Ruben scored the best goal I've ever seen live.

Still makes me smile.

I love watching the reactions of the fans and the other players!

 

[ewarwoowar]

we were in the south bank and when the ball hit the net there seemed a temporary stunned silence then an almighty eruption,although it probably was`nt like that.but i agree i have been following Wolves for 60 years and will concur the best goal i have ever seen live

He has, by an absolute country mile, the best collection of ridiculously superb goals of any Wolves player that l have ever seen.

That’s exactly how I remember it. Stunned silence, a roar of “wowwwwww” then the cheering!

 

[VancouverWolf]

It was a thing of beauty…….

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Mike Dean would have found a reason to disallow it if he'd had been the ref.

 

[Saltyjim]

Curtis Davies was doing comms for the Watford game the other week and after Rubens masterpiece then , they got talking about the Derby goal. Davies, who was playing, said it was the best goal he’d ever seen live.

Me too. I remember thinking afterwards that in all my years of watching Wolves, I'd never seen a goal followed by a silence when you could have heard a pin drop, and then the crowd explosion.

Wonderful, will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I can't even tell you how many times I've watched this video, but it's bordering on unhealthy!!

The last view I spotted the 2 guys on the front row of the SB. The pause, the cheer, then they just embrace. I like to think they didn't know each other, but Ruben's goal made them the best of friends!

 

[Kebab Warrior]

It was incredible.

However I liked the one he took on his chest then half volleyed (Espanyol? Was that the same game Jota scored an overhead kick?).
Also the curler against Utd.

 

[WolfLing]

Boly finger-slapping on 0:42 too. Great stuff.

 

[SquaddieWolf]

I was watching it on holiday in a Welsh pub full of Cardiff fans salty about the Friday before lmao

 

[5150]

Remember being wide mouthed in amazement ... "did I actually just see that ? "
Lasting memory for me is , a few minutes later , Derby had a corner. Ruben went back to defend and Vydra actually shook his hand.( more of a "low five")
Always special when a fellow pro appreciates what we all witnessed.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Didn’t celebrate until a split second after just taken by what happened. What a goal that was

 

[Tarcisio Mifsud]

I had the previlage to be present at Molineux on that unforgettable day.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

It was great that we'd had the screens put in, because I think most of the crowd weren't totally sure of their own eyes first time. Remember the deafening chorus of 'we've got Neves' after we'd all seen it live and the replay! That was one hell of a season.

what made it even better was my grandson pausing the picture and we were on it!!!stunning,amazing there are no words.....to coin a phrase

 

[Hot Fuss]

Poor first touch to be honest.

 

[whitnash wolf ex.dewsbury]

wonderful goal.
had the Vile fans saying no one would beat Greasy`s volley the night before lol

 

[Lisas Husband]

Happy Ruben Neves day.

Easily the best goal I've ever seen live. And to top that up (as I got into the car to head home) TalkSport were saying that if Messi or Ronaldo had scored it that the world's media would be spaffing all over the place about it.

I just grinned like a childish little **** who'd just been given something special, and sang 'we've got Neves'.

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

A thing of sheer beauty.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

So good was it that even some of the Derby fans were applauding.

 

[topcat99]

I heard that the entire press box stood up and applauded.
The hack that I heard it from said that he had never seen that reaction in 30 years of covering football.

 

[Abbobrom]

One of the Derby coaching staff lived next door to me at the time. I saw him a couple of days later and asked him what he thought of the match. He said "We got what we deserved, but that goal was something else.‘

 

[Pagey]

Probably the loudest I've heard molineux since it became an all seater, " we've got neves" on loop

I think you’re right ... there was a collective Molineux gasp ... followed by mass celebration.

 

[Darvo]

And so, St Rubens day is born

 

[Darvo]

Chap next to me missed it ... he’d gone for a ****ing coffee!

 

[USA Wolf]

I’ve only made it over to attend 5 matches in person but 2 were Cardiff Away/Derby Home and I will die happy

Hi Alex, hope you are well? It's 5 years since we first met in San Antonio and on Ruben Neves's day 4 years ago I was watching the match in a bar in New York. We'd just come down from the Empire State Building before the game and tbh I was so thrilled I could have run all the way up to the top! Happy, happy days!

 

[johnnybetchas]

Nobody, and I mean nobody who was there that night will ever see a better goal. Fact!!!

 

[manchesterwolf17]

To think, in the space of 12 days we had this, the Middlesbrough 9 men victory and the Cardiff penalties.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that Ruben was on a sky programme with Jimmy Bullard, and was asked to reproduce that goal, and he did!!

Or did I dream that bit.

He did one with Carragher and Neville. You may be right with Bullard as well.

Bullard took about 10 attempts

 

[VancouverWolf]

Ohhhhh……didn’t know that.
Guess we’re all making a fuss for nothing then.

I was there as well and that's exactly like I remember it...

 

[Pagey]

What bettered it for me, was vile supporting family had just been lauding grealishs strike, giving me loads about how it was the best they'd seen and how much better than Neves greasy was.

Then up stepped Neves and told someone to hold his pint.......

 

[manchesterwolf17]

The only other goal I'd mention in the same breath that I've seen live was Mark Kennedy's at Stockport in 2002.

The technique was just ridiculous.

 

[jackdusty]

I took great delight in reminding Scott Carson about it when he brought his lad to football training a couple of days later, he did say it was the best goal he had conceded. He holds no grudges as his lad is now in the Academy.
