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.

That is likely the first, and probably last, time that Mark Kennedy has ever been compared with Ruben.

No comparison whatsoever as overall players. Just both brilliant goals.

 

[JonahWolf]

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. First time was it or second?
Bullard couldn’t get close.

 

[WilkyWolf]

Was visiting from Australia and had the privilege of being there - will remember it forever. Was my missus' first time in the UK and she came along for a chicken tikka and chips at the Stile for dinner and a Ruben Neves stunner for dessert - surprised she ever wanted to come home to Oz!

 

[Frank Lincoln]

He did. First time was it or second?
Bullard couldn’t get close.

I think Rubén did it on the second attempt. It looked like the kind of thing he does in training every day of week.

[clivewolves]

Great goal.
Great technique.
Great celebrations.
Great memories.
No goal music.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

That's the one, thank you. And that is why Ruben is the magic man.

Kennedys one off the crossbar at Walsall. Pearler.

 

[HessonWolf]

I was right behind it in the south bank, as soon as i got home i told my girlfriend our unborn son would be name Ruben….here we are 4 years later i have a son obsessed with Wolves and Neves in particular.

Yes - I was there ... a mighty fine strike too.

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!

What a season. Probably my favourite season. So many epic games and the novelty of seeing such class players bring our club back to life

 

[Wolvescol]

Unbelievable strike , made the hairs on my back stand up and almost made me cry , watching one of our own stun the football world helped announce we were definitely on our way back ,, 11th of April should be an official bank holiday

 

[SmokeyGB]

Benny's face was unreal as he turned away holding his hands to his mouth in what he had just seen..
If i'm not mistaken even the keeper sat on the floor smiling knowing he's just been beaten by an absolute world class strike.

There is a St. David's day, and a St. Andrew's day, so why not a St. Rubens day...

 

[DC sits in the NORTHSTAND]

I was there & kind of missed it, talking to my friends son he said "no he hasn't just tried that" as I turned back to watch the ball drop into the net!! Thankfully he got it on his phone & showed it to me after!! Lol

 

[WISAW]

Recreating it at the 2nd attempt for SoccerAM was also class, Bullards like ok then thats it lads let's go home, cracked me up.

I was at that game. Was a great goal but not as good as Neves in my opinion.
Check out the few wolves fans jumping up and down (in the Stockport end) as Kennedy scores.

 

[USA Wolf]

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!

Hey Chris, I’m doing well trying to work off the fluff from the past two years of binge drinking and inactivity!

I know New York was great but you were missed those wonderful Championship nights!

Hope you and yours are well, a USA Wolf tour of Wolvo has to happen later this year or I’ll lose my god damn mind! I even went to a MLS match just to feel something again!

Loved that kit, proper old gold

 

[TFWanderers]

Old sparky could hit a ball, no denying that. That hard, flat, low drive at Cardiff in the play off final, wonderful strike.

Great player for Wolves.

Yes, I miss real wingers! That play off one more like Ruben's strike at Sheffield Wednesday, controlled power.

 

[UEAwolf]

Loved that kit, proper old gold

Me too!

I won that kit signed by Mark Kennedy in the early days (comparatively) of the Wolves website which ran a competition!

 

[Minimalist]

Great stuff, hadn’t seen that before.
They did the same thing with jones and Henry goal for MM when jones flicked it up from a free kick and volleyed it.

 

[Burton Wolf]

I don't get to Molineux as much these days. But I was there that night, right in line with Ruben in The South Bank.
