Most important West Ham goals in the last 20 years?

Just thinking about some of the important goals scored in the last two decades and what springs to mind. 

1. Bowen v Fiorentina. Obvious choice. 

2. Zamora v Preston - Had he not scored that goal, who knows how we would have ended up. 

3. Reid v Man United - The last game and goal at Upton Park. Monumental. 

4. Vaz Te v Blackpool - Another huge goal in recent history, significant because it’s the last time we’ve had to fight for promotion, and a cup final win at Wembley. 

5. Stanislas v Millwall - League Cup game, losing up until the 87th minute when he pops up and grabs the equaliser. First time we’d beaten Millwall since the late 80s/early 90s I think. 

Yours?

Pablo against Alkmaar was special, just a brilliant moment. Bowen in the final too, nerves of steel

"and for older readers, Etherington v Ipswich 2004 play off semi final"


Older readers? I doubt there's ever been a poster on WHO that doesn't remember that ffs, average age on here is probably about 58

 . . . oops sorry nearly 21 years ago
Counts! 

I did consider Tevez v Man United, but we only needed a draw to survive.

Harewood in the cup semi final has to be there or there about.
