Favourite last minute win at West Ham?

[dagraham]

Any win against the pikeys is fun, but Saturday's game doesn't even come close to the others imo.

I'm finding it really hard to choose between the first two though.

For pure amusement factor the 4-3 wins, as West Ham were in the shit and at the time it could have been the game that condemned them to relegation.

The Bale game though was more important at the time for us and it was such an amazing goal and moment that I think it just edges it for me.

All of them were amazing, but I went for Stalteri's winner.

I watched the game in a pub with a few mates (we all support different teams) and one of the group -a Newcastle fan- was giving me so much stick the entire game. When Stalteri came on I think the game was poised at 2-2 and there was about 10 mins to go, he was so smug..."There you go mate, there's your match winner, Paul Stalteri!?! Your manager is clueless!"

Fast forward to the 94th minute. I completely lost my shit! I turned to the bloke who slated us the entire game "THERE'S OUR MATCH WINNER, PAUL STALTERI!! HE'S ONLY GONE AND WON IT!!"

That was a good day.

Stalteri - unbelievable match. Trailed in the game on a couple of occasions and to not only draw level, but to beat them, was brilliant. West Ham bench had already lost the plot with Berba's free kick.....they must have been completely devastated when the Canadian rocket stroked it home to win it. Teemu scored a great goal in that game as well.

This thread is awesome

Ill got with Stalteri's winner although as others have said, the bale goal was special at the time..him and AVB celebrating like that

I was on the phone at the time we broke up the pitch and just lost it, went absolutely crazy, think I deafened the person on the other end, brilliant, still get goosebumps, what a match.

Andy Gray "Oh no, oh no...."

I think Stalteri. What a run from deep and finish.

Note Stalteri , Bale and Dier each scored at the Spurs end. Very considerate !!

 

[HotspurFC1950]

All three were magnificent.

But I loved the Bale winner. I still have that one on my DVR and love to occasionally go back to it. He takes a tumble, ref waves advantage, he gets back up, seconds later...THWACK!!!

Also, don't forget that Jaaskelainen was in fine form that day. Yeah, we scored 3 on him, but if he had been even a shade worse, we could've had at least 5.

Spam fans were giving it to Bale then he recovered to smack a fantastic goal. Great feeling.

I wonder if we should have a load of T-Shirts printed off with our own 'Last-Minute Treble' 2007 / 2013 / 2014 and make sure those horrible racist pigs know about it?

Nice.

2007: 3-4 Berbatov levels in last minute and Salteri wins in at the death.

2013 2-3 Bale continued his incredible run by thumping that late winner.

2014 0-1 Who should pop up but 20 year old debutant Eric Dier


All immensely enjoyable but for me 2013 with Gareth was the stuff of dreams.

Which gave you most pleasure?

That Berba free kick was special too. The only one he was ever allowed to take !

 

[jonola]

The Berba game for me

Partly for the game but also for the Jol commentary about it on the season review

"and then it fell to Jermain and I was thinking don't shoot, don't shoot but of course he shot. But then Paul Stalteri probably one of the fittest Spurs players ever ran up and hit it home"

Or something like that

This one wasn't quite as special as I was just at home watching Gillette. The other two times I was going loco in the pub. 2007- citrus, headingly and 2013 jet lag, fitzrovia if anyone is interested.

2007 was a great game, Lennon's goal was class.

2007, if for nothing more than Noble's tears. What. A. Tool.

2007, if for nothing more than Noble's tears. What. A. Tool.

Easily my favourite. The way they celebrated beating us on the last day the year before was a lot to take. Their fans acted like they won the league!! So to see their players flat out on pitch, head in hands and crying was friggin great!!

Just a shame it didn't send them down.

 

[SlunkSoma]

I'm really surprised that the 3-4 isn't way out in front. That was an incredible game, and at the time had the added bonus that we'd likely relegated them too. It was one of my top 5 spurs games as a supporter I would say.

 

[dontcallme]

The 2007 one for me. I was watching in the pub which wasn't really a football pub. The game was so back and forth. Tevez had played well but hadn't been scoring and it was obviously a big moment for him and West Ham to see him score. Berba was immense that game. Just a great game and thinking we'd sent them down made it awesome at the time.

The Bale one was also good as we hadn't played well that game and looked like losing. I always enjoy moments of brilliance and that's a goal I can watch with joy for years to come.

Saturday's was slightly less enjoyable due to how bad a game it was. Other than the red cards there was little drama. But as they beat us 3 times last season and keep on going on about it, it's still a pretty sweet feeling.

 

[SWyid]

Got to be the 3-4 for me, was watching it with a west ham supporting 'mate' and I can remember him being so smug when they were 2 nil up at half time.

Also, I hadn't seen that video of Bale's winner from behind the goal before, love that who I can only assume is mystic Meg shouts 'it's in!' just after he hits it!
