    I was in the Bradford End! Just to the left of the goal. 3/4 way up the terrace.

    Dead in line with the ball hitting the net.

    Stanley Collymore’s was also at the same end. I thought of those two after seeing the goal yesterday.

    I was there for the Bannister goal, also Danny Forrest scored a brilliant overhead kick as well.

    I remember Terry Dolan scoring one ( called bicycle kicks back then) against Southport in 76/77 season

    Bannie was my first childhood footballing hero.

    I remember his overhead kick goal.

    I was on the kop, couldn't believe when it hit the net, mind Barnsley's fans weren't too happy:p

    I too was in the Bradford End, right in line with Bruce. An amazing goal.

    Top man Rod thanks. Me and the kids were in the Kop for that one.

    Both on a par with the weekends effort imho.

    I was there for the Bannister goal against Barnsley.

    Strangely enough I was in the Midland Road stand, I never went in that stand, except to change ends sometimes.

    I think it was the only goal, scored in the 89th minute.

    One to remember.

    Great goal. Banny was the first centre forward I really remember

    He was my boyhood hero Bruce Bannister along with John Hall.
    I don't remember that goal as i was only 8 years old at the time but if i were there for that game i would have been in the Midland Road at the Bradford End side of the ground stood on a couple of bricks so's that i could see over the wall.

    Danny Forrest scored against Walsall with his overhead kick round about 2003

    Exactly where I was!

    I actually spent many many hours emulating Banny on grass whilst perfecting the overhead kick, and scored up to a dozen (that I can remember) as a player over the years.
