the time just wanted the floor to swallow me up.

I don't think this qualifies as a fluke really. Nor Jerome's, nor Figueroa's against us. They were all legit attempts at goal, just because they were unlikely doesn't make them "flukes". I think a fluke refers to a genuinely random event like a deflected cross or shanked clearance or something. Even Olofinjana's wasn't really flukey, he just threw himself at the ball any way he could to get something on it, which he did, gloriously. |

May I humbly suggest the 'flukieness' was Griff scoring at all let alone the chance he couldn't see where he was punting the ball anyway?  Hoof and hope Andy  |

Our semi final goal V Arse was a freak goal
One of my first ever games was a 1-1 V Palace. Gerry Murphy scored a freak goal in that game for Palace. A punt up the park that sailed over Roger Jones' head. Pretty sure they equalised last min, the away game with a clearance that bounced over him. Sammy Irvine gave us the lead in both perhaps.
We both went up

Freezer vs Man Utd in that friendly game when the ball cannoned off the bar, hit barthez on the back of the head and went it. Top mental. It's on this video at 2:30. Another cannon off the bar one...Can't remember who scored this for us or where*, saw it on highlights, at least 15 maybe 25 years ago, a rocket from just outside the box, hits the top of the bar and bounces vertically upwards really high, goalie stands still, momentarily doesn't know where the ball is, it comes down from the sky with snow on, right past goalie's face, bounces in front of him, and the backspin takes it into the goal before he can react. *If anyone can confirm details of this I'd be chuffed |

Gary Sprake throwing the ball into his own net Was a very young nipper sat in Butler St stand near Stoke End (was probably with my mum, my dad, or my uncle, was obsessed about Stoke City and used beg people take me the match, even though I barely understood what was going on lol). Anyway, oppo goalie runs up take a goal kick from left side of six yard box at Stoke End, he's going blast it long but changes his mind in the last split second and squares it across to his right back instead, only he slices it and it goes in his own goal.* *Again, would be great if anyone can confirm this and provide details, don't know if it really happened or I imagined it lol, it's a very early childhood memory. Edit: this'll be sometime in mid sixties |

We both went up The Arse FA Cup semi final cup at Hillsborough . Seemed to hit Denis Smith and rebound in..Saw Terry Conroys goal in the 1972 League Cup Final.. Great header by TC not a fluke.. |

Surprised no one has mentioned Bacuna's own goal against us, spooned that clearance from almost the halfway line lobbing his own keeper

Shawcross own goal vs Spurs was pretty flukey. Bale kicked the ball into his face and it bounced in, I think. Olpfinjana chesting the ball down and executing a diving header at home to Arsenal is another. That wasn’t flukey that was peak football. People think prime Barca was peak football but they don’t have a clue. My favourite goal against the Arse purely for how much it pissed off 'purist' Wenger....😁 |

Versus Sunderland at Roker Park circa 1983.
We drew two a piece.
Our first goal happened when Sunderland defender Jimmy Nicholl belted a clearance into Paul Maguires chest.
The ball rebounded into the net and Maguire turned around and celebrated as if he'd scored the winning goal in The Cup Final.

I think the clearance sparked Garth Crooks out and flew in. |

This was the first I thought of. Another was the German goal in the semis where it flicked off Parker. Maradona’s handball too. If only there was VAR back then. |
