OK, inspired by today's Guardian Joy of Six article - your favourite Norwich goals

of this decade?

A few of mine, in some sort of order:

1. Leon McKenzie v Man Utd, 2005.
Everything about it is brilliant: Safri's determined tackle on Rooney - just on the right side of fair; Huckerby's run and pass which takes two United defenders out; Ashton's sublime first-time cross; and McKenzie's volleyed finish and self-aggrandising celebration. I defy anyone not to have wanted to join in with it.

2. Malky Mackay v Wolves, 2002.
Deep into injury time, the goal that we all thought would take us to the play-off final. And who better to score it?

3. Lee Croft v Ipswich, 2008.
A blinding finish from a player who didn't score too many. A goal - and scoreline - that gave us genuine (if misguided) hope of staying up.

4. Leon McKenzie v Ipswich, 2003.
The first one, naturally.

5. Youssef Safri v Newcastle, 2005.
A tough call between this and Ashton's winner, but the Moroccan comes out on top for sheer audacity.

6. Marc Libbra v Man City, 2001.
What an introduction! The goal that kick-started our play-off season, and a few years of genuine excitement and hope.

Yours?
