To be honest I think it'd be a pretty close run thing as to who has seen more games, but that's neither here nor there. If we assume you've seen more than me then that strengthens my point if anything as I've got less to choose from but can still easily think of several better.

All very subjective though, what I see as a better goal you may not. I agree Williams' goal was a good one, I'm not disputing that. I just don't see it as anywhere near one of the best ever.

Other than your usual thunderbolts/long range shots it's right up there for me. Fair cheered me up to see a moment like that at HS, especially recently. This lad's a cracking player and he'll get better too. In fact the fightback lifted the heart, Barrow being like..well..Barrow.

I was right behind the shot Steve and could see it was going in as soon as the ball left his boot. I hope we have a sell on clause sorted for the lad. It could earn us a small fortune.Best goal ever, not for me. What about Walkers Winner at that Wembley in 2010. Anyone remember that :lol:

I agree. I've only seen Williams once at Woking but he does everything in the right way. Where many of the lazy players didn't do their defensive work he dropped off when Barrow were defending and did a great stint. He has control, kicks a ball very well and has intelligence. Definitely a prospect for the future.

A bit of a coincidence Jonty but I think that Walker goal was scored against---Forest Green. It was a belter.

Are you talking about Eastleigh in the FA Cup, when Cook and Walker both scored quality goals? Walkers being from about the half way line in the last minute.

No I remember the Walker one in the rain, he jumped on the wall in the celebration. Think HB has the one. Cook versus Forest Green. It'll be out there somewhere.

I remember that one too. I was on the popular side and when he hit it I couldn't see it for the roof until it dropped down over the keeper and in.
