Late goals and wild celebrations at Loftus Road...... 09:36 - Dec 11 with 2059 views

Tuesday night’s late drama got me thinking, it’s been over 50 years since my Dad took me to Loftus Road for the very first time. There have been some very special late goals that are forever etched into my brain and will remain there until I move upstairs to join my Dad at that “great gig in the sky”. I can’t remember what I did yesterday but if I close my eyes I am taken back in time within our little blue oasis to some very special moments and celebrations and these are them:

Dave Webb v Stoke City - One of my first memories and the goal that got me hooked.

Clive Allen v Crystal Palace - Police horses on the pitch and carnage outside so exciting for a 14 year old boy.

Gary Micklewhite v Newcastle United - In the Loft with my mates.

Kenny Sansom v Arsenal - Not as late as the others but it certainly brought the house down.

Les Ferdinand v Blackburn - Don’t know why but this late goal has always stayed with me.

Jamie Cureton v Port Vale - Bit like Tuesday they scored in injury time and we then went straight down the other end and Jamie scored for his hat trick in front of The Loft.

Paul Furlong v Leicester - I think we came back from two nil down.

Paul Furlong v Luton - An important late goal to keep us up and send our MIG friends down.

Paul Furlong v Oldham - Forever etched in time. I swear West London moved a few degrees on the geographical map.

Charlie Austin v Doncaster Rovers - New Years Day and it got rid of my monstrous hangover.

Charlie Austin v Wigan - We’re going to Wembley.

Jamie Mackie v Liverpool - 2 nil down after 74 minutes No problem.

Dijibril Cisse v Stoke City - So important in staying up.

Jimmy Dunne v Birmingham City - So important in staying up and getting Jimmy closer to Alan McDonald legend status.

And now welcome Kieran Morgan to that special elite club. I’m sure there are others not mentioned but these are the ones that have stayed with me and as John Lennon once wrote in his famous Beatles song “In my life I’ve loved you all”
