He'll always have Wembley.

He'll always have Posh Spice

Rumour has it he is Brooklyn's real dad.

Rumour has it he is Brooklyn's real dad.

...and that he should really be called Littlemore Beckham.

The best OUFC goal at Wembley? Definitely in the discussion (although I'd have it at #2, after Houghton's in 1986)

Think Murphy's first should also be in the discussion, and arguably Hylton's header (more for the quality of Roofe's cross)

Surely you mean second rather than the deflected first?

The perfect weight on Rúben's through ball makes Murphy's 2nd a contender, and you'll never beat Potter's as the one that will live longest in people's visual memory, but in terms of the shot itself, you may be right.

Deflection ruled it out for me.

I'd have Murphy's second at #3.

For theatre and emotion, obviously Potter's would be #1. A dream moment none of us will ever forget.

You're ruling out Charlo's 40-yarder?

Its his middle name, which is a bit of a giveaway.

The Trevor Hebberd goal would be the most iconic for me personally followed Alfie's goal as a very close 2nd.

Hebberd and Charles' "thats 3 and thats victory" are both as iconic as each other

Good on him, nice to see modern footballers not all trying their hand at coaching.
