So FA cup Hendo or Davies goal
All of the goals mentioned deserve celebratory status and will no doubt go down in Dale-Folklore in their own particular way; every fan has their own favourite.
James, you mention Hendo or Davies; both FA Cup goals scored at the Sandy Lane end - the latter of which was executed under intense pressure being 2-1 down in the dying seconds of the match and from memory the cross having deflected slightly off a defender. No questioning the quality of a master-marksman striker who adjusted, trapped and hammered in the corner along the ground - that takes some doing against Prem. opposition.
I'd have to go with Hendos though. To execute such an audacious finish, wrong-foot Kenny (or perhaps he was just marveling) and score a goal that took the lead and we would end up beating Leeds; a truly unforgettable moment. Of course not happy with that Hendo's also left us with so many cool finishes; Cheltenham and Tranmere this season spring to mind.
PS. Oh for signing a Davies-type player in Jan; that would boost morale.

Aye, all the goals mentioned are very memorable and the FA Cup ones perhaps more than most.
To me it has to be Thompson scoring against Charlton. The final day drama after we had appeared down and out at Christmas. The added bonuses of twice recovering from cancer, being a local boy and sending Oldham down who had a few matches before ridiculed our chances

Agree with that. Wasn't it Joe's first touch of the game practically?
