Re: Best Darlo goals you’ve seen live

Other than the length of time and that it was a mid week away match, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Steve Holbrooks goal for Darlington at Highfield Road (Coventry) in the league cup during the 1973/74 season. Darlington eventually lost 5-1. It was as close to a mirror image of Ron Ferguson's go...
