I have gone for Steve Mckenzie's wonder strike because it was the last time I had hope for many years (after) that we had hope of winning of trophy. I thought about that goal for years after, years. We all know the outcome but it was all I was left with. Oh the memories.
Hoping our new rollercoaster gives us the thrill of our lives.

It's a difficult one. I've gone for Steve M as well. Never got the credit it deserved because we lost - and because we dont play in red.

I think that was the most difficult for anyone to replicate. We've all had a bash at the Tueart donkey kick, usually poorly. Maybe we could even hope for a strike like Yaya.

But McKenzie's? Just couldn't contemplate it.

The team play on the lead up to Samir's goal tops the lot.

Where's Yaya's against the rags at Wembley. Not the greatest in the world but probably the most joyous IMO....

On topic I have gone for Yaya's, when he hit it I was like WTF are you crossing if for and then it dropped in and I ran around a little bit (lots of empty seats near me as Gringo Twatburger was on a coffee run and the Makem next to me got launched). Now I have watched it back you can see he means it, he has a little look up and then just hits it.

On the Nasri one, I am not his biggest fan but I loved the look of pure joy on his face when he scored. A brilliant celebration that givens me goosebumps when I watched it back. Just brilliant.

Yaya, Tueart, Nasri, McKenzie for me.

Tueart/Nasri very difficult to separate but Tueart's came out of nothing on the day, whereas we had a sudden head of steam & were right on it when Nasri scored. To suddenly find something which changes the whole feel of the game is special.

Yaya also produced something out of nothing when we were not especially playing well & it was possibly the best goal ever scored at Wembley imo.

disappointed not to see Neil Young on the list.

Yaya for me.
A piece of absolute brilliance and a moment when 40 thousand mackems (including their team) were reminded what we are capable of and that the best they could muster would no longer be enough.
I was in line and didn't have a clue what he was thinking, but you can see when he raised his hand, he had something special in mind.
Wonderful

Shame for Nasri as his strike was top drawer, and the build up first rate.
Never criticise a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes.
That way when you do criticise him you'll be a mile away.
And you'll have his shoes.

Steve M, if only because I was young and had hair then. And I hate Tottenham and Chaz and Dave and Ossie's bloody dream.

Dennis Tueart is my all-time footballing hero. I was there when he scored that.

But, Yaya's goal is better. It's the best goal I've ever seen by a City player. He is one of the best players I have ever seen.

Interestingly, all 4 were into the same end of the ground, ie left hand goal as you face the royal box. Not sure if the orientation of Wembley is as it was.

Tueart's is the most iconic, but Yaya's is just unbeatable. The keeper even saw it coming from 30 yards out and still couldn't get to it. It was simply perfection. (In summary,, I went for Yaya's - any pundit trying to claim that was a cross really needs his head examining)

Mick's still a defender at heart: never give a forward any credit.
