Similar to Team of the Decade ( not necessarily the best but the reaction to it )

Higginbotham v. Hearts ( I doubt I will celebrate a goal with such gusto again )

Craigen v. Morton

ATS v. Kilmarnock ( just before the Hearts game )

Doolan v. QoS ( then sat down and realised it was another 30 mins to sit through )

ETA O'Donnell v. Dunfermline

Some good ones already mentioned. How about the following?

Gary Fraser v Hearts, don't think I've seen a cleaner strike

SOD v Dunfermline, the impudent chip finish was just a joy to watch

 

Thanks Laukat for posting the highlights of the Dunfermline game. What a very good team we had then and we scored a few very good goals in that game. On a more personal note this game was 5 days after my Mother died. So the result and Thistle performance helped to make what started as a terrible week a bit more enjoyable for a few hours anyway. Also good to see myself and young Robert behind the goals.

My top five goals in ascending order are :-

5. Chris Erskine against Hibs at Firhill - great combination between Higgy, Lyle Taylor down the right  a clever dummy by Dools and a cracking finish by Chris.

4. Steven O'Donnell at Tannadice -  length of the park in 5 touches including a back-heel...this is the only choice I didn't see live.

3. Higgy against Motherwell at Fir Park - won the ball, weaved past 5 defenders and slotted into the corner...as said elsewhere Higgy was a man possessed that day

2. Stephen O'Donnell against Dunfermline -  a great team goal in a game when we realised that we might just have a special team

1.  Gary Fraser at Tynecastle - with a huge Thistle support behind the goal as the shot exploded in the net  and we knew we were staying up was a special moment

Definitely my favourite team in 48 years of watching Thistle. The ease in which the key members of that team rolled back the years playing in Dools' Testimonial still brings a lump to my throat.

For those of you quick at arithmetic, yes, I admit it, I am a gloryhunter. I started going to Thistle matches in 1972!
