7. Goal v Crewe '87
8. Spurs goal
9. Ooh. Man U
10. Zorro's Play off goal
1. goalkeeper in the 91 promotion year, scored the winning penalty at wembley in the play off final.
2. indeed, the dog bite which triggered injury time which then brought the equalising goal v crewe. a story in united folklore.
3. one of the most exciting players i have seen, but mainly, our club record transfer sale.
4. scored a lot of goals in his time here. in my time watching torquay only bedeau and loram have scored more, but both over a period of a lot more games. indeed scored at barnet (in that game), and a lot in promotion year (did he score at southend, i cant remember), earning himself a big money move.
5. our 1st ever goalscorer at wembley (v bolton), but also has scored vs blackpool, so scored on 2 different occasions at wembley.
6. yes, record appearances, mr 100% and yes, cheeky goal.
7. indeed, the injury time goal vs crewe, also scored quite a lot that season in a relegation threatened team. scored a load of goals the following year which almost took us to promotion. im sure he scored more in that season than anyone has in a season since.one of the best strikers i have seen for us.
8. indeed, winning goal vs spurs, the biggest giant killing i have seen us make in a cup game, although we lost the 2nd leg we still won a game against tottenham.
9. yep, our biggest transfer (not monetary), sold to man utd - he came from the youth system, also at 16 years old was our youngest ever player when he made his debut. had a lot of success at man utd, won trophies and played for england.
i would say definitely our biggest success from the youth system.
10. came at a time when we needed a reliable goalscoring hero. scored a truckload of goals over 2 seasons in our dark days of the bsp, helped put a big smile back on the face of the club, culminating in - yes, that wembley goal that sealed our return to the football league (the instant sense of relief and the tear that trickled down my cheek after that, blimey).
