1) Hilly's overhead vs Macc in 03/04.
2) Sillsy's header at Wembley
3) Hilly's 'behind the keeper' vs Stockport in 05/06(?)

lee thorpe's overhead kick v stockport, when a young adam le fondre and jamie ward were in the stockport team.. I think?

Danny Stevens chip over the yeovil keeper in the ldv vans trophy game at home

lee cannovile's screamers from 30 years out into the bottom corner, (about his only ever career goal)

Mark Loram v Wolves away in Sherpa Van Southern Final (2nd leg)
Sills BSP Final

Best save - Neville Southall, can't remember who against but ball crossed to the back post, over Nev, who dived back to tip the header round the post - genius

Best save for me was Poke's at Histon. I know it was only instinct but thinking about when it was, it was unbelievable.

Another couple..

Eunan's 40 yarder over Larrieu
Nichos screamer.

...............and extremely important.

Good shout Nicho, my short term memory is shocking.

dave caldwells overhead against scunny, playoffs, cant remember the year, 88 i think and sills at wembley

Dean Edwards' goal v Bolton at Wembley and

Sillsy's goal v Cambridge. The moment we all realised it was going to be our day. Goose bumps just thinking about it......

Robin's two against Spurs (1965)
Robin's five against Newport (1963)
Robin's four against Aldershot (1964)
Robin's four against Walsall (1966).

Jason Fowler v Macc away. We played the most sublime football ever for 10 mins 3-0 up. Then capitulated for 80 and were lucky to secure a 3-3 draw

Eunan double home to Plymouth
Bodin away at plymouth (many, including myself, thought this would be the last time we saw Bodin in a gulls shirt)

But the best of the lot;
carlisle....checks instead he's looking for benyon.... .SILLS!!!! TORQUAY UNITED,ARE CLOSE TO THE PROMISED LAND!

Derick Dawkins goal against Tottenham in the FA cup to secure a reply.

Hilly's behind the keeper one against Stockport (and we still lost despite being 1-0 up at HT)
Martin Gritton's winner at Hull in 03/04 (that's when I first thought we could do it)
Richard Hancox' overheard kick against Cardiff City inthe league cup. Can't remember the year, though. Think he got a hat-trick in that game.

I miss Canoville's goal against Northampton at home (think we won 3-0) becuase minutes previously a Hockley clearance had caught me in the face and i was having my nosebleed patched up.

Pedant alert

I'm with Nick, Poke's save v Histon changed our future.

Some very memorable goals already mentioned and I'll add another. Anyone else remember Joe Kuffour's 85 minute winner against Swansea away in the 2003/2004 season? We were winning 1-0 from Graham's(?) goal nearly all game and the swans equalised near the 80 minute mark. Then little Joe scored on 85 minutes and all I remember is the Torquay fans going crazy!

Dawkins v Tottenham. Didn't we win 1-0 and wasn't it a two legged affair anyway?
