To counter the other thread when we should be getting ourselves up for the next match rather than looking back to previous disappointments, how about these for starters:
1) Keogh....Zamooooooraaaa. Obviously 2) Rowlands v Swindon 2 minutes in to the game before Hillsborough that we had to win 3) Remy v Wigan. How shortlived that hope was.

Lazarus was before my time and I wasn't at Wembley for Zamoraaaaa but I'd like to add Sinton's last-gasp goal at home to Arsenal in the cup and in the pouring rain. Sansom's opener was probably a better goal technically but Sinton's turned unbearable tension to unbeatable euphoria.

Must have been incredible John.
It truly was. From the time Marsh scored the second one,half of Wembley stadium, so maybe 40,000 people, were chanting Rod- nee, Rod-nee at the tops of their voices and it was reverberating round the ground. When Lazarus got the winner the joy and relief after being 2-0 down were indescribable.

Late goals are always the most joyous. Nothing better than Zamora, but these instantly pop in the head, though not with as much detail as I'd like....
v Oxford (H) 86 or 87 - one of my first ever games and I recall John Byrne scoring, the ground going mental and my relationship with QPR well and truly starting
v Man U (H) FA Cup 88 I think - Macca with a late header, never seen the ground as packed as that night.
v Wim (A) Early 90s. Dennis Bailey hallelujah
v Port Vale (H) Can't remember who scored, but they'd equalised in the last minute to make it 2-2 and I just remember Rowlands turning someone inside out to cross for ???.
v Stoke (H) - Cisse, knew that was us staying up as Bolton let one in at almost the same point. And knew they wouldn't do win on the final day.
The celebration for Zamora's goal lasted about 3 minutes... Incredible. The Helgason goal at Palace was great as I ended up about 2 rows further forward and 4 seats over to the left from my original seat... similar to Birch's at Bentford which was proper old school open terrace celebration. I also remember Furs scoring a last minute goal against Lootown to keep us up and send them down... which was nice.

The best ones recent ones are already taken so I'm going to head back to the late 80s / early 90s when i first started watching the Hoops... I am not sure that any of these are genuine candidates for "most joyous goal we ever scored", but they were pretty tasty at the time.
1) Sinton in the pouring rain to make it 2-0 in an FA Cup replay against Arsenal in about 1989 or so. 2) Falco scoring in the 85th minute to make it 1-0 against Spurs in, maybe, 1989. 3) Andy Gray's winner in the 3-2 thriller against Man Utd in or around 1990. 4) Wilkins insane over the shoulder equalizer against Liverpool in an FA Cup quarter final - I'm guessing that was 1991?

Against it all, Furlong v Oldham edges the play-off final winner. Not sure why. Partly my dislike of Harry. Partly because I wish the chance had fallen to Austin, who deserved by a million times over to be our promotion-winning hero, seeing as he'd almost single-handedly dragged us there in the first place. It was still incredible, and easily second, but Furs at home for me.
Others, Spencer at Vale. Adel's second v Swansea, because it was a thing of beauty. Ishmael v Leicester. Furs v Leicester when we came back to win 3-2. Birch at Brentford. Mackie v Liverpool - which probably gets 3rd place for me. Mackie v Derby Mackie v Man City Adel v Watford Gallen v Sheff Wed Furs v Sheff Wed
I imagine Cisse v Stoke was great, but I was abroad :(
Bare bones.

loved the 3-2 game against Leicester , funny enough we were all over them even when they went 2 up , I knew we would win when Connelly was sent off , also does anyone remember the save pressman pulled off before we scored the winner, world class for a fat lad
Ishmael miller is a good one , I knew we would go up
apart from the obvious furlong, Tricky trev , Mackie& bobby goals il give a few that stick out to me which arnt obvious
john byrne against Chelsea in the milk cup , nuff said
kevin gallen 1998 vs oxford , we were on a lousy run under harford and were going down , they scored (kevin francis, remember him ? ) and we battered them second half and super kev equalised with 10 to go , I went chicken oriental when that went in
mark falco last minute vs spuds in 89 , the loft was jammed that day and when he scored there was an almighty crush, I was hugging a bloke with an inflatable crocodile
macca against utd in the cup 88 , last minute flick from ossie straight on maccas canister and we made it 2-2 , the game was a sell out with hundreds locked out , I was in the paddock and again I was swept off my feet
Barker vs Liverpool qtr final of the fa cup , again last few minutes they had gone 2-1 up until barker smashed it in from 20 yards, he always scored goals like that
david pizanti vs west ham , game was held up for an hour loads of ICF had dodgy tickets loads of tension in the air then it exploded with pizantis banana shot ,
Rowlands vs Swindon , we needed a win as Bristol city were chasing us , last home game of the 2003/04 season , bang 2 minutes in and rowlands scores a tap in , fcuk me what a nervous 88 minutes that was
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

I saw Cissés against Stoke with Mrs Hoop who is Italian and some Roman, Roma-supporting, friends. The game was pretty dire but the goal celebration went on and on for about 5 minutes, it was epic. I explained in good time that going on the pitch is a Very Serious Offense, but on we ran with every one else and the Mrs joined in some light baiting of the spittle-flecked fat topless northerners in the upper school end.
The next day at Heathrow a very stern-looking customs officer spots her Rangers scarf: He: Could you please tell me Madam, did you attend the match yesterday? She: Err, yes? He: I see. And did you invade the pitch at any time? She: Errr, ... (blushes) ... maybe? He (looks even sterner, then breaks out a wide grin): Good girl!
Her proudest moment
A magnificent football club, the love of our lives, finding a way to finally have its day in the sun.
In a very particular orde: Zamora at Wembley Lazarus to win our only serious trophy in our history Adel vs Swansea, after nutmegging Joe Allen, resulting in a very loud FFS, from the diminutive Taff.

Yeah that Leicester 3-2 was amazing. Dead right we were so unlucky to be 2-down in the first place. Great comeback. Pressman was in a middle of a weird run then when he conceded 3 against us almost every time he played us for a while.
Barker v Liverpool a great shout.
I was at that Swindon game but don't remember the goal at all. Just the nervousness.
how about Furs v Luton? His time was almost up, but he got one last goal for us, a winner, and it pretty much sent them down too. Lovely.
Bare bones.

Mackie's at the Etihad was similar, because at that point it looked like keeping us up against all the odds. Both involved rolling around on the floor with strangers. If I kissed anyone on here I apologise.
Also for me Routledge away at Reading with ten men in Warnock's promotion season.

Another ancient one voting for Mark Lazarus at Wembley in '67.
Mark get's my vote too, I had to pinch myself because I thought I was dreaming.
Everything great about this club shown in that goal.
50,000 R's fans go nuts in the east half of Wembley Stadium. Funeral at the other end.
Lovely. I can still picture every second of the celebrations.
Kenneth Wolstenholme commentary "And people will be talking about this game for year's and year's and year's - stay away from Shepherd's Bush tonight." He got that right.
